Subject to correction I can tell you that this is in the

Burj Al Arab Hotel, in Dubai.  Probably one of the most expensive hotels in the World.  Fantastic palatial accommodation, and everything else to match.  Tea is served in the Skyview Bar which as the name implies is near the top of the building with great views.    :D

Burj al Arab?  Yes... I believe that when it was first opened, it was the worlds only SEVEN STAR hotel.

It was followed (I think) by two more.

I have always wondered what type of service and quality that rating got you for your money.
Sadly, at £14,000 per night room rate, I am most unlikely to ever find out!

Correct answer! The new owners have turned what was once a near derelict house into a stunning mansion.

Sorry Yorkie but it's further west.    The photo was taken from an unusual angle!

The photo looks like it might have been taken looking upwards so it coiled be the underside of a road bridge. Menai Suspension Bridge possibly?

                Is it the underside of the raised section of the Rhuddlan Bypass where the  path/cyclepath from Rhuddlan to Rhyl passes underneath beside the Afon Clwyd?

It is the underside of something but this is what the Menai Suspension Bridge looks like from below.

I was in Gwynedd when I first saw it years ago!
