A new global landmark is set to rise in Dubai Marina as Ciel, the world’s tallest hotel, prepares for its grand opening in November 2025.
Towering at a record-breaking height of 377 metres, this striking skyscraper is positioned to redefine luxury hospitality and further cement Dubai’s status as a leader in architectural innovation and tourism.
Tallest hotel in the world
With 82 floors and more than 1,000 rooms and suites, Ciel will become the tallest hotel in the world housed entirely within a single tower.
The structure has already captured global attention for its needle-like design and sleek glass façade, offering panoramic views across Palm Jumeirah, Dubai Marina, the Arabian Gulf, and the glittering city skyline.
Ciel is not just about vertical scale, it represents a new standard in hotel experiences, combining breathtaking architecture with world-class services, diverse dining options, and unparalleled leisure amenities.
Designed with both business and leisure travellers in mind, Ciel Dubai Marina brings together a full spectrum of lifestyle offerings. The hotel will feature eight distinct dining destinations, each reflecting global culinary influences.
Among them is West 13, inspired by Mediterranean and Latin cultures, and East 14, which will offer vibrant flavours from across Asia and India. Guests will also be able to enjoy freshly baked goods and all-day dining at an artisanal café and bakery.
Tattu Dubai
The star attraction, however, is Tattu Dubai, a multi-level modern Asian concept that includes a rooftop restaurant, a lounge, and the world’s highest infinity pool, located on level 76. This space will provide 360-degree views of the city and coast, offering one of the most exclusive and elevated dining and leisure experiences in the world.
Ciel will also deliver a full-service wellness offering, including a luxury spa on the 61st floor with immersive beauty rituals and rejuvenation therapies.
A 24-hour gym, fitted with floor-to-ceiling windows, will cater to health-conscious guests looking to stay active while taking in sweeping skyline views.
The hotel is also family-friendly, with dedicated facilities including a Kids Club, child-oriented dining options, and a splash pad designed for younger guests. These features make Ciel a versatile destination that caters to solo travellers, couples, families, and long-stay business guests alike.
Prime location in the heart of Dubai Marina
Located in the sought-after Dubai Marina district, the hotel offers immediate access to waterfront boardwalks, public beaches, and some of the city’s most popular attractions, including Bluewaters Island, JBR beachfront, and Dubai Marina Mall. Its proximity to Dubai’s metro and tram systems ensures seamless connectivity throughout the city.
Guests will also receive exclusive access to Soluna Beach Club on Palm Jumeirah, a premium beachside retreat just 15 minutes away from the hotel, further extending the luxury lifestyle experience beyond the tower itself.
Ciel Dubai Marina will be managed under the umbrella of a globally recognised hotel brand and is part of a collection that emphasizes immersive luxury and culturally rich experiences.
With its record-breaking stature and impressive array of amenities, the hotel is expected to become a must-visit destination for international travellers and a defining feature of Dubai’s ever-evolving skyline.
As anticipation builds ahead of its November 2025 debut, Ciel is set not only to claim the title of the world’s tallest hotel, but also to deliver an extraordinary guest experience from the moment it opens its doors.
