Atlantis The Palm Hotel in Dubai

Atlantis The Palm Hotel in Dubai, a luxury 5 stars hotel!!

In 2008, as the world suffering about the economy crisis the other part of the planet in Dubai a cool and a new luxury Atlantis hotel and resort they’re building at the tip-top apex of the Palm Jumeirah has been inaugurated.

It’s insane. Incridible:-)

The article said the resort cost $1.5 billion … which seems a little steep. Well, I guess there are 1,539 rooms. That’s pretty big. And yeah, it’s also on a freakin’ artificial island. Land was probably a little pricey.

They also brought in 65,000 marine animals “from the Gulf and beyond” – meaning the whole dolphin trouble. I guess we never talked about that here – see last year these guys found some sketchball company in the South Pacific to go out and capture 28 wild dolphins and ship them to Dubai. Classy. It was all over the news here:

How Are The Dubai Dolphins?

Anyway, the the resort goes on to say that they have a 17-hectare water park, which would be impressive if I knew what a “hectare” was. Of course I do:-)

I assume it’s big and expensive.

Although rooms are only $454 a night, which isn’t bad considering it took $1.5 billion to build. Let’s see, estimating 90% capacity of 1,539 rooms, all paying $454 a night, it’d only take six and a half years to make $1.5 billion!
