The MICHELIN Guide unveiled its 2025 Key Selection at a global event in Paris, where Atlantis The Royal became the first hotel in the region to receive the prestigious Three Keys recognition. Adding to its honours, the property also received the MICHELIN Architecture & Design Award, one of only four special awards announced during the ceremony.
This milestone marks the debut of the MICHELIN Guide’s worldwide Key Selection, celebrating the most exceptional hotels across the globe. Following the rollout of the distinction in 15 key travel destinations, the global ceremony brought together leaders from the international travel and hospitality sectors to honour the world’s finest hotel experiences.

Renowned as an architectural marvel and a symbol of modern Dubai, Atlantis The Royal continues to redefine luxury hospitality. The resort offers 16 dining destinations, including the MICHELIN-starred Dinner by Heston Blumenthal, Nobu by the Beach, and the newly opened Carbone Dubai. It also features immersive experiences such as the Skyblaze Fountain show, now enhanced with music by acclaimed composer Hans Zimmer.
Olivier Bonard, General Manager and Senior Vice President of Atlantis The Royal, said the awards reflect the property’s commitment to excellence. “Being recognised with three Keys and the MICHELIN Architecture & Design Award is a proud moment. This honour is a testament to our team’s dedication and to Kerzner International’s visionary leadership in creating extraordinary guest experiences,” he said.
