Dubai’s New Architectural Marvel

The largest artificial marina of the city, Dubai Marina, already is a centre of iconic skyscrapers and lifestyle places. Ciel Tower will now take the skyline and replace Gevora Hotel, which is the tallest hotel in the city at the moment. It is just steps away from the JBR Beach, Marina Walk, Dubai Marina Mall, and Cayan Tower and has easy access to the Sheikh Zayed Road and the Dubai Metro making it a destination as well as a convenient place for both tourists and residents.

From Concept to Reality

Ciel Tower is a masterpiece of modern construction and engineering, which has been developed by The First Group in collaboration with Vignette Collection of IHG Hotels and Resorts. The design of NORR Group of London under the supervision of architect Yahya Jan saw the construction of a flowing sculptural structure tapering gracefully at the top and topped with a glass observation deck that gives 360-degree panoramas of Dubai.

The construction is also breath-taking:

• Foundations: About 11,800-12,000 cubic meters of concrete and more than 3000 tonnes of steel will make it stand against the Dubai coastal winds.

• Architectural Depth: There is a 300-meter high vertical atrium of sky gardens of various levels with natural ventilation merging the communal space and the sustainable design.

Luxury Redefined at Ciel

Rooms & Suites
Ciel will comprise 1,000+ rooms and above 150 suites, which have floor-to-ceiling panorama windows facing the city of Dubai Marina, Palm Jumeirah and the Arabian Gulf. The guests will be presented with a combination of modern beauty and coziness, as it will be literally and metaphorically raised over the city.

Signature Experiences

• Infinity Pool (76th floor): Swim almost 1,000 ft in the sky on a world first sky pool.
• Dining in the Clouds: Tattu restaurant (74th floor) to a sky restaurant (1,158 ft) and a sky lounge and observation deck (81st floor).
• Wellness: The 55th -61st floor spa and health club offer relaxation overlooking the view, as well as fitness centres and immersive wellness.

Ciel has already won International Property Awards in the categories of Best International Hotel architecture and Best High Rise Architecture Arnold Arabia which demonstrates its recognition on the global level.

Strategic Location & Connectivity

The location of Ciel in Dubai Marina is also strategic: the site lies in the middle of the busy lifestyle and tourism ecosystem. The guests may visit JBR Beach, walk through Marina Walk, or visit such shopping centres as Dubai Marina Mall or marvel Cayan Tower. The hotel also has a good accessibility through the Sheikh Zayed Road and the Dubai Metro, which makes it easy to access by tourists and business travellers.

• Lobby finishing: 65% complete
• Guest room furniture installation: 45%

The construction reflects advanced engineering and design innovation, including Building Information Modelling (BIM) and high-speed observation elevators for seamless vertical mobility.

• Energy-efficient glazing and prefabricated façade panels
• Wastewater recycling systems
