ATLANTIS THE ROYAL DUBAI
DUBAI
P
erhaps no other destination in the world does over-the-top decadence better than Dubai . And , in our estimation , no hotel in Dubai does it better than Atlantis The Royal Dubai , a 795-room Tetris-like hotel , which does luxury at scale . Consider its voluminous offerings : 17 restaurants and bars , including eight celebrity-chef-driven restaurants by the likes of Heston Blumenthal and José Andrés ; five signature penthouses , including the 11,000-square-foot Royal Mansion , a two-level dreamhouse that can go for $ 100k per night , with features such as a private foyer , 100-year-old olive trees and its own infinity pool ; and , if that ’ s not enough excess , Atlantis The Royal Dubai features Atlantis Aquaventure , the largest waterpark in the world . The hotel is brand-spanking new , having opened in February 2023 by none other than Beyoncé , who performed . Atlantis The Royal is set on Palm Jumeirah , the notable palm-tree-shaped , man-made island , and was designed by New York architecture firm Kohn Pedersen Fox . And while it has a sister just across the way in Atlantis The Palm , this iteration is decidedly more modern in feel and aesthetic .
WE ARE HONORED AND DELIGHTED TO HAVE ATLANTIS THE ROYAL FEATURED IN HOTELS MAGAZINE ’ S “ 25X25 TOP HOTELS OF THE WORLD ” LIST . THIS RECOGNITION REFLECTS THE EXCEPTIONAL DEDICATION AND HARD WORK OF ALL OUR COLLEAGUES TO DELIVER EXTRAORDINARY SERVICE FROM DAY ONE .
