I can understand Emirates Palace offering up something so extravagant - the country has a crazy number of millionaires, as does the region - but I can't see how many people are going to check in to Sydney's Hilton for a mil! I have to say I have stayed at Emirates Palace (a perk of the job) and it is extremely opulent, as you'd expect, but I don't think it's over-the-top to the point of being ugly as the Burj Al Arab interior is in Dubai (although the exterior is very sexy). Emirates Palace has the best hotel breakfast buffet in the world, as well as the stunning restaurant-bar-club, The Embassy (yep, same owners as its exclusive sister rest-bar-club in London). Also, it's about 30 minutes from Abu Dhabi's airport (not UAE airport) although Abu Dhabi is the UAE capital (not Dubai, as most people think), so you're not too far off. :) Abu Dhabi is a lovely city, by the way - I lived there for 5 years.
