Project Description

Located on The Palm Jumeirah, Dubai, The Royal Atlantis is a mixed-use hotel and residences consisting of 6 towers rising approximately 187m above the ground and therefore is the tallest project yet to be built on The Palm. The towers are linked together at the podium levels which serve as a shared lobby and amenity space for both. The hotel and residential towers are also connected by a 50-meter-long sky bridge that links the 18th through 22nd floors of the two towers. This iconic project is a challenging project, especially considering the constructability of the main structural elements.
