The Royal Atlantis Resort and Residences will serve as an expansion to the already incredible Atlantis, The Palm that is located on one of those manmade islands in Dubai. The hotel will be 46-stories tall and it obviously features an extremely unique design that the New York firm known as Kohn Pedersen Fox Associates came up with. It will offer 800 rooms, 250 apartments/condos, and all of the luxury amenities that you could ever want. I mean, it’s in Dubai so obviously it will be extremely luxurious when it opens up sometime in 2017.
