The City of Dreams development has adopted ‘Atlantis’ as the theme of design, with external water features on the west side and an aquarium inside, coupled with water shows. The site area, which is more than 500,000m², is described as a 'world-class urban integrated entertainment luxury resort'.

The resort consists of a 3-storey podium with areas for gaming, retail and food and beverage, a basement carpark with back-of-house facilities, and 5 high-rise towers containing Crown, Hyatt and Hard Rock hotels, a serviced apartment block and a theatre named Dragone.

The theme and the retail area planning on the ground floor have brought significant challenges to the fire engineering design team in relation to means of escape planning. In terms of multiple information and communications technology, all applications will be Internet Protocol (IP) based with services including voice, data, video, audio visual, communications, security and surveillance.
