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.

We loved the Royal! The room is spacious and all the amenities and restaurants are amazing. We had great food. The breakfast buffet was a dream! The kids club and quick access to the waterpark were a plus. Christian aka Zoombie banana was a favorite. They kept wanting to go back.

I want to leave my review for an unforgettable vacation at the Atlantis Royal Hotel! We had a family vacation from April 20 to April 27. This was our first time in this hotel. I really liked the infrastructure of the complex, the organization of leisure time and the varied food in the restaurant. The fountains on site are beautiful! I would like to say a special thank you to Chancellor Viktor from Ukraine, who very easily found an approach to our daughter! The child was delighted, she really liked the Kids Club and didn’t want to leave) This hotel, its staff, the warm sea, all this left warm memories in our hearts! I'm sure we will come back here again :-) Read less

Awesome hotel. This hotel is just wow. Beautiful grounds and very clean. Huge pool areas and the water park is fantastic. The breakfast buffet is huge and one of the best I’ve seen. The food was excellent at all the hb eateries. The only downfall is how busy it is all the time due to been a major tourist attraction.

Wow what an amazing experience at this amazing hotel I had with my family! We stayed from 17th April to the 21st April. Upon arrival you would expect a warm welcome to a hotel of this standard and they didn’t disappoint. Nikita did a seamless check in while family waited at the luxurious lounge area. We had requested 2 rooms next to one another and of course that’s only subject to availability and as the hotel was at full capacity sadly they didn’t have the rooms next to one another but no problem as we checked in to our room, it more than made up for it. Once we checked in we got a very welcoming cal from one of the manger, Her was Sara, I was so impressed at the welcoming especially someone like my self with hospitality background, I was blown away by the level of service at this hotel! To my surprise Sara had upgraded us to an amazing interconnected family room upon finding out about my daughters 21 st Birthday! We we’re happy in our original room but this was one classy touch by classy hotel. Thank you Sara for your kind hospitality 🙏🏼 Thank you to the room keeping team, you guys were amazing. I’m trying my best to keep this review short but I’m struggling, such was the level of service at this hotel. From security team to the waiting staff at the restaurant, they are so helpful and courteous. The restaurants were out of this world! We went on a half board and we experienced first time fine dining buffet Breakfast and Dinner at Gastronomy, what a restaurant, what amazing staff in that place, the chefs are unbelievably highly skilled Had such laugh with these guys, Elements lounge, the dancing fountain, omg the evenings were just amazing, this place oozes class, there is a sense of seduction by this place. Ling Ling, Nobu by Beach and rest of the restaurant’s were amazing too. Overall I would give this place 10/11 and I must say it is also great value for money. Thank you Atlantis Royal, we can’t wait to visit you in October. Read less
