Atlantis rises in Dubai
The $1.5 billion Atlantis – The Palm, located at the head of The Palm Jumeirah in Dubai, is on schedule to open on September 24.
Jim Boocher, president of development at Kerzner International, managers of Atlantis, said the difference between Atlantis and other hotels was that it was a “destination hotel”, not simply a holiday hotel.
Atlantis has 1,539 rooms spread between the East and West towers. There are a total of 150 suites, including two presidential suites and 35 regal suites.
Average prices start at around $454 per night. A connecting bridge between the two towers is the 924-sqm Bridge Suite, which costs $25,000 a night.
Sol Kerzner, chairman and chief executive of Kerzner International, said Atlantis was “all about the ocean”.
A 17-hectare Aquaventure waterpark will feature the tallest freefall slide in the Middle East.
Within the development Dolphin Bay will be home to 28 dolphins brought to Dubai from the Solomon Islands.
