In a stunning leap, Atlantis The Royal in Dubai has ascended 35 places to secure the No. 9 spot in The World's 50 Best Hotels 2024, earning the prestigious Highest Climber Award 2024.

This remarkable recognition comes just a year after its debut at No. 44, marking it as the sole representative from the Middle East on the list.

The ceremony, hosted in the historical Guildhall in London, served as a global gathering for the travel and hospitality community, recognizing industry-defining hotels from six continents. The World's 50 Best Hotels 2024 was unveiled through a live countdown, shining a spotlight on the premier travel experiences as chosen by a panel of 600 anonymous experts.

With its iconic presence in Dubai, the resort is known for its innovative partnerships and experiential offerings. From collaborations with Dolce & Gabbana at the Cloud 22 infinity pool to commemorating its anniversary with Louis Vuitton Vivienne statues, Atlantis The Royal stands out as a destination of unparalleled experiences. Its 795 rooms, suites, and signature penthouses offer guests the opportunity to dine at a collection of celebrity chef restaurants, swim in sky pools, and witness fire-breathing fountains.

"Bringing together so many influential figures from the travel industry to honour and celebrate the world's finest hotel experiences is truly a special moment.
