Burj Al Arab makes a grand entrance to the prestigious Condé Nast Traveler Platinum Circle

Dubai, 24 December 2013: Burj Al Arab has entered the elite Condé Nast Traveler Platinum Circle after earning top honours on the annual Condé Nast Traveler Gold List for five years in a row. The prestigious list, based on the feedback of nearly 80,000 discerning travelers, recognises the world's best hotels.

This year, the hotel achieved an overall score of 94.2 out of 100, while its rooms and activities both scored perfect 100s. Burj Al Arab is described as making guests "feel like a sheikh in your own palace." and providing service to fulfill "every wish and then some."

"We are delighted and honoured to be part of the esteemed Platinum Circle", said Heinrich Morio, Burj Al Arab's General Manager. "This kind of recognition serves as a source of inspiration and shows that we are still the preferred choice for many travellers visiting the United Arab Emirates."
