T

he Burj Al Arab (or “Arabian

Tower”) is the tallest hotel building

in the world. Built on an artificial island

in Dubai, the glamour capital of the

United Arab Emirates, this seven-star-all-suite hotel

has already become an international landmark.

With 202 suites, and floor to ceiling windows

offering a breathtaking view of the sea, the

Burj Al Arab offers a wide choice of rooms.

The two Royal Suites on the 25th level are

undoubtely the most luxurious hotel rooms

in the world.

A new kind of luxury has been especially created

for this very special hotel where everything is

beyond compare. The Burj al Arab combines the

spirit of traditional Arabian culture with the

quality of the latest technology and modern design.

Sicis was able to supply the hotel with “ne plus

ultra” marble and “Smalto” mosaics, with

“tesserae” in colors specially created for this

project in the same way as much of the decor

designed on commission.

The architects - a team of 150 designers and

engineers from the globe-trotting English design-

build firm K. C. A. - have carefully planned each

step of the project and have supplied Sicis with all

the necessary details and specifications.

Sicis marble and “Smalto” mosaics have been used

extensively throughout the hotel because of their

high quality, beauty and style. They can be found

on the floors and walls of the suites

and restaurants, on columns and domes, in the Spa

and health fitness facilities, as well as in the hotel’s

atrium which is the largest in the world.
