Awesome Architecture of Dubai

Burj Al Arab

Situated on its own island near Jumeirah Beach, the sail-shaped structure is one of Dubai’s most iconic sights. The third-tallest hotel on Earth, and frequently voted the world’s most luxurious, Burj Al Arab is home to over two hundred lavish suites, including the two-story Royal Suite that costs a cool $24,000 a night. The helipad on the 28th floor is a star in its own right. There is a mini golf course on top of the building itself.

The Palm Atlantis

Standing proud at the apex of the Palm Jumeirah, Atlantis The Palm is one of Dubai’s most popular resorts, combining a five-star hotel with high-end restaurants, the Chambers Aquarium and Aquaventure water park. Opened in September 2008, this blush-pink behemoth was designed by Wimberly, Allison, Tong and Goo, and features 1,539 guest rooms spread over two wings. Connecting the wings is the Royal Bridge Suite, a $23,000-a-night retreat that’s played host to Kim Kardashian West and other stars with serious coin.

The Opus

The first and only foray into Dubai for the legendary architect Zaha Hadid, The Opus balances the sharp lines of a glass cube with a curvaceous space in the center. When it officially opens in September, this futuristic structure near the Burj Khalifa will house luxe residential properties, commercial zones, and a 93-room hotel from Spanish brand ME by Meliá, including 15 bars and restaurants. This daring design is a fitting legacy for Hadid, who is known as the “Queen of the Curve” and was the first female architect to win the prestigious Pritzker Architecture Prize.

Dubai Frame

The Downtown Dubai skyline looks to have been plucked straight from the script for a movie. Perfectly positioned between the two, the Dubai Frame in Zabeel Park captures that juxtaposition, presenting scenes of the former from one side, and the present from the other. Dubbed the largest picture frame in the world at 492-feet-high and 344-feet-wide, the gold structure opened in January 2018, offering visitors 360-degree views from the glass-bottomed bridge that spans the top of the frame.

Burj Khalifa

The world’s tallest building, at a lofty two thousand seven hundred and twenty two feet, Burj Khalifa has become synonymous with Dubai’s growth and grandeur. Since opening in 2010, this cloud-piercing structure has become the centerpiece of Dubai, housing the ultra-luxe Armani Hotel, residential units, restaurants and bars, as well as the At the Top Burj Khalifa SKY experience, taking visitors to the top floors for jaw-plummeting views of Dubai. The one hundred sixty story Burj Khalifa was designed by Chicago-based firm Skidmore, Owings and Merrill, the winners of an invited design competition, and features a triple-lobed footprint inspired by the spider lily flower. The best sunsets in Dubai can be viewed from the Burj Khalifa.
