No one does larger than life like Dubai. It is in the West Asian desert city’s very DNA. Naturally, this more-is-more aesthetic is mirrored in some of the city’s most luxurious hotels, including Atlantis The Roya.
Yes, the same hotel whose launch party last year pulled in a crowd of international A-listers including Beyoncé, Kendall Jenner, Gauri Khan, Jay-Z, Ashley Park, and Farhan Akhtar. Situated right next to its older sister Atlantis The Palm, this 795-key mega-resort with its futuristic architecture and smorgasbord of offerings is as sleek, sexy and glossy as they come. Not only can you dine at its 17 restaurants (including Nobu by the Beach, and outposts by celebrity chefs like José Andrés and Gastón Acurio) and swim in its 90 pools, but indulge in a glamorous dose of fashion as well.
Many luxury hotels have luxury boutiques located inside the property. For starters, the hotel is home to 13 uber luxury stores including Valentino, Louis Vuitton and Graff. The summer also saw the property host a unique collaboration with Louis Vuitton where six three-metre-tall figurines of the Parisian brand’s mascot, Vivienne — wooden dolls with their head fashioned after the brand’s monogrammed flower — were spread across the sprawling premises.
Specially crafted in Dubai, they are kitted out with an exciting AR experience that marries fashion, fantasy, and technology. Hotel guests are also gifted limited edition LV trunk stickers that are exclusive to the property.
