Instagram’s ‘Year in Review 2015’ crowns Atlantis, The Palm as the third most Instagrammed hotel in the world with celebrities leading the way with selfies.
Atlantis, The Palm, Dubai’s iconic entertainment resort has been named the third most snapped hotel on Instagram in the world and most Instagrammed hotel in the Middle East.
With selfies being the most popular choice of Instagram post it’s not only guests who catch the Instagram bug; celebrities who also got selfie snapping in 2015 include Kim and Khloe Kardashian who stayed in two of Atlantis, The Palm’s Signature Suites, Mark and Michelle Wright who boasted of adventures swimming with a hammerhead shark and David Beckham who enjoyed a sushi feast in Nobu.
Additional popular selfie snappers at Atlantis include supermodel Jourdan Dunn, Drake, and Ram Kapoor.
Top 10 celebrity inspired selfie spots
- Taking the top selfie spot is the Atlantis arch. Strike your best supermodel pose a la Jourdan Dunn to reach the maximum in likes and shares
- Make like Drake and get up close and personal with 65,000 sharks, rays and fish that live in the Middle East and Africa’s largest aquarium, the Ambassador Lagoon. Be prepared to snap a passing hammerhead shark to make this selfie worth the dice with being dinner
- If sharks are not your selfie style, a stay in the Underwater Suite like Khloe Kardashian is the next best thing. Pose with a #stingbae for extra favourite
- No successful selfie is complete without a sealion joining in the fun. Make like World Champion Swimmer Florent Manaudou and visit Sea Lion Point for a fishy photo that will be sure to take the gold in selfie likes
