AT THE APEX of Dubai’s Palm Jumeirah, a hulking new edifice has appeared. The $1.4-billion hotel-and-residence combo dubbed Atlantis Royal has been 14 years in the making. READ:
The 43-storey, 87,097-square-meter construction sits next door to its iconic family-friendly sibling, the Palm, and looks like an architectural blend between a Jenga game and the Millennium Falcon. Its futuristic curves and sky gardens offer sweeping vistas of the Persian Gulf from 795 guest rooms and 231 apartments.
Swooping in for the rescue came the Investment Corp. of Dubai , the emirate’s sovereign wealth fund. Since taking over construction in 2016, it’s considered Atlantis Royal a lynchpin in the overall strategy to grow Dubai’s tourism scene by focusing less on families and more on partygoing singles. Particularly in the 25-44 age group, these have been tracked by Emirates Airlines as a fast-growing demographic in recent years, particularly since COVID-19 struck.
Most restaurants will be on the ground floor, including a branch of Andrés’s Spanish tapas spot Jaleo, a classic sushi entry from Nobu Matsuhisa, and an offshoot of Heston Blumenthal’s experimental flagship in London, Dinner. Additional spots will carry more regional name recognition, such as Ariana’s Persian Kitchen, whose namesake proprietor Ariana Bundy has a popular cooking show that airs throughout Asia and the Middle East.

I did find it surprisingly calming to look at some of the art already in the lobby, including a 11.5-meter-tall, 5.
