Therefore, stop by one of these machines day or night if you suddenly realise you need a gift for someone, maybe even yourself!

10. The Burj Al Arab

The renowned seven-star hotel in Dubai is situated on a man-made island. Staying in one of its opulent suites for the night might cost you more than $24,000. With its sail-like design, the Burj Al Arab commands the skyline and is a symbol of contemporary Dubai. Often regarded as the only "7-star" hotel in the world, the Burj Al Arab is located on a private island that is bridge-accessible. The lavish furnishings of the hotel include luxury suites with Hermes toiletries and a 180,000-square-foot lobby covered in gold.

While its Royal Suite costs more than $24,000 per night, a one-night stay starts at about $2,000. The roughly 10,000-square-foot, two-story Royal Suite has a massage room, library, lounge, personal butler, and four poster beds that rotate. Luxury in Dubai was redefined by the Burj Al Arab's extravagant amenities and high levels of customer care. Though many travellers may find its expenses prohibitive, even a little stay for tea or cocktails gives an insight into its unearthly grandeur.
