Nope - I think it's absolutely hideous http://www.atlantisthepalm.com/rooms...es/bridge.aspx

But a lost chambers suite could be fun for the novelty value.

Personally I'd rather spend the money on a skiing holiday staying in a privately run traditional wood chalet in the swiss alps or a water villa in the Maldives or the Seychelles.

We're not going back until they release the whale shark.

But I'd still be in two minds about paying ₤25,000 for a room there when I could stay in Holiday Inn for ₤80 (its certainly more aesthetically pleasing).

My boss has just booked a 20 bedroom plantation mansion in Jamaica for his 60th birthday party...costing less than US$25,000 including food and beverages. Sadly I am not invited as someone has to run the office.

If I could afford to throw money away like that I'd do it Europe, Vegas or Tokyo...where I can really sink into lecherous debauchery without ever sitting at a gold plated table surrounded by washers up and chefs
