The resort features numerous decorative elements, including stunning glass sculptures by American artist Dale Chihuly in the casino and indoor waterfalls and fountains near the foyer.

[2] The site was initially developed as part of the Paradise Island Hotel and Casino, which opened in 1968 under the ownership of Resorts International, a company later acquired by television host and businessman Merv Griffin.

[5] Following renovations and expansions, the resort was rebranded as Atlantis Paradise Island, with the construction of the Royal Towers marking the official opening on December 11, 1998.

The Royal's guest rooms have been redesigned with a focus on Bahamian aesthetics, while the casino has received new carpeting, lighting, and the reinstallation of Dale Chihuly glass sculptures.

New dining and retail offerings include Bar Sol, Paranza, Silan, Perch, the Caribbean's first Shake Shack, FIELDTRIP, Cartier, and Thistle.

Popular options include Bimini Road, known for its Bahamian specialties, such as conch, and Fish by José Andrés, which serves an extensive seafood menu.

For a more upscale experience, Nobu offers Japanese cuisine, including its signature black cod, while Paranza by Michael White provides innovative Italian dishes with a seafood focus.
