You’ll find 13 different restaurants serving cuisines from various countries, including the Metro restaurant with an open kitchen. The hotel also features an “infinity” outdoor pool with a bar that wraps around much of the property.

After personally visiting some of the hotels and analyzing and comparing prices, we conclude that for the best experiences and exceptional service, Burj Al Arab is the place to go. The hotel literally screams exclusivity and the highest level of service: from the building's shape (a sailing dhow) to the two-level suites adorned with 24-carat gold.

For those seeking a balance between quality and price accessibility, we recommend considering Millennium Plaza. Starting prices begin at 399 AED per night, which is affordable for most. However, it's important to note that rooms at this price may not always be available.

If you still want to stay in the tallest hotel, we suggest looking into Gevora Hotel, even though its ratings on various booking sites can be quite controversial, and it is located far from the beaches.
