In a city known for pushing architectural limits and rewriting what luxury means, Dubai is preparing to unveil yet another marvel. The Ciel, an 82-storey masterpiece rising to a jaw-dropping height of over 1,197 feet, is all set to become the tallest hotel in the world. Located in the heart of Dubai Marina, this towering icon will soon eclipse the current record holder, the Gevora Hotel, and take hospitality to an entirely new level.
What makes The Ciel more than just another tall building is its commitment to blending height with true hospitality experiences. With 1,004 rooms including 147 suites, this hotel is designed not just for scale, but for the unforgettable. Floor-to-ceiling glass windows ensure that every room feels like a floating space above the city. Whether you are waking up to the calm of the Persian Gulf or watching the glittering skyline come alive at night, the views are part of the stay.
But the real magic happens when you go higher. The 76th floor will house the world’s highest infinity pool, perched at a height of around 1,004 feet. The sight of water touching the sky is something few places in the world can offer. Add to that a stunning sky restaurant at 1,158 feet and you are not just dining out, you are dining in the clouds. The hotel also features a 12-level atrium garden, blending nature with height in a way that feels both calming and futuristic.
At its core, The Ciel is more than just a hotel. It is an experience built vertically. The 81st-floor observation deck will offer sweeping 360-degree views of the city and coast, a panoramic canvas that captures everything Dubai has to offer. The rooftop also includes a three-storey leisure complex named Tattu Dubai, bringing together a fine-dining restaurant, a stylish lounge, and a rooftop bar where the sky feels within reach.
Wellness and comfort have not been forgotten either. Guests can enjoy a luxury spa, a state-of-the-art gym, and pools designed for both adults and children. Every detail has been crafted to cater not just to guests, but to experiences that become memories.
Set in Dubai Marina, the world’s largest man-made marina, The Ciel enjoys a prime location. Surrounded by water, shopping districts, and nightlife, the hotel provides an ideal base for travellers who want both excitement and elegance in equal measure. Construction is progressing steadily and the hotel is expected to welcome guests by the end of this year.
With its launch, The Ciel will not only set a new world record, but also reaffirm Dubai’s title as the global capital of sky-high innovation and luxury. It combines architecture, engineering, and design in a way that feels both futuristic and grounded in world-class hospitality.
If you are planning to experience Dubai soon, The Ciel will not just be a place to stay. It will be the destination itself.
