The team at Atlantis, the Palm take care of every detail, from a personal, guarded entrance and private elevator to a dedicated, 24-hour team of butlers and chefs.

It’s so good, the Royal Bridge Suite was honoured with the title of United Arab Emirates’ Leading Hotel Suite by voters at the World Travel Awards last year.

At the Waldorf Astoria Dubai Palm Jumeirah, guests can live unforgettable and experience ultimate luxury at the largest suite in town.

At 1,567 square metres, the Royal Suite occupies the entire top floor of the hotel and is accessible through a private VIP lift.

A world of rarefied luxury awaits in the two-bedroom Presidential Suite at Kempinski Emerald Palace.

Thoughtfully arranged for elegant entertaining, the residentially styled haven features spacious living and dining areas, a kitchenette and a powder room.
