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.

Ultra luxury, excellent service from start to finish. Staff went above and beyond to assist you. The club lounge hospitality was outstanding, arguably the best club lounge we have ever stayed in, the staff were very helpful and professional Jane the manager and her team couldn’t do enough for us. Breakfast was amazing, afternoon tea and evening canapés always on point. There was oysters and caviar on most evenings and that put a big smile on my 7 years face as it’s some of her favourites, my 2 young kids were well catered for and looked after by the team. Kids club is amazing. Team are very friendly and welcoming. A very special thank you to Elizabeth, always polite with a friendly smile. Massive thank to the team at the clinic, my daughter was ill with stomach pain and the doctor prescribed her some drugs which were taken to the pharmacy at the Atlantis palm to be dispensed and was delivered to our room within 2 hours. We can’t wait to return, we are planning to spend our Christmas at the Atlantis Royal. Read less

Crafted By The World's Leading Designers, Architects & Artists. Suites & Penthouses Fuse Stylish Interiors With Private Terraces & Infinity Pools. Skyblaze Fountain. Had been for a family dinner at their restaurant Gastronomy and was amazed at the decor, decoration, arrangement, furniture, carpets, chandeliers which were all a touch of class that signified luxury at the highest level. It needs class to spell class and everything there amazed me and I was extremely impressed ! Dr. Javed Rasheed Read less

Expectations of this hotel are set very high by the hotel, not by me, but they were not met. For the record I have visited 58 countries so I am not a novice. Check in took 15-20 mins.

Expectations of this hotel are set very high by the hotel, not by me, but they were not met. For the record I have visited 58 countries so I am not a novice. Check in took 15-20 mins. Luggage arrived one hour after checkin. This was at 5:30am so not busy but it was for 2 rooms. Both rooms not cleaned for two days until we rang and asked. No, the do not disturb sign was NOT on. Takes forever to get a cup of tea in the foyer coffee shop, and the milk arrives 40 minutes later. We left for 2 days, we were coming back, and made arrangements to leave the majority of our luggage. You would swear you were asking them to give up their only child. The mini bar in one room had not been topped up and they tried to say it was us who used it. For the record, they did accept our protests of innocence. We had only arrived 10 minutes before. It’s a shame this and other problems happened, I could go on, because it is such a magnificent place and all of the eateries were excellent. I was happy to pay the price for a 5 star hotel but I didnt get it. We believed the advertising but it didnt measure up. So disappointing. We went to Abu Dhabi for the 2 days mentioned and it was a fabulous experience from beginning to end. Read less

From the moment you enter this holiday, you know you are in for a luxurious experience. We arrived ago 8am but were offered an early check once the room was available. We were immediately guided to the Gastronomy restaurant, where we had an overwhelming choice of breakfast options, with the most wonderful view. We had booked a Club Royal room, which allowed us access to the Club Lounge, so we were allowed immediate access to the area to refresh but upon checking in there, we were told our room was already available! I would totally recommend booking a Club Royal room as the views and the room itself are just breathtaking. Our luggage was already in the room when we arrived there. The hotel is impeccably clean and polished at all times. The aquarium walls and artwork in the reception area are just magnificent as is the daily fountain show, which is a spectacle in its own right, being shown every hour daily and every 30 minutes in the evening accompanied by wonderful music compositions. Nobu by the beach is a must if you want to chill and unwind by their beautiful pools, service is superb. A highlight for us was the Club Lounge, Wines, champagnes, spirits and cocktails are available all day and staff constantly top up your glass within minutes of finishing one! They even make a cocktail of your liking if you need something not on the menu. Breakfast is available daily as is afternoon tea from 3-5pm, which varies daily but always an amazing spread to choose from. There are canapés and a meal choice from 6-8pm every day and the food was just phenomenal and always served quickly and to your liking. The staff within the Royal Club were just amazing. Always there to attend to your every need, with a smile and conversation each time.. It was a pleasure to see them each time we entered the club, nothing at all was too much trouble. Particular thanks go to Rajith, who was always available to help and ensured my husbands wallet was returned to him immediately after he had left in on a chair in the lounge. This is a wonderful hotel - it is a a luxurious building with wonderful staff! If you get the chance to experience here, you definitely should go! Read less
