Ciel Dubai Marina (Ciel Tower)

The building is complete and operating as a hotel under IHG's Vignette Collection, so a buyer is not exposed to construction or handover risk. DLD-based records show 1,638 registered sales, with the newest on 4 November 2026, so the units do change hands.

Entry price per sq ft is far above the neighbourhood. PropertyIndex models AED 7,659 per sq ft against a Dubai Marina median of AED 2,671, and that model price is down 4.6% year on year. The three newest visible sales were studios of 84 to 166 sq ft at AED 750,000 to AED 1.32 million, so the ticket is small but the rate per sq ft is high.

No return can be read from the listed sources. PropertyIndex shows gross yield as not available and has only 9 registered rent contracts against 1,638 sales; hotel-room investors earn through the operator rather than through Ejari leases. The First Group has said it does not publish prices online, and the revenue-sharing terms for individual or fractional owners were not found.

Ownership structure matters more here than for a normal apartment. Gulf News (2022) reports buyers can take individual rooms or fractional shares, and the IHG announcement says ownership and management sit with First Group entities without disclosing contract terms or fees. A buyer should read the unit's management and revenue-sharing agreement and the service charge before relying on any figure on this page.

Facts about the building are not settled across sources. Height is 377 m (Gulf News, Wikipedia), 373.5 m (CTBUH) or 365 m (earlier press); floors are 82 or 81; rooms 1,004 or 1,042. The 'tallest hotel' claim is made by the press and the developer; the CTBUH record lists it as 65th tallest building in the world, so the hotel-only ranking itself was not checked against a CTBUH hotel list here.

Resale supply is visible: Property Finder shows 91 resale properties in the project while listing the developer's own stock as sold out. The 'typical' unit price is about AED 1.09 million (a model figure). The record also lists 2,627 registered units against 1,004 rooms and suites, which the sources do not reconcile, so counts and per-unit statistics should be read with care.

Schedule history: in March 2022 and March 2023 the developer targeted completion in Q4 2023 or early 2024 and opening in H1 or late 2024; the hotel opened on 15 November 2025. No source reviewed calls this a delay or explains it. The CTBUH page lists completion as 2024, which conflicts with the 2025 opening reports.
