Ciel Tower: The World’s Tallest Hotel Set to Open in Dubai in 2026
Dubai is no stranger to architectural marvels, and it’s all set to break yet another record with the upcoming launch of Ciel Tower—a hotel that will soon claim the title of the tallest hotel on the planet. Scheduled to open in 2026, this soaring 82-storey skyscraper will rise to a jaw-dropping 1,198 feet (365 meters), surpassing all current hospitality rivals.
A Vertical Wonder in the Heart of Dubai Marina
Located in the vibrant Dubai Marina district, Ciel Tower promises more than just elevation. The hotel will house over 1,000 luxury rooms and suites, catering to tourists, business travelers, and luxury seekers from around the globe.
But it’s not just the height that’s making headlines. Ciel will also feature:
- Three signature restaurants serving world-class cuisine
- One of Dubai’s highest infinity pools, offering unforgettable views
- A glass observation deck that delivers 360-degree panoramas of the Palm Jumeirah, the Arabian Gulf, and the glittering city skyline
- A spa, state-of-the-art gym, and a layered sky lounge for exclusive social and business gatherings
Part of the IHG Vignette Collection
Ciel Tower will be managed under the IHG’s luxury boutique brand, Vignette Collection, bringing a unique blend of global hospitality and personalized experience. It’s not just a place to stay—Ciel is designed to be a destination in itself.
Designed for the Future
The striking structure was conceived by the London-based NORR Group and is being developed by The First Group, a prominent player in Dubai’s booming property market. Ciel has already swept multiple International Property Awards, even before its grand opening, a testament to its visionary design and luxurious appeal.
What to Expect
As travelers look for unique, experience-rich stays, Ciel Tower stands out as a symbol of next-gen luxury. From floating above Dubai’s skyline in a shimmering infinity pool to dining at world-class restaurants with aerial views, guests will be treated to a hotel stay like no other.
As Dubai continues to redefine urban luxury and architectural innovation, Ciel Tower emerges as its next crown jewel. Once open, it won’t just be the tallest hotel in the world—it will be a benchmark in sky-high hospitality.
