How is the hotel's "star rating" determined?

Use the number and color of stars to indicate the level of tourist hotels. The stars are divided into five grades, namely, one star, two stars, three stars, four stars and five stars. The higher the star rating, the higher the grade of tourist hotels.

But there is one exception.

Burj Khalifa Hotel in Dubai.

Dubai is the second largest city in the United Arab Emirates. In the 1950s, it was a simple seaside town in the Arabian Gulf. After the 1990s, Dubai experienced a complete transformation. Rows of skyscrapers miraculously stand on the banks of the Hall River, making people feel like they are in new york. Like other cities in the Middle East, Dubai is rich in oil. But for an ambitious new city, if you want to show your talents in the new century, oil is definitely not all. It opened the door and vigorously developed tourism. Due to its high-quality environment and rich culture (because 80% of the population are foreigners), most tourists to Dubai are high-income classes such as models, artists and businessmen. At the suggestion of the Crown Prince of Dubai, the famous entrepreneur Allermark Toum invested in the beautiful Burj Al Arab Hotel. The luxury of the hotel is amazing. Critics don't know how many stars to give it: five, six or seven. Built on an artificial island by the sea, the hotel is a sailboat-shaped tower building with 56 floors and a height of 32 1 m, designed by British designer w.s.atkins. It is far from Jumeirah Beach Hotel (considered as the best hotel in the world), with 202 duplex rooms, a 200-meter-high restaurant overlooking the whole city of Dubai and the highest atrium in the world. When you come here, you can truly appreciate what is magnificent. Its atrium is golden, and so is the most luxurious 780-square-meter presidential suite. The room area ranges from 170 square meters to 780 square meters, with the lowest room price of $900 and the highest presidential suite of 18000. The presidential suite is on the 25th floor, with gold-plated furniture, a cinema, two rooms, two halls and one dining room, and a dedicated elevator. Versace, the late top fashion designer, once praised it.

Dubai is the second largest city in the United Arab Emirates, similar to Shanghai in China. We don't know much about this distant Middle Eastern country: we only vaguely know that it is an extremely luxurious country, and the cost of planting each tree here is more than $3,000. Here are some of the most expensive hotels in the world, the most aristocratic sports in the world, and the water here is more valuable than oil. Mercedes-Benz is used as a police car here, and gold ornaments are part of a woman's weight. At the same time, it is a country in the eyes of world war, located in the Middle East, but the Iran-Iraq War, the Gulf War, "9. 1 1" and other terms are isolated from it. There are veiled women and men in white robes and hats, luxurious house walls, charming folk crafts and magnificent mosques. In the dancing figure of dates, there is an intoxicating exotic atmosphere everywhere. There is the world's longest cake 1.75 miles, the world's largest shopping bag, the world's eighth wonder-the world's largest artificial island, with a cost of $3 billion. At that time, the island designed in the shape of a big palm tree can also be seen from the moon.

Boci is the only seven-star hotel with the highest building height in the world (because the hotel facilities are too advanced and far exceed the five-star standard, it has to be called a seven-star hotel as an exception). Opened in 1999 and 65438+February, * * has 202 superior rooms and is built on the artificial island Jumeirah Beach Resort 280 meters away from the coastline. Boci combines the latest architectural and engineering technology, charming scenery and modeling, making it look as if it is integrated with the sky. The Boci project took five years, two and a half years to fill the artificial island in the Arabian Sea, two and a half years to use it in the building itself, using 9000 tons of steel, and driving 250 infrastructure piles 40 meters below the sea floor. Designed by British designer w.s. atkins, the hotel looks like a sail full of wind. There are 56 floors, with a height of 32 1 m. It is the tallest hotel in the world, higher than the Eiffel Tower in France.

The interior of BOC International Hotel is extremely luxurious and eye-catching. Even the doorknob, the water pipe in the toilet and even a note paper are covered with gold. Although it is gold-plated, if all the details are elegantly decorated with gold, it is a test of the designer's taste and skill. Because of the appearance of water sails, hotels are full of water-related themes (perhaps in desert countries, water shows more financial resources than gold). For example, once entering the hotel gate, there will be different ways of spraying water from time to time, each of which is carefully designed. It takes about 15 ~ 20 minutes to change the spray method, which is no different from water dance. You can also enjoy the aquarium up to ten meters by elevator. It's hard to believe that it's a hot Arabian desert outside.

Splendid hotel suites let you feel the luxury of the Arabian oil king. 202 rooms are all two-story suites, and the smallest room is 170 square meters; The largest royal suite is 780 square meters. And they are all French windows, which can face the endless Arabian Sea at any time. The most surprising thing is that as soon as you enter the room, there is a housekeeper waiting to explain to you how to use all the high-tech facilities in the room, because the luxurious and distinguished service purpose of the hotel is to make the guests feel that they are the king of Arab oil, which makes people feel surprised and sighed at the power of money. Take the most common luxury suites as an example, including curtains and light switches. There is a Toshiba laptop on the desk, and you can surf the Internet at any time. All the paintings hanging on the wall are original.

The highest one should be the royal suite on the 25th floor and above, which is elegantly decorated. The top decoration and furnishings are collected from all over the world. It is as magnificent as a palace, with gold-plated furniture, private elevators, private cinemas, revolving beds, Arabic-style reception rooms and even a cloakroom larger than ordinary hotel rooms. The late top fashion designer Versace once praised this. The most special thing is that there is a mirror as big as a bed on the ceiling of the bedroom. Is it strange to sleep face to face with yourself? All bathroom utensils in the bathroom are Hermes brand, including soap and cologne. Of course, the shower equipment is also outstanding. In addition to the shower nozzle above, you can also choose to spray water in three stages, next to a jacuzzi set off by mosaic murals, and a leather lounge chair at the door of the bathroom for passengers to rest.

There are restaurants on the sea and restaurants in the air. Guests only need to take the express elevator to reach the ai-mahara restaurant, which stands 200 meters above the Arabian Gulf, in 33 seconds. Entering a restaurant designed in space, with soft blue-green lighting and wave design, is like entering another world. This restaurant can accommodate 140 customers. At dinner time, the night sky is bright, and you can enjoy advanced Mediterranean cooking, which is the highest enjoyment of life. Only delicious Mediterranean food is served, which is a major feature of this restaurant.
