The UAE’s new world’s tallest hotel, Ciel Dubai Marina<\/a>, hasn’t officially opened yet, but it’s already welcomed a Hollywood actor.<\/p>\n

Aquaman<\/i> star Jason Momoa visited the property on Saturday to launch Meili, his drink brand. The casually dressed actor was seen posing for a photograph with staff wearing the brand’s logo. <\/p>\n

The visit was part of the partnership with The First Group Hospitality, which manages Ciel Dubai Marina. <\/p>\n

Momoa also stars in sci-fi epic Dune: Part Three<\/a>, which is scheduled to resume filming in Abu Dhabi’s Liwa desert this month. Both Dune <\/i>and Dune: Part Two, <\/i>which were major box office blockbusters, were also shot in Abu Dhabi, with Liwa’s vast open landscape serving as the setting for the fictional planet Arrakis. Alongside Momoa, the film’s stars Timothee Chalamet, Zendaya, Florence Pugh, Javier Bardem and Josh Brolin are all set to return to film, joined by franchise newcomer Robert Pattinson.<\/p>\n

UAE casting agency, Miranda Davidson Studios<\/a>, has been advertising to fill roles for extras in a \u201cHollywood blockbuster\u201d being filmed in the UAE capital. While the exact dates of the shoots are yet to be confirmed, the agency said the expected job date was between October and November.<\/p>\n

Momoa is no stranger to the UAE. In 2023, he was named Yas Island Abu Dhabi\u2019s chief island officer<\/a> and appeared in several promotional videos for the entertainment destination.<\/p>\n

Standing 377 metres tall, Ciel Dubai Marina will officially become the world’s tallest hotel when it opens. It will overtake the current title holder, the 356-metre-tall Gevora Hotel<\/a>, located along Dubai’s Sheikh Zayed Road.<\/p>\n

While an official launch date for the property is yet to be revealed, reservations are now available for stays from November 15, with rates starting at Dh2,328 per night for a deluxe room.<\/p>\n

With 1,004 rooms across 82 floors, Ciel will be managed under the Vignette Collection brand, which is owned by the IHG Hotels & Resorts, and features one-of-a-kind properties.<\/p>\n

It will also earn a few additional world records, including the world’s highest infinity pool and world’s highest club, when these are officially certified by the Guinness World Records.<\/a><\/p>\n

The pool and club are part of Tattu Dubai<\/a>, the first international branch of the Manchester-born fine-dining modern Asian restaurant chain, scheduled to open on Friday. Owned by the Permanently Unique Group, with restaurants in London, Manchester, Leeds, Birmingham and Edinburgh, Tattu Dubai will occupy three levels of Ciel Dubai Marina. This includes the main restaurant and bar on level 74, Tattu Sky Pool on level 76 and Tattu Sky Lounge and Terrace on level 81.<\/p>\n

At 310 metres high, Tattu Sky Pool will overtake the current highest infinity pool record-holder at the nearby Address Beach Resort<\/a>, which is located 294 metres above ground, on the hotel\u2019s 77th floor, and was certified in 2021.<\/p>\n
