The emirate of Dubai is well-known for its tall structures and huge shopping malls, but it also has a number of world-famous recreational attractions. Atlantis the Palm, a premium seaside resort that put Palm Jumeirah on the world hospitality map, is one of Dubai’s most well-known constructions, rivalling the renowned Burj Khalifa and The Dubai Mall in popularity.
Architecture:
The building of Atlantis the Palm Dubai began in 2006, and the spectacular structure took about two years to finish. Since September 2008, when Atlantis first opened its doors to the public, it hasn’t looked back. Over the last ten years, there has been a significant increase in the number of women in the workforce. The Atlantis the Palm has earned countless honours and continues to be one of the city’s most sought-after hotels.
This ocean-themed resort hotel, located on the Crescent of the famous man-made island of Palm Jumeirah, is the crown jewel of the island and an iconic holiday destination, enjoyed by travellers from all over the world. Atlantis was created in a unique way. Palm Jumeirah is based on Plato’s Atlantis mythological metropolis, complete with lovely odes to the antique city in the shape of fossilised shells and semi-precious stones. The resort was designed by Wimberly, Allison, Tong and Goo (WATG), an internationally renowned architectural firm, and has classic Arabian architecture with two main towers: East Tower and West Tower, which are connected by the Royal Bridge Suite.
The Elegant Artwork:
With its distinctive hand-painted murals and exquisite Arabesque designs, the iconic hotel’s foyer is a visual feast. Albino Gonzalez, a Spanish artist, created eight captivating murals in the lobby. These masterpieces tell the storey of Atlantis, the lost city.
Other captivating murals by renowned international painters such as Charley Brown and Mark Evans from San Francisco can also be found at Atlantis. While these artistic paintings contribute to the breath-taking atmosphere of Atlantis The Palm, it is the central glass sculpture by American artist Dale Chihuly, which is made up of 3,000 glass pieces coloured in a variety of hues, that will take your breath away!
