Ciel Dubai Marina: World’s tallest hotel opens in Dubai
Sky-high infinity pool, rooftop dining, and world-class facilities await visitors
DUBAI – Dubai has unveiled a striking addition to its skyline with the opening of Ciel Dubai Marina, Vignette Collection by IHG.
Standing 377 metres tall across 82 floors, the hotel is officially the world’s tallest hotel. Located in the vibrant heart of Dubai Marina, Ciel offers guests unparalleled views of the coastline and a multi-dimensional luxury experience designed to captivate both leisure and business travellers.
“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,” said Heinrich Morio, Managing Director of Ciel Dubai Marina. The hotel promises not only architectural grandeur but also an immersive hospitality experience, setting a new benchmark for the city’s dynamic hotel sector.
Elevated design
With 1,004 rooms and suites, Ciel Dubai Marina showcases a dramatic interplay of contrasts: east meets west, city meets sea, and grandeur meets intimacy. The interiors feature a natural rhythm of soft lines and serene tones, complemented by warm hues, dynamic lighting, and organic textures, creating a luxurious yet grounded environment. Every detail has been meticulously designed to provide a multi-sensory experience, ensuring guests leave with more than memories—each visit tells a story.
The sky-high infinity pool and eight unique dining venues form the heart of the hotel’s experiential offerings. Among them, Tattu Dubai on levels 74 to 81 delivers a multi-level modern Asian concept, featuring a dramatic restaurant, a Sky Pool at 310 metres, and a Sky Lounge with 360° views. West 13 offers Mediterranean-inspired cuisine, East 14 presents a live Asian buffet, and Risen Café provides all-day artisanal dining.
