Burj Al Arab -- We're still unsure why one might need a revolving four poster bed, but at $24,000 a night you can deliberate for yourself in the Burj Al Arab's Royal Suite. Located in the world's first seven-star hotel and decadently furnished across 8,400 square feet, it's still perhaps the most coveted place to lay your head in Dubai. And with a choice of 14 types of pillow, you'd expect a restful night's sleep.

The Royal Suite's most extravagant touch? The 24 carat gold iPad guests are given to contact the concierge. A useful backup should all 27 phones dotting the suite happen to go down.

Kempinski Hotel Mall of the Emirates -- You can stay in Dubai and largely avoid the desert heat. But staying at the Kempinski Hotel Mall of the Emirates takes cool to a different level. The hotel has installed new "Aspen Chalets" backing on to the indoor artificial slopes of Ski Dubai.

Ski Dubai has became a symbol of the city's geography-defying ambition. Its piste is 279 feet high and 1,312 feet long, but it's about to be trumped by the Meydan One project -- also in Dubai -- featuring a 3,937 feet long ski slope.

The Underwater Suite at Atlantis, The Palm -- The Underwater Suite at Atlantis, The Palm is not the first hotel room in the world to give you a fish eye view. And if you want a real ocean experience in Dubai, there's the Floating Seahorse villa coming to The World archipelago. But the suites at The Atlantis are perhaps the gigantic hotel's most famous feature.
