Vertical glass showpiece
Soaring 82 storeys high, the glass sculpture creates an airy vertical retreat where breezy open terraces foster a serene, light-filled atmosphere.
“Envisioned as a haven of calm, the 1,004 rooms prioritize simplicity (clean lines and neutral tones) over spectacle, letting the focus remain squarely on the marina vistas.”
What it’s good at
Remarkable
A 377-meter glass tower featuring an eye-of-the-needle aperture and a 300-meter atrium with vertically stacked sky gardens.
Notable
A 76th-floor infinity sky pool gazing over the marina alongside the high-altitude Alera Spa on level 61.
Listed
Accommodations with floor-to-ceiling glass, deep-soaking bathtubs, and panoramic vistas stretching across Palm Jumeirah and the Arabian Gulf.
What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
Also in Forbes Travel Guide and AFAR.
It’s all glass and open space, both in the bedrooms and in the public spaces.
In a lively part of town
Where things happen: restaurants, shops, people.
Set directly in Dubai Marina, the tower offers immediate access to the waterfront boardwalk promenade, Marina Mall, and nearby JBR Beach.
The rooms
Floor-to-ceiling glass frames panoramas of Palm Jumeirah, while restrained interiors feature stone murals in smoky grays and deep-soaking bathtubs in select suites.
The rooftop pool
Bring a swimsuit.
The 76th-floor infinity pool curves along the building's glass edge, looking out across the harbor and distant islands.
The spa
At Alera Spa, marble treatment suites and contoured relaxation loungers look straight out over the sea.
The sky terrace
Open-air daybeds and a circular terrace bar sit tucked between the towering glass walls.
Dogs stay too.
At the table
Intimate booths sit beneath vaulted timber ceilings, and open-air cocktail terraces look over the marina at sunset.
Interiors draw on natural elements like water, fire, and earth for inspiration. But the views are the real star of the show: All 1,004 rooms and suites will have floor-to-ceiling windows.
How it began
Conceived by architect Yahya Jan at NORR and opened in 2025, the 377-metre tower officially holds the Guinness record for the world's tallest hotel.
