This building started in 1994 and was ended in 1999 to be opened in December that year. The main architect of this building is Tom Wright of Atkins. It is a luxury hotel located in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. At 321 m (1,053 ft), it is the fourth tallest hotel in the world. Burj Al Arab stands on an artificial island 280 m (920 ft) 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 ship. Sometimes incorrectly referred to as "the world's only seven-Star hotel", its star rating has been often debated.
I really like this building because of its design mostly, I love the way the architect tried to impersonate a sail on a ship, I think that it is a very creative building and a great architecture art form.
