Also, how does it compare to the Atlantis?

At Waldorf Astoria properties, there is no entitlement to complimentary breakfast. From the T & C, the My Way benefits for gold members are:
Space-available upgrade to a preferred room
1,000 HHonors Bonus Points per stay or one in-room movie per stay.
You might get an upgrade, but for one night, it's along way out on the Palm and wouldn't give you much time to spend there. Personally, I would go for the Conrad Dubai if only staying for one night and you would get the complimentary breakfast if you set your My Way preference to that benefit.
Did not stay at the Atlantis, but had a look around and it appeared to be a very busy family hotel, whereas the Waldorf was a lot quieter and more relaxing when we were there.
