Q: Some websites say 5 stars. Other websites say 7 stars. Which one is correct? Thanks in advance If it was a 7-star hotel.. then how could it be? I mean isn't the highest possible is a 5-star hotel?
A: As of now, there is only one 7 Star rated hotels in UAE as per seven stars & stripes ratings and is, 1. Emirates Palace Hotel in Abu Dhabi, one of world's costliest hotel, Kempinsky hotels international managed one. In case of Burj Al-Arab, in Dubai, even the hotel's official web site or some other rating company's official websites, it is not mentioned that it's having a rating of 7 star or 5 Star. Advertisements in non-official sites are like this: "The Burj al-Arab Hotel - The worlds 'ONLY' 7 star hotel" but the fact everyone knows. Do the world only having a single 7 star hotel? It is 100% misleading... But, the real fact is Burj Al-Arab only a 5 Star hotel. If mistaken, pardon me, Thx An addition to my answer: It is now 100% clear that Burj Al-Arab is only a 5 Star hotel. The information I received officially from Burj Al-Arab Management: a part of the mail is "We have reviewed your email and we would like to inform you that Burj Al Arab is a 5 star deluxe property as per the hotel classification association, however many journalists have proclaimed the hotel as a 7 star because of its uniqueness and service quality. " Mail from Sales Relations Officer of Burj Al-Arab Hope this is enough. Thanks Vinod
