Suspended 212 meters above sea level, the Burj al Arab's helipad juts out precariously from the distinctive sail shape of the building
Editor's Note — CNN's series often carry sponsorship originating from the countries and regions we profile. However, CNN retains full editorial control over all of its reports.The finance and construction industries had yet to rumble into high gear. The city had yet to establish itself as a destination for the rich and powerful.
The Burj al Arab opened its doors in 1999, and in the following two decades became a magnet for the global elite. The hotel is now a byword for the height of luxury from its palatial suites to rare sharks housed in the aquarium.Suspended 212 meters above sea level, the hotel's helipad juts out precariously from the distinctive sail shape of the building.
"The helipad had to meet both structural and safe landing criteria," says Crispe."It needed to 'float' visually and we only wanted a minimal visible supporting steelwork."
