The world’s tallest hotel is on track to open in Dubai in the first quarter of 2024, according to the UAE-based property developer First Group. At 365-meters, the 82-story hotel Ciel will be ready early next year, the company announced on Wednesday.

The hotel will feature an observation deck with panoramic views of Dubai’s skyline, the Palm Jumeirah, and the Arabian Gulf on the 81st floor, as well as a rooftop infinity pool and bar on the 76th floor. It also has a 300-meter-tall interior atrium that boasts vertically stacked landscaped and naturally ventilated terraces which will provide occupants with a shared communal and interactive space.

Another Dubai hotel, Gevora Hotel, currently holds the record for the tallest hotel in the world, at 355 meters. The world’s tallest building, also in Dubai, the Burj Khalifa, rises nearly 830 meters off the ground.
