Ciel Dubai Marina: All you need to know about the world’s tallest hotel opening in Dubai
Dubai is set to welcome a new iconic landmark this November with the opening of Ciel Dubai Marina. True to its name, which means “sky” in French, the hotel soars 1,231 feet high with 82 floors, making it the tallest all-hotel tower in the world. Located on the 76th floor, guests can enjoy a swim in the world’s highest infinity pool while soaking in breathtaking views of the ocean and the city.
The hotel features over 1,000 rooms and suites, all equipped with floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the Palm Jumeirah, the Arabian Gulf, and Dubai’s glittering skyline. According to Forbes, rates start at approximately 1,036 AED (approximately Rs 25,000) per night for a Deluxe Room.
The Ciel Dubai Marina will offer eight restaurants and bars, including modern Asian dining at Tattu, Mediterranean flavors at West 13, and a rooftop Sky Lounge with a 360-degree observation deck.
For relaxation, the hotel offers a spa and a 24/7 gym with stunning views, as well as complimentary transfers to the private Soluna Beach Club. Designed by the NORR Group, the needle-shaped tower also boasts landscaped terraces and 12 stacked atrium gardens.
“Boasting iconic views of the city, our beautiful Observation Atriums stand sky-high on the 81st floor. Our immersive guest experience includes a state-of-the-art gymnasium, a sophisticated guest lounge and luxury spa, and a dedicated Podium, and Children’s pool.
