Decorated by the same designer who worked on Dubai’s famous sail-shaped Burj Al Arab, this five-star hotel prides itself on luxury. The dazzling decor includes no less than 60kg of gold leaf, silk curtains and a 12m Swarovski crystal chandelier. All the rooms have a 42-inch plasma TV (with obligatory gold panelling) and 24-hour butler service.
