World’s tallest hotel opens in Dubai Photo

Dubai has officially unveiled the world’s tallest hotel, the Ciel Dubai Marina, which opened on November 15. Standing at 377 meters, the new landmark surpasses the previous record-holder, the 356-meter Gevora Hotel, and boasts 82 floors and 1,004 rooms.

Developed by The First Group and operated under the IHG Hotels & Resorts’ Vignette Collection, the hotel was designed by renowned architecture firm NORR. Its striking glass exterior is complemented by luxury facilities, including the world’s highest infinity pool, the Tattu Sky Pool, located on the 76th floor at a height of 310 meters, Kazinform reports.

"We are delighted to welcome guests to Ciel Dubai Marina, a visionary landmark that redefines innovation, luxury, and creativity at every level," said Heinrich Morio, Managing Director of Ciel Dubai Marina. "This extraordinary hotel reflects Dubai’s status as a global destination for tourism and business, offering an experience that is as elevated as it is unforgettable."

In addition to its sky-high views, the hotel offers a range of dining venues, including Tattu Dubai, West 13 with Mediterranean dishes, East 14 serving Asian cuisine, and the Risen Café & Artisanal Bakery. Guests can also enjoy a rooftop observation deck, a spa, a 24-hour fitness center, and complimentary access to the Soluna Beach Club.

The $544 million project further solidifies Dubai's position as a global hub for luxury tourism. The city now boasts eight of the ten tallest hotels in the world, adding another iconic structure to its skyline.

Earlier this year, Dubai was also named the world’s best city for remote-working executives, further cementing its reputation as a top destination for both business and leisure.
