Inside the mega-luxe hotel with fire fountains, a sky pool and butlers for guests

An extravagant new Dubai hotel with 4,000 jelly fish, pillow menu and 22nd floor sky pool is poised to open.

The enormous Middle Eastern resort will have 44 suites with private infinity pools as well as a stylish infinity pool on the 22nd floor with spectacular views out over the Palm Island.

It will even feature the largest jellyfish aquarium in the world. If that doesn't float your boat, then a water fountain show that breathes fire and a collection of celebrity chef restaurants and bars provide the full Dubai experience.

The hotel will be called Atlantis The Royal and will be enormous, with 795 rooms across 43 storeys.

All rooms, suites and signature penthouses will have bespoke selection of amenities from luxury brands, including Hermès, Frette and Graff.

Those in the suites will be waited on hand and foot by an elite butler service.

They will unpack your luggage, select your pillow, press your clothes, and set up a selection of activities for you to enjoy on the resort.

The hotel is going really big on the pillow experience.

"Guests staying in a suite or signature penthouse will be offered a mini pillow sample menu by their butler, enabling them to curate their own sleep experience," a description of the hotel promises.

"The unique amenity features miniature versions of every pillow, enabling guests to review the shape, touch and feel of the pillows before making their choice.

"The pillow menu consists of seven different types of pillows, including cool down, memory foam for head, memory foam for feet, buckwheat, pregnancy and a body pillow option."

Guests will be able to control their room’s thermostat, lighting, television and other amenities via their mobile phones.

The six towers that make up Atlantis The Royal are brought together by a 90-metre long Skypool on the 22nd floor, which forms part of an outdoor entertainment experience called Cloud 22.

"Featuring VIP cabanas with private plunge pools, a swim up-bar and a glittering head-shaped DJ booth, this venue is the jewel in Atlantis The Royal’s crown.," the description continutes.

"Set to become the iconic entertainment and nightlife destination in Dubai, revellers can dance away the day, into night to the world’s best DJ’s whist overlooking the glittering Dubai skyline."

Atlantis The Royal will also be home to Heston Blumenthal’s inaugural cocktail bar, which is set to feature a 6.5m high jellyfish aquarium, housing 4,000 moon jellies.

One of the several fountains on the resort is called Skyblaze and breathes fire.

"Before opening to guests, Atlantis The Royal will hold a spectacular Grand Reveal in January with a star-studded line up in attendance and an event that promises to match the ambition of the new resort," the description continues.

"This will echo the spectacular launch of Atlantis The Palm in 2008, where guests included Robert DeNiro, Gerard Butler, Kylie Minogue and Priyanka Chopra, with a firework display that could be seen from space."
