The Guinness World Record breaking hotel is just 1 metre taller than the previous record holder…
It is just one metre taller than the 77-storey JW Marriott Marquis, but the new Gevora Hotel on 101 Sheikh Zayed Road is officially the world’s tallest hotel (as a single building). It stands 356 metres above the ground.
Gevora, which spans an impressive 75 floors, features 528 rooms, five restaurants and an al fresco pool deck which looks out over Downtown Dubai.
The four-star, unlicensed hotel is set to offer guests some unique extras too, with a dedicated butler assigned to each room. It’s also got some pretty swanky interiors, including plush bedrooms, contemporary finishes in the lobby and a luxe-looking fitness centre.
The homegrown, independently run hotel opened in the middle of February, but they have just announced that they will be charging Dh100 for people to visit their rooftop, which offers Burj Khalifa and Emirates Towers views.
The rooftop is now open and it costs Dh100 for adults and Dh50 for those aged 6 to 12 to go up to the top of the hotel (children under 6 can visit for free). The viewing deck is open from 10am to 9pm daily, and anyone who buys a ticket can then have a pastry and drink at Le Veyron cafe on the house. (Note: You will have to redeem your pastry and drink on the same day as you visit the hotel’s rooftop.)
