Tom Wills-Wright























The Burj Al-Arab designed by Tom Wills-Wright is a luxury hotel in Dubai that pioneers into the future of design. The building is 1053 feet tall and has a hotel, restaurant, conference rooms, and a fitness club. The building is an echo to a sail flapping in the Persian Gulf. The hotel has been awarded with seven stars the only hotel in the world to have received such a prestigious award. The building is off limits to visitors to ensure the privacy of the guests. Some guests even arrive by helicopter by landing on the 28th floor. In all the Burj Al-Arab is the crown jewel of the United Arab Emirates.























The Interior of the Burj Al-Arab sparred no expense. The giant columns are finished with 22 karat gold. The ceiling extends up to 600 feet tall where the guest suites are. Every 30 minutes a fountain launches water into the air. The Burj Al-Arab is almost like a little taste of Las Vegas minus the gambling, due the extravagant interiors matched with a new age sleek exterior.
