KPF-designed Atlantis The Royal in Dubai has retained the Michelin Guide’s highest hotel distinction, Three Keys, for the second consecutive year.
Atlantis The Royal became the first hotel in the UAE to achieve the three key distinction in 2025, and remains the only hotel in the country to hold the honor. Michelin Keys evaluate hotels across five criteria, including architecture and interior design, service quality, character, value, and contribution to guest experience of its setting—Three Keys marks the hotel as an “extraordinary stay.” The achievement comes days after Atlantis The Royal was named No. 4 on The World’s 50 Best Hotels 2026 list, up from No. 6 the previous year.
