One of the most luxurious hotels in the world----"Emirates Palace"

The hotel looks like a palace

What is the most luxurious hotel concept in your opinion? Five stars? Super five-star? No, no, no, the "Emirates Palace" hotel in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates, will fully explain to you what is the best hotel you can stay in.

The "Emirates Palace", which cost US$3 billion and was just opened to the public recently, is claimed to be the most luxurious and expensive hotel in the world.

The splendid hotel lobby

The world's largest dome

The "Emirates Palace" has only 400 rooms, but has 128 kitchens and pantries. The hotel lobby is dotted with 1,002 crystal chandeliers, requiring 10 dedicated staff to keep them clean and bright.

Willy Optkamp, ??general manager of the hotel, proudly said that it has the largest hotel lobby dome in the world.

“Think of our coffee service,” Willie said: “Coffee in silverware, linen napkins, rose petals on plates, crystal sugar cubes, crescents of soft almonds. Sugar bread, imported pure water, and the lady can also get a rose. ”

To build this hotel, nearly 150,000 cubic meters of imported marble was consumed, covering an area of ??25 hectares. It's so huge that hotel staff drive golf carts through the corridors.

“Some corridors are 1 kilometer long, and a woman may not be able to find her way back to her room after dining.” Willie joked.

In fact, the hotel has far more staff than guests. Even when it is full, the number of service staff is 6 times as many as guests.

Sleep peacefully in the fragrance

When night falls, the hotel service staff will put a small bag of lavender on the sheets, and the fragrance will penetrate into it. They will then place lavender under the pillow so guests can sleep peacefully with the fragrance.

The bathing attendant will give you a menu with 7 bathing methods for you to choose from. If none of them satisfy you, no problem, for just a few thousand dollars you can fill your tub with champagne.

The floor of the room is covered with carved marble and covered with soft carpets. The room's lighting is hidden in the ceiling, emitting a soft glow that is said to be inspired by the shimmering light of night in the desert. A night here costs between US$625 and US$13,000.

Want to swim? There are dedicated service staff responsible for holding umbrellas and watering you to dissipate heat. Others will clean your sunglasses and bring you food. The two swimming pools are as large as several football fields and dotted with Jacuzzis.

Design from famous designers

The hotel was designed by British designer John Elliot, who has designed palaces for the Sultan and the royal nobles of Brunei. The "Emirates Palace" was originally built as the parliament hall of the UAE government and was later changed to a luxury hotel. The 6 suites of rooms on the top floor of the hotel are reserved for royal families and nobles of Arab countries.

Elliot hinted that several local chiefs had contacted him, hoping that he could help design the palace. Elliott does not think that the "Emirates Palace" is excessively extravagant. "No one would say that Buckingham Palace (the British royal residence) is too expensive." He said.
