Ultratravel, the Telegraph’s luxury travel magazine, has named the Burj Al Arab the best hotel in the world. This Middle Eastern luxury hotel beat out the world’s most luxurious and most impressive hotels, including the Four Seasons George V in Paris and the Mandarin Oriental in Hong Kong. Readers of Ultratravel were given the opportunity to pick the best hotels in the world, in different countries and many other classes and this was the major favorite.

This is a big deal for the Middle Eastern hotel, though last year it was chosen by UK readers as the best hotel on the planet. What makes the hotel so amazing to travelers is the fact that it offers many things that most luxury hotels haven’t thought to offer just yet. Anyone looking to have a one-in-a-million wedding is free to book the helipad at the luxury resort on which to exchange vows. The large and impressive circular helipad sits far above the ocean, offering wedding guests and couples unending views of the surrounding city of Dubai and the ocean.

Guests also have the use of 24-carat gold iPads, and all children staying as guests of the luxury hotel are given their very own butler to ensure they are always with cookies and their milk is fresh as can be. In addition to being named the best hotel in the world by Ultratravel, the Burj Al Arab is also the world’s leading hotel according to the travel industry’s version of the Oscars, the World Travel Awards.

Each of the guestrooms at the Burj Al Arab is spacious, features a breathtaking view and offers only the highest of high-end amenities. In addition to a spa, several world-class restaurants and plenty of other amenities and attractions, the Burj Al Arab is not lacking in anything, which is why it’s the world’s best hotel.
