Dubai, home to the world’s tallest building, the Burj Khalifa, continues to redefine skylines with bold, record-breaking architecture.
Renowned for luxury, innovation and large-scale projects, the city now unveils another marvel: Ciel Dubai Marina. Rising 377 metres above the Marina, this 82-storey tower claims the title of the world’s tallest hotel, surpassing the Gevora Hotel on Sheikh Zayed Road.
Developed by The First Group and managed by the Vignette Collection of InterContinental Hotels Group, Ciel Dubai Marina promises unmatched luxury, panoramic views and a range of world-class experiences, adding yet another iconic landmark to Dubai’s skyline.
A towering icon on Dubai’s skyline
Ciel Dubai Marina is an architectural masterpiece designed by the award-winning NORR studio, featuring a glass façade and a dramatic central atrium that floods the interiors with natural light.
The hotel offers 1,004 rooms and suites, each with panoramic views of Palm Jumeirah and Dubai Marina.
Rates
- Standard rooms: from 1,310 dirhams (around 22,500 meticais) per night;
- Premium suites: approximately 2,400 dirhams (around 41,200 meticais) per night, with access to upper-floor lounges.
The design emphasises luxury and spectacle, combining elegant interiors with breathtaking city views. A 360-degree observation deck at the top adds another attraction, offering views of iconic landmarks such as the Burj Al Arab and Ain Dubai.
World records and high-altitude experiences
Ciel Dubai Marina is not only the tallest hotel in the world; it also holds several records:
- Tattu Sky Pool: located on the 76th floor, it becomes the highest infinity pool in the world, surpassing the previous record of 294 metres at Address Beach Resort;
- Tattu Sky Lounge: on the 81st floor, it claims the title of the world’s highest club.
These attractions offer guests unparalleled perspectives of Dubai’s skyline, blending leisure and luxury at truly impressive heights.
A culinary destination in the clouds
The gastronomic offering at Ciel Dubai Marina has been designed to match its record-breaking scale. At the heart of the hotel is Tattu Dubai, an award-winning Asian restaurant occupying three of the top floors, featuring modern Chinese aesthetics and panoramic city views.
Other dining experiences include:
- Risen Café & Artisanal Bakery: offering all-day menus with fresh, locally sourced ingredients;
- West 13: a Mediterranean-inspired restaurant with handmade pasta, Greek gyros and mezze dishes prepared in an open kitchen;
- East 14: a buffet highlighting flavours from Thailand, Malaysia, Vietnam and India, with live stations for ramen, sushi and curry.
The combination of sophisticated cuisine, premium accommodation and world-class design makes Ciel a holistic luxury experience.
Strengthening Dubai’s tourism leadership
The opening of Ciel Dubai Marina comes at a time when the city continues to expand rapidly in the tourism sector. In 2024, it welcomed more than 17 million international visitors, consolidating its position as a major global hub for luxury travel.
The hotel is expected to attract strong international demand, especially during Dubai’s peak winter season. Reservations are already open, and Ciel is set to become a key destination for both leisure and business travellers, further reinforcing the city’s reputation as a benchmark for high-quality hospitality.
