Burj Al Arab is a luxury hotel located in Dubai , United Arab Emirates. A 321 m is the fourth tallest hotel in the world . Burj Al Arab stands on an artificial island 280 meters from Jumeirah beach , and is connected to the mainland by a private curving bridge . The shape of the structure is designed to mimic the sail of a boat. Sometimes referred to as "the only seven-star hotel " , its star rating is disputed.
The beach area where there are Burj Al Arab and Jumeirah Beach Hotel was previously called Chicago Beach . The hotel is located on an island of reclaimed land 280 meters from the shore of the beach from the old Chicago Beach Hotel. The name of the town had its origins in the Chicago Bridge & Iron Company which at one time welded giant oil floating oil storage on site . The old name persisted after the old Hotel was demolished in 1997. Dubai Chicago Beach Hotel remained as the Public Project Name for the construction phase of the Burj Al Arab Hotel until Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum announced the new name.
