Five-star resort destination in Dubai, Atlantis, The Palm, will undertake a three-year refurbishment program covering the resorts 1,539 rooms and suites.
The $100mn refurbishment is planned even as Atlantis, The Palm reported impressive results during the first five months of 2017, which saw occupancy levels of 93% on average, with an 11% increase year on year.

The interior design of the typical guestrooms was awarded to the UAE-based interior design studio, WA International, whose design will be built by fit-out specialist Al Tayer Stocks, which has been awarded the strip out and refurbishment of the 1,532 guest rooms, suites and corridors.
The project will deliver a fresh look and feel, including contemporary carpet designs reminiscent of the turquoise and azure seas, with shades of coral bursting through the newly enhanced guest rooms, the company said.
Integrated technology will also be acknowledged throughout with 49-inch flat screen televisions, proximity reader key systems, and many more convenient features. The refurbishment will also extend to balcony areas as well as bathrooms, which will include Greek Didyma marble basins and free standing bathtubs.
