A Grand Debut with Beyoncé
The grand opening of Atlantis The Royal was nothing short of spectacular, highlighted by a surprise performance from global icon Beyoncé. On January 21, 2023, Beyoncé took the stage for her first live concert in over four years, delivering an unforgettable experience for the exclusive audience. Accompanied by the 48-person Firdaus Orchestra, she performed a setlist of 17 songs, including classics like “At Last,” “Halo,” and “Crazy in Love.” A memorable moment was her duet with daughter Blue Ivy on “Brown Skin Girl.” The performance was enhanced by a stunning fireworks display and intricate choreography, marking a historic night for both the artist and the resort. Reports indicate that Beyoncé was compensated $24 million for this private concert, underscoring the grandeur of the event.
Upper Room Interiors’ Contribution
Upper Room Interior Design & Fit Out played a pivotal role in shaping the interiors of both the hotel and residences at Atlantis The Royal. Their expertise is evident in the meticulous design of the 2-bedroom duplexes, where a harmonious blend of coastal and contemporary aesthetics creates a serene yet sophisticated ambiance. The use of clear glass complemented by light and dark blue accents reflects the surrounding seascape, enhancing the connection between the interior spaces and the breathtaking views of the Arabian Gulf. This thoughtful design approach not only elevates the visual appeal but also ensures a tranquil and luxurious environment for guests and residents alike.
