Fire at The Atlantis Hotel on Palm Jumeirah casts doubts on opening
Dubai and shortly thereafter, the world, was abuzz with rumors and speculations after a fire broke out at The Atlantis Hotel yesterday morning. The fire was contained in a few hours and was mainly isolated to the lobby and the impressive central dome over it, however the damage has been done. The hotel is set to open its doors to the public on 24th September 2008 but the incident has cast doubts over if this really will be possible. The official hotel stance is that the opening will not be delayed... the rest only time will tell.
