Luxury Meets Marvel: Ciel Dubai Marina To Open In November 2025 As World’s Tallest Hotel

Set to open its doors in November 2025, the Ciel Dubai Marina, part of the Vignette Collection by IHG, is poised to become the pinnacle of modern luxury and architectural innovation.

With its staggering height of 377 metres spread across 82 floors, it will hold the title of the world’s tallest hotel. This architectural jewel is not only a testament to superior design but also to the luxurious guest experiences and state-of-the-art facilities it promises to offer, all complemented by breathtaking views of the surrounding landscape.

The hotel’s strategic location ensures that iconic destinations such as Palm Jumeirah, Uptown Dubai, and the dynamic Bluewaters lifestyle hub are just minutes away. Furthermore, with direct access to the Marina boardwalk and close connections to key transportation services, the hotel serves as an ideal gateway to explore the city’s rich cultural and social heritage.

At the heart of Ciel Dubai Marina’s allure are its eight distinctive dining venues, each offering a unique culinary adventure. West 13 is a vibrant homage to Mediterranean culture, featuring dishes inspired by Italy, Greece, Spain, France, and Latin America, all crafted from sustainably farmed produce.

Meanwhile, East 14 invites guests on a sensory journey through Asian culinary traditions, with a buffet that includes live cooking stations for Ramen, Pho, Sushi, and Dim Sum, alongside rich Indian curries and a wide array of Asian salads and breads.

Risen Café and Artisanal Bakery adds a homegrown flavor to the hotel’s dining options, focusing on locally sourced ingredients and offering a menu filled with both classic and innovative dishes, as well as freshly baked pastries and award-winning coffee. This space is designed for those seeking comfort and authenticity in their dining experience.

Adding to the hotel's dining experience is Tattu, a modern Asian concept originating from the UK, which will open a multi-level venue within the hotel. Tattu Restaurant & Bar, Tattu Sky Pool, and Tattu Sky Lounge each offer a unique atmosphere, from the mythological-themed restaurant on level 74 to the world's highest infinity pool on level 76, and the sophisticated Sky Lounge & Terrace on level 81, promising unforgettable moments and breathtaking 360° views.

Guests of the Ciel Dubai Marina will also have the luxury of visiting the hotel's spa located on the 61st floor, offering a serene environment for rejuvenation with treatments that blend advanced beauty techniques with traditional rituals.

A state-of-the-art gym equipped for all types of training, open 24/7, and a complimentary transfer to Soluna Beach Club on Palm Jumeirah for exclusive beach access, further enhance the guest experience. For families, the hotel offers a range of child-friendly amenities and activities, ensuring a welcoming environment for guests of all ages.

The hotel also caters to business travelers with its Executive Lounge, Nest, on the 16th floor, offering a VIP experience with refreshments throughout the day for those staying in Executive Club rooms and Suites. Additionally, stylish meeting rooms equipped with advanced technology provide a perfect setting for business gatherings and private meetings, set against the backdrop of Dubai’s skyline.

Designed by the award-winning architect Norr, Ciel Dubai Marina, Vignette Collection, exemplifies elegance with its unique "eye of the needle" shape. The hotel will feature 1,004 luxuriously designed rooms and suites, all boasting floor-to-ceiling glass windows for panoramic views of Palm Jumeirah, the Arabian Gulf, and Dubai's skyline.
