Parus Hotel Dubai: luxury glass and stone

Word classic "Lone White Sail ..." the first to come to mind at the sight of this masterpiece of modern architecture. Previous word we said, without the slightest share of sarcasm. This hotel is actually listed in the book "100 miracles of modern architecture" and really deserves all the epithets awarded his idle onlookers and people, at least for one night found refuge within its walls. If you still have not figured out what kind of building in question, we will help - this hotel Sail in Dubai. Burj Al Arab - the dream of every modern gonna. However, to see the white sail, standing on the bank of a nearby pond - is unrealistic. Behind him will have to go very in the United Arab Emirates on the Persian Gulf. But it's worth it. Even if you do not will gain family happiness with a local Greys in burnous it really rested on the highest category.

With true Arabic scale

Propensity UAE residents to grandiose projects, a life of luxury and a wide gesture is known around the world. And Hotel Sail - living proof. But in this case, this tendency brought to the absolute. Whatever per gram does not detract from the merits of the hotel in the eyes of tourists and visitors to Dubai. Parus Hotel - it really is an amazing building, on the right bearing the title of the architectural marvel of the day.

Perspicacious Sheikh Mohammed, who wanted to transform Dubai into a better place exclusive holiday, booked hotel project by British architect Tom Wright. It was his idea to build a hotel in the shape of the sail traditional Arab boats "dou". In the past, the coastal waters of the bay were covered with these boats.

If we talk about the scope and try to clothe it in numbers (it's easier and easier to grasp), we find that in order to build the luxury hotel had to build an artificial island in a bulk three hundred meters from the coast. It can not sail standing in the middle of the city! But then the construction site of the century brought more than twenty thousand meter quadrant of the Carrara marble. But this enormous expenditure is not limited. The fact is that the construction is not used concrete blocks and building a high-tech fabric with Teflon coating. What for? How else could get snow white "walls" of the hotel? Do not forget about the harmful effects of sand in the desert, the scorching sun and salt spray of the ocean. So far-sighted Arabs have decided not to be penny wise and used the best materials that only money can buy.

It is worth to add eight thousand square meters of gold leaf, precious woods, designer furniture in the rooms and impeccable service. And you realize that this hotel can not be cheap, and that each of the seven diamond stars, indicating a level of comfort here in his place.

Best vacation, without leaving the hotel

At the time of its opening in nineteen ninety-nine, the hotel Parus was considered the tallest hotel in the world. Now it is the title of the hotel tower rose, but the most expensive hotel in the world sail remains to this day. Overnight in the "simple" room with a view of the bay will cost about three thousand dollars. And it did not reduce the number of people willing to stay here.

And how else, as the hotel - a small resort state within a state. You can spend an entire vacation without leaving the hotel and at the same time in what does not refusing. If you urgently wanted at the beach - in the list of services includes sending guests on special elite beaches of Dubai. But if you're willing to settle for the pool, then there is no need to go out by itself. This isolation is a good attraction for Hollywood stars who are tired of the paparazzi attention.

From the aquarium to the helipad

In order to increase the feeling of unreality of being in the hotel, you can go down to the restaurant Al Mahara. It is arranged around a huge aquarium Plexiglas. Hundreds of species of exotic fish swim by while you varnish excellent dishes of French, Italian and Arabic cuisine. Absolutely authentic feeling that the restaurant is located under a layer of ocean water!

If you gravitate to the celestial spaces, you - the top by a panoramic lift to the restaurant "Al Muntaha", which is located at an altitude of two hundred meters above the ground. In addition to the fine cuisine as a nice extra you get a stunning view of the Arabian Gulf. By the way, this restaurant is chosen celebrities from all over the world, because you can get to the hotel undetected for onlookers. Right on the rooftop helipad sail is.

But even if you do not have available three thousand dollars for "unpretentious" two-story room at the Sail and enjoy this miracle inside like - do not worry. Of course, just because the hotel did not get there, but I understand and enterprising Arabs provided all. There are special tours of tea at the hotel. For little in comparison with the price of accommodation, you can drink tea in a cafe in the hotel. And spend a couple of hours in the luxury worthy of this oriental princess.
