Ciel Dubai Marina, the world’s tallest hotel, is now open in Dubai Marina, welcoming guests with room rates starting at AED2,400 per night.

Spanning 82 floors and reaching a height of 377 metres, the striking tower was designed by award-winning firm Norr and joins Dubai’s skyline as a new architectural landmark.

The hotel, part of IHG’s Vignette Collection and managed by The First Group Hospitality, offers 1,042 accommodations – including 150 suites across nine categories – with floor-to-ceiling windows that provide 360-degree views of the Arabian Gulf and Palm Jumeirah.

Ciel features three swimming pools, including the world’s highest infinity pool on the 76th floor, which crowns the three-level Tattu Dubai complex. This venue is home to the award-winning Asian restaurant Tattu, alongside a bar and lounge.

Dining options span 10 restaurants and bars, including a sky restaurant at 353 metres and Mediterranean eatery West 13, where guests enjoy open kitchens and dishes crafted from seasonal, sustainable produce.

On the 81st floor, guests will find an open-air observation deck with sweeping city views, and a 12-story vertical sky gardens with a large glass atrium, designed to make the building open and filled with natural light.

For wellness and leisure, guests can access a luxury spa on the 61st floor, a fully equipped gym, designer boutiques and the Executive Lounge ’Nest’, which features smart meeting rooms, flexible workspaces and skyline views.

Located near JBR beachfront and Bluewaters Island, Ciel places guests moments from The Walk and Ain Dubai, the world’s tallest observation wheel.

Haitham Mattar, Managing Director of IHG Hotels & Resorts for West Asia, Middle East and Africa, said, “When we launched the Vignette Collection in late 2021, our vision was to create a portfolio of unique luxury hotels. The opening of Ciel Dubai Marina, Vignette Collection is the pinnacle of that vision, showcasing the collection’s success and our dedication to providing extraordinary experiences for our guests.”

This year has seen several major hotel openings in Dubai, including Jumeirah Marsa Al Arab, a superyacht-inspired property with 386 rooms and suites, which began welcoming guests in March, as well as the Mandarin Oriental Downtown Dubai, which recently opened with 259 rooms and suites in the Wasl Tower. Zuha Resort Villas on the World Islands is also expected to open before year-end.
