The 377-meter-tall, 82-story, 1,004-room, and suite hotel that opened last week has become the world's tallest hotel. The needle-shaped structure was designed by architects NORR Group, and it's all about height.
Ciel Dubai Marina, the latest addition to the Vignette Collection by global hotel management group IHG, joins the ranks of the UAE's mega-skyscrapers and becomes the tallest hotel in the world .
All rooms feature floor-to-ceiling windows, allowing guests to enjoy panoramic views of the Palm Jumeirah, the Dubai skyline and the Arabian Gulf.
The 76th floor features an outdoor infinity pool facing the ocean, one of the highest in the world, and at the top of the tower is an observation deck with panoramic views.
The architects say Ciel's design addresses "many complex challenges, including resource efficiency and sustainability." "Ciel is ambitious, with enclosed gardens stacked vertically across the tower. From the very early stages of design, fluid dynamics analysis and wind tunnel modeling had a significant impact on the structure and shape of the tower," the design firm said.
The hotel's facilities are as lavish as its design. There are eight dining options on each floor and the Tattu Sky Pool is located on the 76th floor, 310 meters high…, according to Gulf News .
At 377 metres tall, Ciel Dubai will redefine the luxury hospitality industry as the world's tallest purpose-built hotel tower.
