Dubai’s new Hotel Atlantis-The Royal ft. Beyoncé

Unless you decided to deactivate social media and hide under a rock this weekend, you’ve likely seen or heard something about a star-studded celebration in Dubai. Technically, all of the (admittedly random) socialites, celebrities, and influencers jet-setted out for the “Grand Reveal” of new hotel Atlantis, The Royal – but we all know they were really there to catch Beyoncé’s $24 million headlining performance, her first live concert in years.

There was, of course, plenty to do before and after the main event. Like the opening of a new Nobu outpost, a bash presented by Kendall Jenner and her 818 Tequila brand, a rave courtesy of Swedish House Mafia, an Ivy Park fashion show, and the debut of a new nightclub from New York’s own Tao Group CEO Noah Tepperberg.
