Emirates Palace Hotel | Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates

Krazy · August 9th, 2006, 09:44 PM

The Emirates Palace is a luxury hotel located in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) capital city of Abu Dhabi. The hotel was built by and is owned by the Abu Dhabi government, and is currently managed by the Kempinski Group.

With a construction cost of over US$3 billion, the Emirates Palace is reputed to be the most expensive hotel ever built. It's considered by many to be only the second seven star hotel in the world after Burj Al Arab - also located in the U.A.E.

can you explain why?

Novak · August 17th, 2006, 06:44 PM

7,5 / 10. Yes, it is kinda grand and cool. But there's too much... everything.

***AltinD*** · August 17th, 2006, 06:56 PM

Whay that is a problem when this was supposed to be "to much ... everything". Is like saying a Rolls Royce is crap becouse there is to much luxury and expensive materials on that car.

***Matthieu*** · August 17th, 2006, 07:01 PM

I don't like Rolls Royce.

Well, it's luxuous, and massive. But there is something that bugs me. It feels like it lacks of taste. Like if, they just put everything that was expensive and big together.

That blue ceiling on a pic is what annoy me the most.

This ceiling also has something I have troubles to digest, it seems extravagant but is filled in a conventional background. Either it should stay classical or it should go totaly mental and mix everything (see the style of the opera garnier) but there is something that prevents me from giving it more.

8,5 still.
