THE PLANS for a £338 million “world’s tallest hotel” with 82 floors and over 1,000 rooms – plus panoramic views of the iconic city – have been revealed.
Ciel Tower in Dubai Marina will stand tall at 365m and has already received various awards for its groundbreaking design.
The new hotel, which is set to become the world’s tallest, will span a whopping 104 storeys and cost an eye-watering £338 million to complete.
The structure that’s being built by Immo Prestige Limited and NORR, will offer 360-degree views over the stunning Dubai Marina, the Palm Jumeirah and even the Arabian Gulf.
It is set to have 1,042 rooms, including 150 suites, which will spread across the tower‘s 82 floors.
As well as the deluxe guest rooms and suites the impressive building will also provide premium features for the super rich.
These include the Ciel Observatory and Lounge on the 81st floor and a signature Sky Terrace with an infinity pool and Horizon Bar.
While the mega-structure hasn’t even been built yet, it’s already won various prestigious awards including the Best International Hotel Architecture and Best Hotel Architecture Arabia.
For the Ciel’s foundations, about 12,000 cubic metres of concrete and 2,700 tonnes of steel were used.
The leading architect for the super-structure Yahya Jan told CNN: “This project is not just about architecture. It’s about architecture and engineering coming together.
“That’s why I love the project so much. It is my passion, the convergence of science and art.
“When you design a project as complex as the Ciel, you can never let your guard down, you can never say it’s over. It’s a continuous process.”
It comes after incredible plans for the world’s second tallest skyscraper were revealed, which will include the highest nightclub and observation deck on the planet.
The Burj Azizi in Dubai is set to be an staggering 725 metres (2,379ft) high, coming just behind its neighbour and record holder the Burj Khalifa at 830 metres (2,723ft).
Azizi Developments say construction of the £1.15 billion tower – twice as big as The Shard – has already begun, and is expected to be completed in 2028.
Sales for the lavish skyscraper, planned to be over the 131 storeys, will launch next February, but the probably eye-watering prices have yet to be announced.
The Burj Azizi will feature a unique all-suite seven-star hotel inspired by seven cultural themes.
It will also see luxury residences ranging from penthouses to apartments and holiday homes.
The giant building will have a “one-of-a-kind” adrenaline zone and observation deck, where guests can soak up the desert views of Dubai.
Similarly, plans for a £1 billion skyscraper which include the world’s highest infinity pool, a royal penthouse and rainforest were revealed.
Buyers cans snap up an ultra-luxurious penthouse in Dubai that’s situated way up in the clouds – and you wouldn’t ever have to leave.
The £1bn Tiger Sky Tower claims it will break at least five world records when it’s completed – including the highest restaurant and infinity pool.
The Tiger Properties project is home to 18 luxurious penthouses at a whopping 1,398ft and a majestic royal penthouse at 1,400ft – the highest in the world.
