Ciel Dubai Marina Opens Its Doors: the tallest hotel on the planet

Dubai once again raises the bar for international hospitality with the official opening of Ciel Dubai Marina, Vignette Collection, inaugurated on November 17, 2025 and presented as the tallest hotel on the planet. Standing 377 meters high, with 82 floors and 1,004 rooms and suites, this extraordinary tower redefines the fusion of architecture, luxury, and sensory experience.

Ciel joins the exclusive Vignette Collection by IHG Hotels & Resorts, a brand that brings together distinctive, design-driven properties with strong identity and refined character. In this case, the concept embraces verticality as a stage for light, views, and modernity to coexist in perfect harmony.

A Structure Designed to Amaze

The building rises as a visual landmark over the Dubai Marina. Every room is crafted to capture the surrounding scenery through floor-to-ceiling windows, offering uninterrupted panoramas of the skyline, the Arabian Gulf, and the vibrant urban life below.

On the upper levels, the spectacular infinity pool creates an almost floating experience, ranking among the highest swimming pools in the world. It is destined to become one of Dubai’s most photographed locations.

Elevated Gastronomy

Beyond its striking architecture, Ciel Dubai Marina presents a diverse and refined culinary offering:

• East 14, showcasing contemporary Asian flavors.
• West 13, celebrating Mediterranean cuisine with a modern twist.
• Tattu Dubai, a signature dining destination located on one of the tower’s elevated floors, where cuisine, ambience, and artistic design come together.

These gastronomic concepts aim to position Ciel not only as a hotel, but as a culinary destination in its own right.

A Strategic Marina Setting

Location is another key advantage. Situated in the coveted Dubai Marina, the hotel offers immediate access to the waterfront promenade, leisure areas, beaches, shopping districts, and seamless connectivity to Palm Jumeirah, one of the city’s most iconic landmarks.

A New Global Benchmark in Hospitality

With its debut, Ciel Dubai Marina marks a new chapter in contemporary hotel architecture. Its towering presence reshapes competition in high-rise luxury hospitality and introduces a new vision for immersive travel experiences, reaffirming Dubai’s leadership in the global premium tourism landscape.
