Emirates Palace

Another luxury hotel, but located in Abu Dhabi. A very modern hotel, but still built with the intention of showing true Arabian culture. The hotel is located right on a beach that is 1.3 km long. The hotel is also surrounded by 85 hectares of gardens. In the process of making this incredibly expensive building, no details were missing. The international superstar architecture firm WATG, that specialises in luxury hotels, were responsible for the design. The Emirates Palace is owned by the government of Abu Dhabi, but Kempinski takes care of the management. When built, this was the second most expensive building in the world.
