Dubai’s Atlantis Hotel, By the Numbers

blackbookmag.com

The Atlantis, or more properly "Atlantis The Palm," officially opens September 24. Set on the Palm Jumeirah -- one of Dubai's artificial sand atolls -- it has a few things going for it.

● 1,539 rooms
● 27,000 square feet of designer shopping
● 100 feet vertical dive at the Ziggurat water-park ride
● 28 bottle-nose dolphins on the "grounds"
● 65,000 fish in the underwater labyrinths
● 27 spa treatment rooms
● 1 restaurant transplanted from New York’s Tribeca neighborhood (that would be Nobu, of course)
● 43 days before Atlantis officially opens, though they’re taking reservations now

FIRE BREAK in Dubai @ Atlantis Hotel

Again, for the thousand time…….. FIRE BREAK in Dubai !!!
This time in a hotel. Atlantis Hotel. (The 1,539-room Atlantis was scheduled to open its doors on 24 September.) Ameinfo mentioned
A fire broke out at the Atlantis Hotel on the Palm Jumeirah today, Tuesday. (Gulfnews mentioned) I can’t add more talk about fires problems in Dubai than what I’ve said previously in my 2 articles: 14,000 Fire Accidents In The UAE Just In 5 Years and Tower Fire in Dubai Internet City

How sad!
