Photographer Ahmad Alnaji Captures Ciel Dubai Marina, World's Tallest Hotel
Photographer Ahmad Alnaji has unveiled photographs of Ciel Dubai Marina, which stands as the tallest hotel-only structure globally at 377 meters, eclipsing the Gevora Hotel's height of 356 meters. The project, led by NORR's Yahya Jan, aimed to showcase the building's artistic and authentic design. Managed by IHG's Vignette Collection, the hotel boasts 1,004 rooms, eight dining options, a spa, a gym, and facilities for children. The skyscraper features a tapering silhouette with curved cold-bent glass facades and an infinity pool located on the 76th floor. A 300-meter atrium with sky gardens acts as the building's core. NORR, established in 1938, has offices in Canada, the USA, and the UK. Future Dubai skyscrapers include a Mercedes-Benz residential series and designs by MVRDV.
