The First Group has proudly announced that its flagship hotel, Ciel, is well on track to be completed in Q1 2024, in Dubai, UAE. With 82 stories, Ciel is a stunning architectural achievement that will soon become the world’s tallest hotel. It is a significant addition to The First Group’s impressive portfolio of top-tier hotels, which are helping to elevate the standard of hospitality in the UAE.
From a design standpoint, Ciel is The First Group’s largest and most complex project to date. It demonstrates the power of Integrated Design, a multi-layered process required for the construction of complex superstructures.
Ciel’s superstructure is nearly finished, and the mechanical, electrical, and plumbing (MEP) work for the basement, podium floors, and story levels is about 80% complete.
The First Group’s Ciel Hotel Set to Redefine Hospitality with Unmatched Design and Amenities
The installation process for the building’s façade brackets has been finished up until the 72nd floor, while the curtain wall installation is presently ongoing and has made it up to the 70th floor.
At this point, the convey system installation has reached 53% completion, and the structural steel fixation in the atrium has been fully accomplished. Regarding the tiling work, it has been 66% completed, while wall partitioning and plastering installation has reached 97% completion.
The First Group’s CEO, Rob Burns, expressed his excitement about Ciel, a groundbreaking project that will not only redefine upscale hospitality but also showcase the best of what Dubai has to offer. Despite the pandemic’s challenges, they are making excellent progress and are on track to open the property in 2024.
Ciel will provide guests with an unforgettable experience, complete with a one-of-a-kind design, luxurious amenities, and breathtaking views. Burns sees Ciel as more than just a structure; it represents Dubai’s ambition, innovation, creativity, and excellence.
Ciel is a remarkable feat of engineering and design created in collaboration with NORR, The First Group’s long-term architectural partner. It has several unique features that set it apart from other hotels in the area.
The observation deck on the 81st floor is one of the hotel’s most impressive features, offering guests unparalleled panoramic views of Dubai’s skyline, Palm Jumeirah, and the Arabian Gulf. This observation deck, which provides a stunning bird’s eye view of the city’s most iconic landmarks, is sure to be a major draw for both tourists and residents.
Ciel’s rooftop infinity pool and bar on the 76th floor are other standout features. This is the perfect spot for guests to unwind and take in the breathtaking views of the city while enjoying a refreshing drink or swim.
One of the most remarkable features of the hotel is its 300-meter-tall interior atrium, which runs throughout the building’s height. It consists of landscaped and naturally ventilated terraces that are vertically stacked, providing guests with a shared and interactive space.
Furthermore, the auditorium serves as a natural light well, allowing sunlight to pass through the building’s interior, which creates an impressive visual impact.
Ciel, the world’s tallest hotel, boasts a design that reflects its iconic status. The hotel’s innovative and awe-inspiring design has garnered several prestigious awards. In 2019, Ciel was the recipient of three International Property Awards, including Best International Hotel Architecture, Best Hotel Architecture Arabia, and Best Residential High-rise Architecture Arabia.
The IPAs are renowned for recognizing excellence in the global real estate industry, making Ciel’s achievements a testament to its outstanding design and architectural innovation.
Ciel also received four top awards at the 2019-2020 Dubai, Africa, and Arabia Property Awards. These included awards for Hotel Architecture, New Hotel Construction and Design, Commercial High-rise Development, and Residential High-rise Architecture.
These accolades attest to the hotel’s exceptional design and ability to raise the bar in the hospitality industry.
