Redefined Atlantis Casino, The Royal Guestrooms, Paranza,
and
Bar Sol Debut at the Iconic Resort
PARADISE ISLAND, Bahamas, July 9, 2024
/PRNewswire/ -- Atlantis Paradise Island, the most iconic
resort destination in the Bahamas
and the Caribbean, has completed a
$150 million resort-wide
transformation, including updates to the casino, guestrooms, restaurants and lounges.
The resort unveiled refashioned guestrooms at The Royal,
Atlantis' iconic towers; an
entirely redefined Atlantis
Casino; and Paranza, a
new restaurant at The Cove, where the esteemed Michelin-starred
chef Michael White brings his
culinary mastery to the table. The updates emulate the ethos of
Atlantis and include custom
fixtures and design details evocative of the ocean and ecosystems
found throughout the Bahamas.
Other additions include Bar Sol, Cleito's private gaming, Silan,
Perch, the Caribbean's first Shake
Shack, FIELDTRIP, Cartier, Thistle, and coming soon, Christian Louboutin and Paradise Links mini-golf
course.
"Atlantis continuously elevates
the guest experience, and recent developments at The Royal, Paranza
and the Atlantis
Casino provide guests
with upgraded, modern touches while retaining the resort's integral
identity that visitors know and love," said Audrey Oswell, President and Managing Director
of Atlantis. "Atlantis' experiential-driven programming
allows our guests and visitors to create lifelong memories while
visiting the resort and the Bahamas. The new designs throughout
Atlantis demonstrate our
commitment to providing an unsurpassed vacation experience."
Complete Transformation of The Royal from Top to
Bottom
The Royal at Atlantis, a
1,201-room hotel home to the Atlantis Casino, underwent a multimillion-dollar
transformation, including fully refashioned guestrooms with
specially curated bespoke décor.
The guestroom redesign, led by Atlantis' Senior Vice President of Design and
Creative Director Tony Tompkins,
transports guests to the serenity of the white sand beaches of the
Bahamas, with the Royal rooms'
breathtaking Caribbean views as
the focal point. The carpets, reminiscent of the calmness and
beauty of the ocean, are a perfect match for the tranquil setting.
Sculptural pieces inspired by the unique archipelago of the
Bahamas hang above the bed and
desk, offering visual glimpses of the island within the space. The
cool, calming shades of blue and white and the use of neutral
beechwood reflect the soothing seas and provide a peaceful retreat
for travelers to relax and unwind, creating a truly immersive
experience.
The Royal has 120 suites, including 10 Grand Suites, four
Presidential Suites, and three Royal Suites, all echoing the
redesign of the guest rooms. The suites feature richer, deeper
colors to add depth, with bold teals and sage greens providing an
elegant touch to the guest experience.
The Redefined Atlantis Casino Introduces a New Look and Bar
Sol
The 85-table, 700-game casino, one of Atlantis' landmark features, is home to four
instantly recognizable one-of-a-kind glass sculptures by
internationally renowned artist Dale
Chihuly. The Sun and The Moon glass installations were
created specifically for the Atlantis Casino 25 years ago, uniting color, light, form,
and space to deliver a uniquely immersive experience.
By re-lighting the glass sculptures and minimizing the surrounding
structure, the new design interacts harmoniously with light and
space, which Chihuly is known for in his work.
The custom carpet features 26 shades, drawing on the jewel tones
seen in the casino's
recognizable art. Deeply saturated hues and gold accents, combined
with shimmering textures and flowing lines, echo the refractions of
the sea, adding a sense of place and creating a cohesive,
sophisticated look.
The beloved murals throughout the casino have been artfully restored, and nearby
light features have been updated to give the spaces a modern yet
classic feel incorporating Atlantis' signature design elements. The
ceilings, previously covered by canopies, are now open, creating a
more spacious and airier atmosphere with a clear view of the entire
casino.
The central Moon Bar inside the
casino has been
upgraded with a circular deck, allowing guests to take a break from
the action or step up to overlook the casino floor.
The Atlantis Casino has recently opened Bar Sol,
inspired by the late Sol Kerzner's
passion for Bahamian artists, music, and entertainment. It offers a
stylish and sophisticated atmosphere where guests can enjoy a
well-crafted cocktail and dance beneath a raised stage and DJ
booth. The centerpiece of Bar Sol is a restored Chihuly chandelier
that exudes warm gold hues, creating a unique ambiance complemented
by the venue's lineup of nightly live music performances.
The Atlantis Casino is also home to several of the
resort's finest dining options, including Nobu and Silan, the new
restaurant by James Beard
Award-winning chef Alon Shaya.
Michelin-starred Chef Transports Guests to the Italian
Coastline at Paranza
The newest dining option at The Cove, Atlantis, a luxury all-suite hotel, is Paranza
by Michelin-starred chef Michael
White. Award-winning design studio Jeffrey Beers
International designed it in collaboration with Tony Tompkins. The interior design was inspired
by the vibrant blue waters and white sand beaches of the
Bahamas and the Italian coastline,
complementing Chef White's approachable and unfussy take on fine
dining.
The culinary journey for guests begins as they arrive and walk
along a winding path to discover the warmly lit patio of the
restaurant, nestled under a wooden pergola and opening into
Paranza's main dining area. The custom space is adorned with
hand-blown glass, antique mirrors, and iron arches featuring earthy
hues such as oak, smoky blue, and bright cognac.
The bar area showcases a temperature-controlled dual-purpose
wine wall that is the focal point of the private dining room's
entryway. The private dining room features oversized,
seashell-shaped brass light fixtures and custom design
elements.
