Royal at Atlantis has undergone a multimillion-dollar transformation, including fully refashioned rooms with specially curated bespoke décor
Atlantis Paradise Island, an ultra-luxury resort destination in the Bahamas, has announced the completion of a USD 150 million resort-wide transformation, including updates to the casino, guestrooms, restaurants and lounges.
According to a press statement by the hotel group, it has refashioned guestrooms, entirely redefined its casino and also opened Paranza, a new restaurant.
The statement adds that other additions include Bar Sol, Cleito’s private gaming, Silan, Perch, the Caribbean’s first Shake Shack, Fieldtrip, Cartier, Thistle, and 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,” says 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,” Oswell adds.
The statement adds that Royal at Atlantis, a 1,201-room hotel home to the Atlantis Casino, has undergone a multimillion-dollar transformation, including fully refashioned rooms with specially curated bespoke décor.
The room redesign, led by Atlantis’ Senior Vice President of Design and Creative Director Tony Tompkins, transports clients to the serenity of the white sand beaches of the Bahamas, with the Royal rooms’ breathtaking Caribbean views as the focal point.
The Royal has 120 suites, including 10 Grand Suites, four Presidential Suites, and three Royal Suites, all echoing the redesign of the rooms. The suites feature richer, deeper colors to add depth, with bold teals and sage greens providing an elegant touch to the stay experience.
The hotel group says that Atlantis Casino has been relaunched with a new look and bar sol. The 85-table, 700-game casino, one of Atlantis’ landmark features, is home to four 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 colour, light, form, and space to deliver a uniquely immersive experience.
By re-lighting the glass sculptures and minimising the surrounding structure, the new design blends with light and space.
The statement adds that the custom carpet features 26 shades, drawing on the jewel tones seen in the casino’s art. Deeply saturated hues and gold accents, combined with shimmering textures and flowing lines, echo the refractions of the sea.
The Atlantis Casino has also opened Bar Sol, inspired by the late Sol Kerzner’s passion for Bahamian artists, music, and entertainment. It is meant to offer a sophisticated atmosphere where guests can enjoy a well-crafted cocktail and dance beneath a raised stage and DJ booth.
The centrepiece 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.
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.
