Burj Al Arab
Burj Al Arab (,''Tower of the Arabs'') is a luxury hotel located in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. It has been called "The world's only 7 star Hotel" and is the third tallest hotel in the world; however, 39% of its total height is made up of non-occupiable space. Burj Al Arab stands on an artificial island 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. It has a helipad near the roof at a height of above ground.

The beachfront area where Burj Al Arab and Jumeirah Beach Hotel are located was previously called Chicago Beach.〔Krane, Jim ''City of Gold: Dubai and the Dream of Capitalism'', page 103, St. Martin's Press (September 15, 2009)〕 The hotel is located on an island of reclaimed land 280 meters offshore of the beach of the former ''Chicago Beach Hotel''.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Dubai's Chicago Beach Hotel )〕 The locale's name had its origins in the Chicago Bridge & Iron Company which at one time welded giant floating oil storage tanks, known locally as ''Kazzans'' on the site.〔
The old name persisted after the old Hotel was demolished in 1997. ''Dubai Chicago Beach Hotel'' remained as the Public Project Name for the construction phase of Burj Al Arab Hotel until Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum announced the new name.〔
