Ciel, the world’s tallest hotel coming up in Dubai, has reached halfway point in its construction and is scheduled to open in the first half of 2024.
Construction on the megastructure is ongoing beyond the 52nd floor, and it is scheduled to be completed by the end of next year. It is being developed by The First Group.
Gevora Hotel on Sheikh Zayed Road in Dubai is currently the tallest hotel in the world, reaching 356 meters. Gevora overtook JW Marriot Marquis as the tallest hotel in the world, which rises 355 meters into the sky.
Out of the 100 tallest buildings under construction worldwide that have a minimum height of 300 meters, five of them are being built in Dubai, according to Skyscraper Centre data.
Ciel will feature more than 1,000 guestrooms and suites, as well as premium guest amenities and facilities, such as the Ciel Observatory & Lounge on the 81st floor and a Sky Terrace featuring an infinity pool and bar on the roof. sweeping panoramic views of Dubai’s world-famous skyline, the Palm Jumeirah, and Arabian Gulf.
“Ciel will set a new benchmark for innovative design in super-tall buildings, not just in Dubai, but globally,” said Danny Lubert, co-founder of The First Group.
There is a 300-meter-tall atrium with vertically stacked terraces spanning the 82 floors of the building, providing occupants with shared communal and interactive spaces.
Ciel’s interior design is inspired by Wabi-Sabi, a Japanese tradition centered on understated elegance and rustic, warm aesthetics.
There will also be a Sunset Lounge on the 74th floor and a Horizon Bar on the 76th floor of the hotel.
Rob Burns, CEO of The First Group, said: “Ciel is a landmark development for Dubai that will not only enhance its status as one of the world’s great tourism and business travel destinations but will set a new benchmark for upscale accommodation in what is recognized as one of the most dynamic and competitive hotel markets on the planet.”
