hyperbolic hotels
Let's look at some examples of this eagerness to impress.
THE TALLEST HOTEL IN THE WORLD
It is only 26 meters lower than the Empire State, for comparison. His height is 355 meters . This **Marquis Marriott Dubai**, has just opened in another act of hotel hubris. It is not exactly a secluded hotel. It has 1608 rooms . The number of rooms is another Dubai obsession: the more the better.

A HOTEL IN THE TALLEST BUILDING IN THE WORLD
The Armani Hotel is in the tallest building in the world: the Burj Khalifa . It measures 828 meters; the Empire State measures 381 and the Petronas Towers 452. We get an idea, right? I believe that this is very high. The interior is fabulous, with a very discreet Armani stamp. The views contrast with the austerity: they are a cross between Los Monegros, Las Vegas and the Caribbean.

THE UNDERGROUND HOTEL
If the Marriott is the tallest hotel in the world, the Hydropolis Underwater Hotel and Resort Dubai it can be considered the most sunken. is under construction and part of its structure will be submerged in the waters of the Persian Gulf . It will be located in The Palm, that complex of artificial islands so photographed . It has, of course, 1,539 rooms, of which 220 suites will be underwater. Its surface, a new hyperbole, is 260 hectares, about like hyde park . It seems that in Dubai the motto is: “if it's done, it's done”. Needless to say, the hotel is a delusion.

THE MOST LUXURY HOTEL IN THE WORLD
Not five, not six, the burj al arab , from Jumeirah, has seven stars, yes, we are not sure who or how they are counted. Much has been written about this hotel: What if they charge just to enter the lobby , that Nadal played a game of tennis on his heliport... Each floor has its own private reception, there are Rolls-Royces and go-go butlers at guests' disposal. The last detail is that when checking in, customers receive a virtual concierge in the form of a gold iPad. We repeat: a gold iPad . It is made by the company Gold&Co and can only be used in the hotel. Years after its opening, this hotel being an absolute extravagance and the witness of a time and a place.

CRAZY POOLS
For the rest, in Dubai the hotels do not have a simple rectangular swimming pool, as in the rest of the world. Over there they are endless, with waterfalls, various levels, at the top of the hotels... all at once . The pool at The Address Downtown is an example of this inability of the Dubai to be contained. It's a fabulous pool, by the way.
OVERALL BREAKFAST
The same goes for breakfast. Some simple scrambled eggs with fruit and coffee? Please, that's for the rest of the world. Here, the norm is galore breakfasts. In the buffets you can find the table dedicated to Indian, Chinese, Japanese, Western, local cuisine. Even if you stay at the Grand Hyatt, you can have donkey milk for breakfast.
And to think that there are people who continue to defend that there is nothing to see in Dubai. Perhaps a small rural hotel is more entertaining?
