As the recession spirit grips hoteliers all around the world, with “cheap chic” and “rough luxe” becoming watchwords in London, Paris and New York, the die-hard luxury hound in search of a hit of the pure stuff is left with fewer and fewer options. Fortunately they’ll always have Dubai, the one city where the gilt edge has yet to wear off.

Dubai’s comparative advantage is in the area of five, six- and seven-star opulence, and in these tough times their hoteliers are sticking to their strengths.The daddy of them all is of course the towering Burj Al Arab.
