Dubai breaking records – Ciel Dubai Marina, world’s tallest hotel, opens

Dubai continues to push architectural boundaries. Ciel Dubai Marina, the world’s tallest hotel, opened on November 15 and welcomed its first guests.

The hotel, managed by The First Group Hospitality, is 82 stories high and 377 meters high, and was designed by award-winning architecture firm NORR, with an “eye of a needle” shape.

The hotel has 1,004 luxuriously appointed rooms and suites, all with floor-to-ceiling glass windows offering panoramic views of the Palm Jumeirah, the Arabian Gulf and the Dubai skyline.

Opening prices start at EUR 310 per night, while premium suites cost around EUR 570 with access to a lounge on a higher floor.

The glass-clad tower is built around a central atrium that floods the interior with natural light. Guests can look forward to a rooftop observatory offering 360-degree views of Dubai’s landmarks, including the Burj Al Arab and Ain Dubai.

Ciel Dubai Marina, Vignette Collection will be home to eight restaurants with impressive interiors. Among them is Tattu, a modern Asian concept born in the UK. Tattu Dubai will include Tattu Restaurant & Bar, Tattu Sky Pool and Tattu Sky Lounge.

On the 76th floor, Tattu Sky Pool rises as the world’s highest infinity pool, offering comfortable loungers and Japanese-fusion snacks. Sky Lounge & Terrace on the 81st floor combines sophistication, music, cocktails and 360° views from the rooftop.

The hotel will also set new Guinness World Records for both the world’s highest infinity pool and the highest club. At 76 floors above ground, Tattu Sky Pool surpasses the Address Beach Resort’s previous record of 294 meters. Just a few floors above, Tattu Sky Lounge is currently the world’s highest club.

In addition to the restaurant, Ciel will be home to a luxurious spa located on the 61st floor, complete with a state-of-the-art gym, offering panoramic views and state-of-the-art cardio, strength and functional training equipment.

The executive lounge, Nest, on the 16th floor will be a VIP lounge serving refreshments throughout the day for hotel guests booking Executive Club rooms and suites. Luxuriously appointed meeting rooms with state-of-the-art technology, flexible spaces and panoramic views provide the foundation for business meetings, private meetings and group experiences.

The hotel’s opening comes as Dubai continues to expand its tourism sector, attracting over 17 million international visitors by 2024. With projects such as Ciel Dubai Marina, the emirate is solidifying its leading position as one of the world’s most competitive luxury hospitality markets.

Bookings are open ahead of the launch on November 15, and the facility is expected to attract strong international demand during the peak winter tourist season.
