A little more perspective
Jumeirah’s hotel overview gives a height of 321 meters. That describes the whole hotel silhouette; the projecting helipad and the upper occupied floors do not define the highest point.
The catalog’s 322.5-meter Q1 Tower is 1.5 meters higher. Burj Al Arab’s broad white sail can look larger in an isolated image, which is why the common baseline and the complete spire matter more than the amount of facade on screen.
