WORLD’S TALLEST TOWER TAKES SHAPE IN DUBAI MARINA

DUBAI-HEADQUARTERED DEVELOPER, The First Group, is making rapid progress in the development of the world’s tallest hotel, Ciel, which is set to open in Dubai Marina in 2023.

The foundations for the future icon, which is being developed in partnership with China Railway Construction Corporation (CRCC), are near completion, with more than 11,800 cubic metres of concrete and in excess of 3,000 tonnes of steel being used in the process, highlighting the sheer scale of the project.

Designed by award-winning architectural firm NORR, the 365-metre tall skyscraper will house 1,042 guestrooms, including 150 suites, premium guest amenities and facilities such as the Ciel Observatory & Lounge on the 81st floor and a signature rooftop Sky Terrace featuring a stunning infinity pool, bar and observation deck affording sweeping panoramic views of Dubai’s world-famous skyline, the Palm Jumeirah and Arabian Gulf.

A signature specialty restaurant will spearhead the hotel’s F&B options, which will also include an all-day dining venue, Sunset Lounge (75th floor) and Horizon Bar (77th floor). A luxury spa and health club will be located on the building’s 55th floor, offering a remarkable location for guests to unwind, relax or workout while admiring the incredible ocean-front views.

In a city known for its architectural feats, Ciel will be a unique addition to the Dubai skyline.

The property has already earned prestigious industry accolades including 2019 International Property Awards (IPAs) for Best International Hotel Architecture, Best Hotel Architecture Arabia and Best Residential High-rise Architecture Arabia.
