That’s right. The Ciel will not just be another pretty building in the Dubai skyline–it’s about to become the tallest hotel on the planet. When everything is said and done, The Ciel will offer a total height of 365 meters (1,197 ft.). Again, yes, they are both in Dubai, duh.
Quick Summary (Because Why Not Start with the End?)
In summary: Dubai has done it again. They are creating something huge, luxurious and borderline possible. This time, it is called The Ciel, a stunningly tall sky hotel that is said to open up by the end of this year. When completed, it will offer more than just a room, but an experience, above the clouds.
Oh, And There’s a Sky Pool—Like, Really High Up
Sounds too good to be true? Not in Dubai. This isn’t just a pool—it’s going to be the highest infinity pool in the world, at the ultra-luxurious Tattu Dubai—which will take up three full floors of extravagance—think fine dining, bar options for days, and lounges you’ll never want to leave.
Progress Update? They’re On Their Way
When it comes to construction time, they are getting there! The lobby space is roughly 65% complete. Restaurants? About halfway there. Rooms? 45% of them are getting these now! And that enormous rec deck? They’ve got about 40% of that done. Little by little, all the pieces of this magical world are coming together! 1,004 Rooms. 147 Suites. 82 Floors. Lots of Luxury.
Now for the numbers. It does not get more serious than what Ciel is laying down. The property will have over 1,000 rooms—almost 150 of which are suites. This is a hotel on steroids! Floor to ceiling glass will provide a stunning view of the Persian Gulf, and frankly, it may just be worth it for the view!
Wait… There’s also a Sky Garden?
It’s a floating forest that spans 12 floors and is cantilevered 300 meters above ground. Why not?
Where? Dead Centre of Dubai Marina
If you’re wondering where this was located, it is in Dubai Marina—exactly where you want it to be when it is this glamorous. Every angle offers a photo opportunity, whether you’re relaxing in a suite or sipping something sparkly in the sky lounge.
What Makes It Iconic (Other Than Obvious)?
The First Group dusted this cerulean head-turner, and they say Ciel isn’t just a building. And, to be honest, with 10 separate bars and restaurants throughout the building and a 81st floor rooftop observation deck it is hard not to think of this as pause-worthy.
More on the introductions (Yeah, We Are Doing This Now)
So here is the thing: Dubai already has done world records; tallest building? check. biggest mall? Check. And now the tallest hotel. They keep pushing the envelope, and The Ciel is their latest statement on how far they can take both record breaking designs and architectural impressiveness.
