With its duplex suites starting at $1,095 and reaching $18,000 per night, the Burj al-Arab, or tower of the Arabs, the world's tallest hotel, opened on December 1, 1999. Saudi Defense Minister Prince Sultan was the suite's first guest, staying there the month before the hotel's official opening. As a guest of the premier hotel, you can take a helicopter to the 28th-floor helipad or relax in one of the hotel's eight Rolls Royce Silver Seraphs, which drops you off on the shore across from the hotel. All the suites boast laptop computers, faxes, and 42-inch television screens. The new Emirates hotel is taller than Paris’ Eiffel Tower and just 196 feet shorter than the Empire State Building in New York City.
