Dubai is all set to break its own record! The country is known for the tallest, largest and the craziest and now there’s going to be yet another addition to this list. While Dubai is already home to the world’s tallest hotel– the Gevora on Sheikh Zayed Road, the city is set to break its own record. Ciel in Dubai Marina will be four meters taller than Gevora.
What’s It?
The world’s tallest hotel will soon have its address in Dubai. Ciel in Dubai Marina is set to break Dubai’s own record, being four meters taller than Gevora. The 360-metre building is spread across 82 levels, featuring 1,209 luxury hotel suites and serviced apartments. The project is developed by The First Group and designed by Norr architects- the brain behind Dubai’s stunning Atlantis.
When completed the hotel will boast plush interiors with green patches and a lot of details on the roof. Ceil’s rooftop will provide 360-degree views over Dubai Marina, The Palm Jumeirah and the Arabian Gulf. As well as the roof will have a leisure deck, a bar and the world’s highest infinity swimming pool.
As for the dining options, guests can dine amidst the clouds at four delectable restaurants based on exciting concepts.
We can’t wait to get a glimpse of this sky-high building!
What Else?
Being one of the busiest airports in the world, Changi has routinely topped multiple top airports of the world lists and now it will be a favourite of tourists from around the world. Singapore’s Changi Airport just got an indoor waterfall and it is indoor! This indoor waterfall is 131 ft tall making it the world’s tallest waterfall!

Housed inside a dome-shaped vortex, the waterfall is surrounded by a beautiful lush garden. The waterfall pours down seven storeys from an opening in the glass domed roof of the Safdie Architects-designed building at the airport. Rain Vortex has been designed to funnel rainwater at a rate of 10,000 gallons per minute. This stream of water will naturally cool the air under the dome, with the captured water will be re-used in the building.
200 species of plant surround the waterfall in an area called the Forest Canopy, with trails for visitors to walk along. Five stories of the Jewel Changi Airport building are filled with shops and restaurants, with an indoor park on the fifth level.
At night the Rain Vortex has a 360-degree light and sound show projected onto it. The new building is connected to Singapore’s public transport system and links terminals one, two and three via pedestrian bridges.
As well as being a portal to the airport, the 134,000-square-metre glass-encased building is meant to be a retail and entertainment destination.
The next time I visit Singapore it seems like I won’t be going a lot farther than the airport. Hope they have a place to stay as well!
