Jumeirah, a global leader in luxury hospitality and a member of Dubai Holding, is commemorating the 25th anniversary of Jumeirah Burj Al Arab on December 1st, 2024. Since its inception in 1999, the hotel has revolutionized luxury hospitality in the UAE, with its iconic dhow sail-shaped structure becoming a universally recognized emblem of tourism excellence. Jumeirah Burj Al Arab continues to attract visitors worldwide, offering an unmatched blend of personalized luxury, extraordinary experiences, and the genuine warmth of Arabian hospitality.
The 25th anniversary of Jumeirah Burj Al Arab signifies a significant milestone for the brand. Following the introduction of a new visual identity earlier this year, Jumeirah is poised for future growth, both regionally and internationally, focusing on key cities and resort destinations while reinforcing its status as a pioneering force in the luxury hospitality sector. Recent announcements include new properties such as Jumeirah Red Sea in Saudi Arabia, Jumeirah Marsa Al Arab in the UAE, and Jumeirah Le Richemond Geneva in Switzerland.
Thomas Meier, Chief Operating Officer and Interim Chief Executive Officer, remarked on the anniversary: “As we mark 25 years since the opening of the iconic Jumeirah Burj Al Arab, we honor our legacy of excellence in luxury hospitality, deeply rooted in the warmth and generosity of Arabian culture. Our vision is to create not just beautiful destinations but spaces for global connection. As we expand internationally, we will carry forward the same innovative spirit that has defined our industry. Our properties will remain global meeting places, offering unique opportunities for cultural exchange that Jumeirah is known for.”
For 25 years, Jumeirah Burj Al Arab has mesmerized the world with spectacular events and daring feats that have challenged expectations and imagination. The hotel’s helipad has been the stage for numerous adrenaline-pumping achievements, such as His Excellency Nasser Al Neyadi’s historic skydive landing in 2013. It has also witnessed high-profile sporting events, including Andre Agassi and Roger Federer’s tennis match in 2005, and Anthony Joshua and Seb Eubank’s sky-high boxing bout in 2017. More recently, the helipad hosted David Guetta’s 2021 DJ set as part of his United at Home series, raising funds for UNICEF and Dubai Cares.
Jumeirah Burj Al Arab maintains unparalleled standards of personalized luxury, from butler services for every suite to its exclusive fleet of Rolls Royce cars. The Skyview Bar once offered the world’s most expensive cocktail, the 27.321, priced at Dh27,321. Beyond its lavish offerings, the hotel plays a crucial role in Jumeirah’s environmental initiatives. The Dubai Turtle Rehabilitation Project, located at the hotel, has rescued and rehabilitated thousands of critically endangered turtles, contributing to Jumeirah’s ongoing ocean conservation efforts.
