1 Bedroom Apartment in Burj Khalifa Area, Downtown Dubai

Some places just stop you in your tracks as soon as you walk in. This one bedroom apartment in the Burj Khalifa feels like one of those spaces. Maybe it's the tall windows that wrap the living room, so you stand around and end up looking out over Downtown Dubai before you even realize you're not moving. The city looks different from up here. You see the light come in at weirdly beautiful angles. Sometimes you even catch the little bursts of traffic down below and you remember, right, this is literally the tallest man-made building anywhere.

It's a big layout for a one bedroom apartment in Burj Khalifa, actually. The kitchen is a real semi open kitchen—none of those tiny galley types. It's already set up with a SubZero fridge plus the dishwasher and stove you actually want, not just the basics. The marble counters have a smooth classic look. You remember how some kitchens feel like they want to be designer kitchens for photos. This is one you'd actually cook in. It just feels easy to imagine breakfast here with sunlight pouring in. Probably dinner with friends goes long too and it's fine because the living area is honestly big. Sometimes oversized makes a place feel empty, but here it feels open and just the right kind of comfortable.

You'll notice the way sound softens a bit as you walk further in. There's that feeling you get with concrete and marble buildings, somehow solid but not cold. And the bedroom doesn't try too hard either, which I like. Sometimes you stare out the window at the view and you almost forget your phone. Not every place gets that right. The bathroom is right nearby, classes up the small stuff with black and white marble. It just works.

Living in the Burj Khalifa, the elevators are crazy smooth and quick. Probably my favorite little treat is just riding up to the sky lounge on the one hundred twenty third floor. I stopped in for coffee up there and honestly, it's hard to imagine getting tired of those views across Dubai—old town on one side, fountains sparkling down below, and on a clear day the sea feels really close. Residents always have access, and you can bring visitors anytime you want a proper wow moment.

Plus, you get the full five star treatment just walking through the building. The staff always remember your name, which is rare these days anywhere in Downtown Dubai. Then if you're into fitness or swimming, you have discounts at the Burj Club. Not to brag, but the gym really is as good as you've heard, plus the indoor pool is Olympic size, which is not something you see everywhere. The spa is the kind of place that feels quiet even in the middle of the city. And yes—Armani Hotel perks come with the apartment as a resident, so if you ever just want great coffee or somewhere different for dinner, it's basically in your backyard.

The area downstairs is surprisingly peaceful in the early evenings. When I was last there, I actually saw a couple of friends catch up by the fountains. The Dubai Mall is a wander away—never too far if you need to grab a snack or just walk around to clear your head. Taxis are everywhere but you barely notice the traffic noise up here.

With about one thousand one hundred square feet, this is definitely one of the best sized one bedroom apartments anywhere in Downtown Dubai and especially for the price. It's not just a place to sleep, honestly, it feels like somewhere you'll want to spend afternoons and maybe have friends over on weekends. The lifestyle here is really about feeling part of the city, but with your own slice of calm high above it all.

The only way to know if it works for you is really to come see it. If you have questions, or if you just want to walk around the place and look out at the city, get in touch. At LuxuryProperty.com we just want your next move to feel good and never rushed.
