I found some amazing news on a big project going on the Palm Jumeirah, called the Atlantis Hotel.

The 2,300 bedroom Atlantis on the Palm will be the world's largest hotel covering 60 acres and will be the world's second seven-star hotel when it opens in 2007. There's suppose to be 2 more 7 star hotels in Dubai in the Chess City Development, but I don't have any info on that. The Hotels 2,000+ rooms will be converged into The Royal Towers will consist of 1,200 rooms that will target luxury travelers and a second tower of 800+ rooms aimed towards the middle market.

This will also have two monorail stations in the hotel to connect it to the main stalk of the palm

The resort will have some unusual and distinctive archeological marine exhibits. The design will be based on the myth of Atlantis and will maintain the iconic design elements of the Royal Towers in Atlantis, Paradise Island, incorporating traditional Arabic design themes.

• An extensive water-theme park, which at approximately 40 acres will be the largest in the region, will feature unique water attractions, one of the world's largest marine habitats, a snorkel trail, a swim with the dolphins encounter program, an array of water slides and The Dig, an Atlantis-themed "archeological" experience. The water-theme park will have capacity for over 6,000 daily visitors.

• The expansion will also include significant facilities directed towards Dubai's strong business travel and budding convention market, including a two-story conference center wing with a total of over 86,000 square feet of function space and a main ballroom of approximately 21,000 square feet, the largest such room in Dubai outside of the Dubai Convention Center.

• The expansion includes an Entertainment Village that will feature 20,000 square feet of retail space within an 80,000 square feet area hosting restaurants and food and beverage establishments.

• Hotel and water park visitors will be transported through a monorail system, to be developed by Nakheel, which is expected to begin at the trunk of The Palm Jumeirah and will end at The Palm.

Here's a few Pics.

That's right, they changed it into 2 hotels.

I hope someone will put a 7 star hotel in Dubai. With the cancellation of International Chess City, there's not one 7 Star hotel development I know of.

Malec, help me out  :D

Well, burj al arab is.

Actually there's no such thing as a 7* hotel. BAA is just a very very good 5* hotel.
