Atlantis The Royal

Star rating

The hotel

The new iconic landmark in Dubai is here, and it’s unlike any other hotel you’ve seen before. If you thought Atlantis, The Palm was impressive (and we agree it is!), then this addition to the Atlantis portfolio will redefine your perspective of luxury and innovation. Atlantis The Royal is where impossible becomes possible, and luxury mixes with experience, challenging the boundaries of imagination. It’s all about space, natural sunlight and feeling like you can quite literally reach the clouds. Speaking of clouds, Cloud 22 brings you a rooftop pool club that’s on another level, literally! Book a private cabana with your own plunge pool, and enjoy an exquisite cocktail with even better views as the sun moves across the horizon and the music goes up a notch. The alluring design of the hotel ensures complete privacy in all room types, 44 of which are available with private infinity pools. On arrival, the magnificent lobby is designed around the 4 natural elements, as you’re welcomed by Droplets, the towering lobby sculpture inspired by the first drop of rain in the desert. And whilst the hotel is full of striking features, bespoke artwork, and large aquariums, it’s the little touches that will also take your breath away. Your bed will be separated from the bathroom by a glass wall that frosts over at a single touch. From your balcony the views across The Palm and Dubai’s skyline are exquisite, but ultimately you won’t need to venture that far with the endless lists of fun, food and frolics on offer here! 17 restaurants each tell their own story, AWAKEN Wellness will have you revitalised in no time, and the nightlife will have you dancing until the early hours. From fountain shows to fire shows, one of the largest jellyfish tanks you’ll ever see, and waterslides galore, Atlantis The Royal is the place where something incredible happens at every minute.

Me and my family had the best time at the Royal Atlantis. The Royal Club Lounge was absolutely amazing all due to the amazing staff The manager Amer and the number 1 waiter Rana they go above and beyond to make you feel at home there. They are a true credit to the hotel and we are already booked to come back thanks again.

It is my 5th stay at Atlantis the Royal. It feels like coming home. Already at the airport counter, the warm and helpful way Ganesh and Rose will assist you, and in the hotel itself there are so many employees we know by now. The team at Ariana’s and Ling Ling is one of a kind. We always visit both restaurants. The food quality is incredible. Also, I have stayed at Atlantis the Palm 3 times and I definitely prefer the Royal. Breakfast until 12 and I never had to wait in line also when coming late. I love the decor of the rooms and how bright they are. We prefer the palm and skyline view, but having the sea in front of you is also beautiful and calming. Even though I’d like to try other hotels in Dubai I keep ending up here. I have everything I need. I like to maintain a healthy lifestyle and flawless hospitality, so this place suits my needs. I come with my partner or my kid or several family members, it’s always amazing. Read less

I haven’t stayed at this hotel as a proper guest, but I definitely will one day! I stayed at Atlantis the Palm, and sometimes I took the minibus to the Royal during the evenings. This hotel looks absolutely stunning during the evening and it’s just amazing! This was my first time visiting both hotels, and I can definitely see the difference between the two. (Good ones, of course)! Every evening from 7-10.35pm (I think), there is a fountain show that takes place every 30 mins. They are absolutely gorgeous! This fountain show is 100x better than the ones outside the Burj Khalifa + Dubai Mall! Everything is lit up in different colours and there are even real flames used! We sat down on some chairs while watching it and it was a lovely show! We took a small walk around the hotel to see how everything was laid out. Some security there are nice but some are also very firm. There is a small shopping lane with designer brands such as LV, Valentino and D&G. There are also waterfalls everywhere within the hotel, and they are very soothing. We also walked to the beach and near the Royal pool and I just love how everything is so quiet and peaceful. Overall, this hotel is very relaxing and I would love to stay here someday!! 🤍🤍🤍 Read less
