Despite its size, the Burj Al Arab has only 28 double-story floors with 202 bedroom suites. The smallest suite occupies an area of 169 square meters (1,819 square ft), the largest covers 780 square meters (8,396 square ft). It is also one of the most expensive hotels in the world. The cost of staying in a suite begins at $1,000 per night and increases to over $15,000 per night; the Royal Suite is the most expensive, at $28,000 per night.
Suites feature design details that juxtapose east and west. White Tuscan columns and a spiral staircase covered in marble with a wrought-iron gold leaf railing show influence from classicism and art nouveau. Spa-like bathrooms are accented by mosaic tile patterns on the floors and walls, with Arabian-influenced geometries, which are also found elsewhere in the building.

That sounds like an awesome hotel. I was wondering what materials were used that made the rate of the rooms so high? It looks like gold in some cases...?
The rooms are really expensive because of the individual features and facilities.Besides, the gold furnishings and fittings are original 22 carat gold leaf.
