The world’s tallest hotel has opened in Dubai. Featuring one of the world’s highest infinity pools with panoramic views of the emirate’s coastline, Ceil Dubai Marina represents a striking new landmark in the city’s skyline.
Boasting 1,004 rooms and suites, rising 82 floors and reaching 377 metres, Ciel Dubai Marina is an architectural and experiential landmark that offers a dramatic exhibition of contrasts – east meets west, city meets sea, large-scale meets intimate – with amenities that range from the sky-high infinity pool to eight dining venues.
Starting in February, guests can rejuvenate at the spa on Level 61, and a 24-hour state-of-the-art gym offers inspiring skyline views for an energizing workout.
Guests also have 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 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 personalized service.
Located minutes from Palm Jumeirah and Uptown Dubai, the property also offers immediate access to Dubai Marina with world-class dining, shopping, stunning beaches, and popular attractions.
Contactless check-in
Meanwhile, Dubai has introduced a contactless hotel guest check-in solution that gives guests the option of bypassing in-person check-in procedures once implemented at the city’s hotels and holiday homes.
The pioneering biometric and digital technology capability, developed by Visit Dubai and available through several independent providers, allows guests to complete all check-in formalities prior to their arrival, directly from their mobile phones.
By uploading essential identification documentation and biometric data once, the entire process is streamlined, significantly reducing or eliminating traditional check-in times. Upon arrival, guests can bypass the usual check-in desk formalities at the start of every stay at participating hotels.
The securely held data then remains valid until the identification document expires, meaning only a quick authentication, such as through facial recognition, would be required on subsequent visits.
Repeat visitors make up almost a quarter of total annual visitation to Dubai, and this new service welcomes them to the city with added convenience, consolidating their affinity for the destination.
