Dubai’s fanciest new hotel took seven years and $2 billion dollars to construct, opening in spectacular fashion earlier this year (with a Beyonce concert and fireworks). But it wasn’t just this that blew our minds. The design is spectacular. To get the down low on what goes into creating a masterpiece like this, DMARGE sat down with some of the architects behind Atlantis The Royal and had a good old chinwag.
Dubai’s Atlantis The Royal is the height of luxury. But it’s not some faddish facade capturing this decade’s zeitgeist and nothing more. Nor is it a purely business-y offering like the Marriot.
