UAE | The highly-anticipated Ciel Dubai Marina has officially opened within IHG's Vignette Collection, officially becoming the world's tallest hotel.
Ciel Dubai Marina is now officially open within IHG’s Vignette Collection. Setting a new global benchmark as the world’s tallest hotel, the ambitious project, led by Dubai developer The First Group, underscores Vignette Collection’s vision to offer one-of-a-kind stays in destinations to remember. The architectural marvel spans 82 floors, which collectively rise 377 meters above Dubai and is home to one of the world’s highest infinity pools.
Ciel Dubai Marina is both an architectural and experiential landmark, a place where every stay unfolds as a story. A striking expression of contrasts, east meets west, city meets sea, scale meets intimacy, Ciel Dubai Marina embodies the Vignette Collection spirit of discovery and individuality. From one of the world’s highest infinity pools to its vibrant dining destinations, each detail is crafted with purpose, balancing drama with depth. Within flowing lines, serene tones, and natural textures create a rhythm that feels alive, calm yet energised, luxurious yet grounded. The result is a stay that connects guests not just to the destination, but to something more meaningful: a sense of place, perspective, and belonging.
Ciel Dubai Marina stands tall alongside some of the world’s most extraordinary examples in hospitality, encompassed within IHG’s Vignette Collection, a growing family of distinctly different hotels, each with their own outlook and story to tell.
“We are delighted to welcome guests to Ciel Dubai Marina, Vignette Collection, a visionary landmark that redefines innovation, luxury, and creativity at every level,” said Heinrich Morio, Managing Director of Ciel Dubai Marina.
“This extraordinary hotel reflects Dubai’s status as a global destination for tourism and business, offering an experience that is as elevated as it is unforgettable. Our team of dedicated professionals are ready to welcome guests with genuine warmth and care, creating an atmosphere of heartfelt hospitality from the moment they arrive.”
From February 2026, guests can rejuvenate at the spa on Level 61, where advanced beauty rituals meet time-honoured traditions. The hotel’s 24-hour state-of-the-art gym offers inspiring skyline views for an energising workout. Guests can also enjoy seamless access to Soluna Beach Club on Palm Jumeirah, where they can unwind by the private pool or relax along the pristine shoreline.
Families are warmly welcomed, with dedicated spaces and activities for children, including a Splash Pad, Kids Club, child-friendly menus, and thoughtful amenities at check-in. For business travellers and Executive Club guests, Nest, located on Level 16, offers refreshments, skyline views, and stylish meeting spaces equipped with cutting-edge technology and personalised service.
Managed by The First Group Hospitality, the property offers immediate access to Dubai Marina with world-class dining, shopping, stunning beaches, and renowned attractions. Just minutes from Palm Jumeirah and Uptown Dubai, it serves as the perfect starting point to experience the city’s vibrant spirit and sophistication. Nearby, the bustling JBR beachfront and the dynamic Bluewaters lifestyle destination, home to iconic landmarks such as The Walk and Ain Dubai, the world’s tallest observation wheel, provide even more opportunities for discovery. The hotel also features direct access to the Marina boardwalk with its water taxis, as well as convenient connections to Dubai Marina Mall and the city’s tram and metro services.
