A year ago, one of the most anticipated hotels in Dubai finally opened its doors, Atlantis the Royal, on the crescent on the palm. This is where Linda invited me for my birthday dinner, to enjoy a Michelin dinner at Dinner by Heston Blumenthal, one of the 17 restaurants in this hotel.
But first, we wanted to discover the hotel a bit of course! We wandered around the lobby, with it's big aquariums and the largest jellyfish tank in the world; firewalls and the beautiful installation Droplets, illustrating the first drops of rain in the desert:
We then went outside, to find us a nice seat by the Skyblaze fountain, which had flames sprouting out of water and a big water show every half an hour.
We celebrated the evening with a cocktail from their 'Elements'-menu, I tried 'Earth' and Linda 'Water:
We had time to enjoy the water show twice, both in the sunset and in the dark. Very impressive and unlike anything else I have ever seen.
Then it was time to take the elevator up to the restaurant, an elevator surrounded by water, so unique!
Finally it was time for our indulging dinner experience, but that deserves its own post!
