About Ciel Dubai Marina
- Guinness World Records officially certified Ciel as the world's tallest hotel on 9 December 2025, at 377.127 metres, surpassing the previous record and making it the only pure-hospitality tower (no residential or office components) at this height globally.
- The sky pool sits on the 76th floor at approximately 310 metres above ground, guests swim with unobstructed 360-degree views of Palm Jumeirah, the Gulf, and the full Marina skyline simultaneously.
- Developer The First Group broke ground on Ciel in 2018; the project took seven years to complete, spanning the COVID-19 construction slowdown and two rounds of design refinements that reshaped the tower's upper restaurant volumes.

The setting
Ciel Dubai Marina rises within Dubai Marina — the artificial canal city carved from the Gulf shoreline from the early 2000s, its 8 km of landscaped promenade and nearly 200 high-rise towers forming one of the world's most recognisable waterfront urban addresses. JBR Beach is twelve minutes by taxi; Ain Dubai on Bluewaters Island twenty-seven minutes; and Madinat Jumeirah twenty-three minutes by car. As the world's tallest hotel tower, Ciel commands 360-degree views across Palm Jumeirah, the Gulf, and the full arc of the Marina skyline — a superlative that positions it as the physical and symbolic apex of a district defined by vertical ambition.
