Atlantis The Royal in Dubai

The epitome of luxury? Atlantis The Royal. The $1.5 billion investment in Dubai impresses on every level, literally and figuratively.

Atlantis The Royal is the second hotel in Dubai inspired by the mythical Atlantis and by Arabian culture, following Atlantis, The Palm, which opened in 2008. This joint effort of an international group of visionaries, including master architects Kohn Pedersen Fox Associates from New York, renowned interior designer Sybille de Margerie from Paris and innovative water installation artists WET Design from California, encourages a redefinition of the word “luxury”.

Aesthetically speaking, The Royal merges the traditional form of the neighbouring Palm with Dubai’s modern architecture. The 387,097 sqm complex comprises six buildings connected by a 90-metre skybridge with a luxury penthouse called The Royal Mansion, a pool and views of The Palm and of the Arabian Gulf.

Rawlplug is proud of its contribution to such an impressive investment. A number of our products were used to build Atlantis The Royal, including: R-KEXII 600 (post-installation reinforcement anchoring), R-KEXII/R-KERII with R-Studs, R-XPT (bonded and mechanical anchors used to install steel structures in the lobby), R-HPTII A4 M12 (mechanical anchoring during installation of GRC decorative facades), as well as R-HPTII ZF and R-LX (mechanical anchoring of the exterior facade).

At The Royal, which is already in operation, guests can choose from 17 restaurants helmed by renowned chefs, a 3,000 sqm wellness centre and a lobby with one of the world’s largest water tanks, filled with thousands of marine creatures. Anything else we could possibly add? The grand opening of The Royal featured a drone and firework show, as well as a performance by Beyoncé, who reportedly raked in around $24 million for singing some of her smash hits, breaking every record in the history of fees for one-shot private concerts.
