The World’s Tallest Hotel Opens in Dubai: Inside Ciel Dubai Marina
Dubai has set a new world record with the opening of Ciel Dubai Marina, now officially the tallest hotel in the world. According to the project developers, the hotel reaches a height of 377 meters, making it a new landmark on Dubai’s skyline.
📍 A New Icon in the Heart of Dubai Marina
The hotel is located in the center of Dubai Marina, one of the city’s most famous and lively areas. It adds a striking new shape to the city’s skyline.
Interestingly, the building was not originally planned to reach this height. During construction, design changes were made, which increased the number of floors and raised the tower higher than expected, according to People.
🏗️ Smart and Innovative Architectural Design
Ciel Dubai Marina was designed by the architectural firm NORR Group.
The building features a unique opening at the top called the “needle eye”. This design helps reduce wind pressure and improves the stability of the tower, making it safer and stronger despite its extreme height.
🗣️ What the Developer Said
Rob Burns, CEO of the development company under The First Group, explained that breaking a world record was not the main goal.
He said:
“We did not plan to build the tallest hotel in the world, but design changes during construction led us there.”
According to Burns, the main aim was always to create an exceptional and unique building.
