About Gevora Hotel

Originally planned to include residential units, the Gevora Hotel is centrally located on Sheikh Zayed Road in the financial district of Dubai and became the world's tallest all-hotel building upon completion. The façade features a simple, classic design with many windows on every floor to allow a generous amount of sunlight into the building. Each corner of the rectangular building features gold-colored façade elements, which taper into a pyramidal crown structure at the top. Builders employed a caisson foundation system during construction to help stabilize the structure.
