New Delhi [India], October 31: Atlantis The Royal has been named No. 6 in the global ranking of The World's 50 Best Hotels 2025. Following a successful debut in 2023, the resort's latest accolade was announced at the third edition of The World's 50 Best Hotels awards ceremony in London alongside industry-defining hotels from across the globe. In addition, the resort was bestowed two special accolades, including the Lost Explorer Best Beach Hotel Award 2025 and Best Hotel in the Middle East 2025.
The awards ceremony once again brought together the world and hospitality community to celebrate the world's best hotels. Held at London's iconic Old Billingsgate on the banks of the River Thames, the event showcased exceptional hotel experiences that will inspire consumers, travellers and hoteliers around the globe.
Marking its two-year anniversary earlier this year, Atlantis The Royal remained on The World's 50 Best Hotels ranking at No. 6. Already established as an iconic Dubai landmark, the resort continues to redefine the future of luxury hospitality. Whether in gastronomy, fashion, or entertainment, Atlantis The Royal leads with pioneering collaborations from Dolce&Gabbana's vibrant new Carretto Siciliano takeover at Cloud 22 in partnership with Ounass, to the launch of CARBONE Dubai, Major Food Group's celebrated Italian-American restaurant, unveiled with a glittering, star-studded celebration and hailed as one of the most anticipated openings of the year. The resort has also debuted the immersive "Diamond in the Desert" fire-meets-water spectacle by Hans Zimmer, elevating the legendary Skyblaze Fountain to new heights. With 760 exquisite rooms, suites, and signature penthouses, guests can swim amongst the clouds in sky-pools and dine at more celebrity-chef restaurants than anywhere else in the world.
Emma Sleight, Head of Content for The World's 50 Best Hotels, says: "We're delighted to return to London for the third edition of The World's 50 Best Hotels. It's an honour to gather so many leading voices in travel, hospitality and hotels - and to celebrate the very best. Our warmest congratulations go to every hotel on this year's list, each of which has clearly made a lasting impression on our newly expanded Academy of travel experts. We hope 2025's list sparks inspiration for travellers as they plan their next trip."
Paul Baker, President of Atlantis, comments: "It is an exceptional honour to see Atlantis The Royal recognised among The World's 50 Best Hotels for the third consecutive year, and we are incredibly proud to be bestowed two special awards - the Lost Explorer Best Beach Hotel Award 2025 and Best Hotel in the Middle East 2025.
