The Burj Al Arab is a five-star luxury hotel in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. It is one of the world's tallest hotels, despite the fact that 39 percent of its overall height is non-occupable space. It is managed by the Jumeirah hotel company. Burj Al Arab is located on an artificial island 280 meters (920 feet) off Jumeirah Beach, with a private curving bridge connecting it to the mainland. The structure's form is intended to imitate a ship's sail. At a height of 689 feet above earth, it contains a helipad near the roof.
Chicago Beach was the original name for the coastal region where the Burj Al Arab and Jumeirah Beach Hotel are located. The hotel is situated on a reclaimed island 920 feet offshore from the previous Chicago Beach Hotel's beach. The name of the location comes from the Chicago Bridge & Iron Company, which used to weld massive floating oil storage tanks known as Kazzans on the site.
Murray & Roberts, now Concor and Al Habtoor Engineering, a South African construction company, built the hotel. The interior designs were led and produced by KCA International's Khuan Chew and John Coralan, and the project was completed by the UAE-based Depa Group. The structure first opened its doors on December 1, 1999.
