World’s new tallest hotel to open in Dubai

Dubai will become the home of the world’s new tallest hotel in the coming weeks as the Gevora prepares to opens its doors.

The emirate already held the record for the world’s tallest hotel since the opening of the 355m JW Marriott Marquis in 2012m but the new hotel will surpass this by one metre to stand at 356m, according to What’s On.
