A new landmark has debuted … and it quite literally touches the sky. Ciel Dubai Marina, Vignette Collection by IHG is officially the world’s tallest hotel, at a whopping 1,236 feet tall, spanning 82 floors.
With 1,004 guestrooms and suites, the new hotel combines unbeatable views with world-class dining and innovative design. As the world’s tallest hotel, Ciel Dubai Marina also now boasts one of the world’s highest infinity pools, open to guests. And great height also comes with amenities with unparalleled views, such as the 24-hour gym with skyline sights.
The award-winning Tattu Dubai will comprise just one of eight dining venues in the hotel. It will feature a restaurant and bar, sky pool, and sky lounge, each space featuring dramatic interiors and boundary-pushing cuisine. The sky pool, on level 76, boasts daybeds, Japanese-fusion bites and, come evening, DJ sets. Moving up to level 81, guests enter the sky lounge and terrace, where sophistication, music, cocktails and 360-degree views come together in one unforgettable experience.
Other food and beverage spots include West 13, serving handmade pasta, gyros, tacos, mezze and artisanal bakery creations; East 14, an Asian buffet adventure with live ramen, pho, sushi, dim sum, curries and fresh Asian specialties; and Risen Café and Artisanal Bakery, offering breakfast, lunch and all-day menus with classic and specialty confectionaries and barista coffee.
A spa is also slated to grace the property on level 61 in February 2026. State-of-the-art meeting facilities and a children’s club also welcome both business travelers and families.
Guests of the hotel can enjoy access to Soluna Beach Club on Palm Jumeirah. Business travelers and Executive Club guests can access Nest, on level 16 and featuring meeting spaces with cutting-edge technology, refreshments and personalized service.
