Do you know where the most expensive hotel in the world is? There is actually only one answer to this question: in Dubai. Burj Khalifa Hotel in Dubai. Dubai is the second largest city in the United Arab Emirates. In the 1950s, it was a simple seaside town in the Arabian Gulf. After the 1990s, Dubai experienced a complete transformation. Rows of skyscrapers miraculously stand on the banks of the Hall River, making people feel like they are in new york. Like other cities in the Middle East, Dubai is rich in oil. But for an ambitious new city, if you want to show your talents in the new century, oil is definitely not all. It opened the door and vigorously developed tourism. Due to its high-quality environment and rich culture (because 80% of the population are foreigners), most tourists to Dubai are high-income classes such as models, artists and businessmen. At the suggestion of the Crown Prince of Dubai, the famous entrepreneur Allermark Toum invested in the beautiful Burj Al Arab Hotel. Some people say that UAE people are good at dreaming, and their wallets full of dollars can always realize their dreams. Boci Hotel in Dubai is a typical example. Splendid and luxurious, it exceeds the star level of existing hotels in the world, and the outside world simply evaluates it as "seven stars". The reporter has stayed in many world-famous hotels, but the publicity personality of BOC International Hotel left me with the most unforgettable shock. Photo: The "Sky Tennis Court" on the roof of the hotel is scheduled to arrive in Dubai three years later, more than 300 meters above the ground. The first place the reporter will go is this city which is said to be made of gold. Boci Hotel (meaning Burj Khalifa) was built in 1994. The hotel is built on an artificial island 280 meters offshore, with a total of 56 floors. The crescent-shaped outline shows a strong Islamic style. From a distance, it looks like a sailboat full of sea breeze. The building height is 32 1 m. I guess it must be compared with the Eiffel Tower (320.7 meters high). On the day of the visit, the reporter was so thirsty that he had to buy a bottle of mineral water at the Boqi Hotel and pay 20 dirhams (about RMB 42 yuan). A Dubai friend who accompanied the reporter said: "Ordinary people who don't have high demands on sleep and diet will definitely not spend a lot of money to stay here. When it is hottest, hotel room reservations will be delayed for three years." In the past, if you had a friend who was a member of the hotel club, you could ask him to take you into the hotel for free. However, if you want to enter the hotel gate, you have to buy a ticket, which is per person 100 dirhams (about 2 10 yuan RMB), and the holiday price is doubled. Unlike the pure white coat outside the hotel, Boci's interior is extremely luxurious. When I walked into the gate and the huge "palace" appeared in front of me, I suddenly felt puzzled. Maybe brilliant things always give people a sense of oppression. It is said that in Boqi, anything that is judged as golden by the eyes must be gold. The big pillars in the hall are as small as doorknobs, furniture handles, faucets, telephones, etc. They are all elegant gold decorations, so that when the reporter saw the gold-plated message paper, he didn't have a strong feeling. It is said that the hotel decoration cost 30 tons. If it is true, excluding the consumption of public parts such as lobby and restaurant, the gold content of each room is at least tens of kilograms. From the airport to the hotel by helicopter, for a desert city, the water is much more than that of Huang Jingui, but there is no embarrassment of water shortage in Boqi Hotel. Under the golden faucet, there are abundant green plants everywhere, and the huge water column spewing out from the open-air fountain shows reporters what is richness and flow. According to a friend in Dubai, 250 piles have been driven to a depth of 40 meters to ensure the foundation of the hotel is stable. These facts make people wonder: How much did it cost to build this hotel? Unfortunately, no exact figures have been disclosed so far. The interior of the guest room is very luxurious. According to a friend in Dubai, as soon as guests leave Dubai International Airport, the hotel offers two "luxury choices": taking a Rolls-Royce limousine or taking a helicopter. If you fly there, you can have a bird's eye view of Dubai from the sky during the flight of 15 minutes, and then slowly land on the helipad on the 28th floor of the hotel. Of course, this kind of high-end enjoyment comes at a high price. On the roof of the hotel, there is also a unique "Sky Tennis Court" in the world, which is converted from a helipad and is more than 300 meters above the ground. Famous tennis players Federer and Agassi played a friendly match here to prepare for the Dubai Men's Tennis Open. Since the Bank of China International Hotel is called "seven-star", the house price is of course extraordinary. The reporter saw the advertised price in the hotel: 900 dollars per day for a standard room and 18000 dollars per day for a royal suite. In fact, this is the lowest price in the off-season, and this price often fails to book a room. According to the latest quotation, the lowest house price in the fourth quarter is $65,438+0,400. It is hard to find a room on the night of leaving the old year and welcoming the new year, and the house price is as high as $3,775. In other words, spending 30,000 RMB can witness the dawn of 2008 in Dubai. Although the hotel is expensive, the tourists are still enthusiastic. "Not afraid of high prices, but afraid of poor goods", this famous business saying has been confirmed again in Dubai. The hotel loves to recruit China employees and allows journalists to visit the hotel. BOC International has 202 rooms, all of which are two-story duplex structures. The minimum room area is 170 square meters. As soon as I entered the door, a staff member took out a super remote control to show the reporter. It turns out that this remote control can control doors, curtains, TV, DVD and many other facilities. However, I feel that the interface is quite complicated and difficult to operate. The reporter also accidentally found that the clock "hanging" on the wall is not a physical object, but a projection, but the time display is not bad. Projection itself is not unusual, but it is just right for the modern atmosphere in the room. The royal suite is horribly big, with 780 square meters. When expanded, it is equivalent to two basketball courts. The equipment in the suite is even more amazing. There is a private elevator and swimming pool. The furnishings in the room are treasures from all over the world, and the bed can be rotated. Surprisingly, a large mirror is installed on the ceiling of the bedroom, which can reflect the appearance of the bed. Bank of China International Hotel has about 1000 or 2000 employees, with Filipinos the most, followed by Indians. It is difficult to meet a Dubai native at the hotel service level. "Dubai locals are too rich to work in the service industry." A hotel service staff told reporters. According to him, there are dozens of China people working in hotels. An important reason for recruiting so many China employees is that China is rich in human resources, and more and more China people are spending money in Dubai.
