The Ciel will be set in the world's largest human-made marina—the Dubai Marina—offering 360-degree views of the Persian Gulf, including the Palm Jumeirah, Dubai's archipelago of human-made islands, and the Burj Khalifa, the world's tallest building.
Boasting 1,004 rooms, including 147 suites, across 82 floors, guests at the Ciel can soak in panoramic views through floor-to-ceiling glass windows.
The hotel will also feature the world's highest infinity swimming pool set around 1,004 feet in the sky, as well as a 1,158 feet-high "sky restaurant" and an "atrium sky garden" spanning 12 levels. This was according to a statement from the China Railway 18th Bureau Group of Dubai (CR18BG), the contractor behind the hotel, according to local media.
The construction of the hotel, which is slated to open at the end of this year, has reached different stages.
The lobby fit-out works have reached at least 65 percent completion and parts of the dining areas are 50 percent complete. The installation of guest room furniture was also said to be 45 percent completed, while the fit-out of the leisure deck has seen at least 40 percent progress, according to April-May updates shared by the developer.
Designed by NORR—the architectural firm behind the Atlantis The Palm hotel complex located at the heart of the Palm Jumeirah—once completed, the Ciel will usurp the current tallest hotel in the world, the 1,169 foot-high Gevora hotel, which is also in Dubai.
Set on the 76th floor of Ciel will be the infinity pool—the Tattu Sky Pool. This forms part of the Tattu Dubai restaurant, bar and lounge complex spanning three floors of the hotel. The Tattu restaurant will be housed on the 74th level, while the Tattu Sky Lounge is found at the 81st floor, according to the venue's website.
Reaching around 984 feet high, the hotel's imposing communal atrium space will feature "vertically stacked landscaped and naturally ventilated terraces," noted The First Group, the developer of the hotel.
