Ciel Dubai Marina: Odd Plot Created World's Tallest Hotel

• Ciel Dubai Marina is now the world's tallest hotel, standing 377 meters tall with 82 storeys.
• Its record-breaking height was an unplanned outcome, driven by the constraints of an irregular, compact 3,600 sqm plot of land.
• Architect Yahya Jan noted the challenging site required building upward to meet commercial needs and innovative structural solutions.
• The hotel features one of the world's highest infinity pools on the 76th floor and 1,004 rooms with floor-to-ceiling windows.

Why It Matters: Constraints can unexpectedly drive architectural innovation and world records.
