  1. Ciel Dubai Marina, Vignette Collection by IHG

    Stay 73
    Save to a list Write a review On the Way Around

    The name means "sky" in French, which tracks for a tower standing 377 meters above Dubai Marina, currently the tallest hotel on earth. Over a thousand rooms keep it from feeling intimate, but floor-to-ceiling glass and a restrained contemporary palette make the scale work. The open-air pool hangs at altitude with nothing but city below, and a gap in the tower's structure creates an outdoor perch that is difficult to play it cool about.

Eat Score

The score comes from the awards it's won, weighted by who gave them: a Michelin star outweighs a listicle. When you sort by what's nearby, distance changes the order, never the score.

      Stay Score

      Four fifths of the score is the awards it's won, weighted by who gave them: a Michelin Key outweighs a listicle. The last fifth is where it is: the ranked places to eat and things to do around it, and how safe the country is. When you sort by what's nearby, distance from you changes the order, never the score.

          Best Place Score

          The Best Place Score rates the area around a point, not any one place. The places are 60% of it: the best of what's within reach, weighed by distance. The setting is the other 40%: how life goes in that country (how people rate their own lives, how long and how well they live, how safe they are) and what it's like right there (the air, and the weather). If the score looks low, we probably haven't found enough critics out here yet.
