1 Bedroom Apartment in SLS Dubai Hotel & Residences, Business Bay

Some places really slow you down as soon as you step through the door. That is honestly what happened to me walking into this one bedroom loft apartment at SLS Dubai Residences in Business Bay. You come in and there is this instantly different feeling. Maybe it is how the space opens up right away or how the sunlight manages to spill in during nearly every hour of the day. It is the kind of place that feels just right for someone who wants a cool city home but does not actually want to feel boxed in by city living.

What struck me first was the ceiling. Standing there beneath a ceiling that feels miles high, you just look up for a second. Three meters is plenty to breathe, and the walls of glass running right up from the floor really do give you a proper full city view. I remember leaning against the window for a bit and just noticing all the shapes out there. On a clear day you will see the skyline stretch out in that very cinematic Dubai sort of way. You do not just get a little piece of it either, because something clever about how SLS has angled these apartments means your eyes can run straight across the city. Not once did I catch a view of someone else's balcony or window in the way.

The downstairs space feels open and connected. It is not the kind of apartment where you wander through a hallway to get to the living room. Instead, you get a proper living area, a dining space that is not crammed into a corner, and a kitchen that actually seems ready for proper cooking. As someone who gets tired of tiny galley kitchens in the city, I really liked that this one lets you chop and chat at the same time. The terrace sits just off the main room and honestly that extra outdoor bit matters. You can sit outside with morning coffee and watch the city wake up, or you can grab some fresh air without feeling like you are on display. Sometimes you see the lights come on at Burj Khalifa if you look over at the right time.

The details in this SLS loft are definitely not just for show. You will find the tilework is Italian—Lea and you can feel it under your feet, not slippery at all. Appliances are legit professional quality. The names like Hafele and Franke pop up everywhere, and you can tell the cabinetry was built for years not just for looks. I always look to see if kitchens are just for show, but this one feels proper. The light and air work on smart systems so you are not chasing switches all night. Sometimes I just press a button and that is it—lights right for whatever you are up to.

Upstairs, it is quieter. The bedroom sits up above the main space, a bit tucked away, but the whole city is still outside your window. Built in closets are actually useful for real clothes, not just for looks. The bathroom feels more like a proper hotel one than what you sometimes get in city apartments. The finish is, well, you will notice the difference. It just feels easy.

SLS Dubai Residences is right in Business Bay, which actually means everything you need really is close by. Sometimes you catch yourself heading downstairs just because the coffee shop is calling. You are near Downtown Dubai, so it is easy to grab dinner out or meet someone for a walk along the canal. Getting to DIFC is barely a few minutes with traffic on your side. The community puts everything in reach. You see people coming back from work or heading for a swim in the evening. It is pretty lively but not too noisy.

And honest to goodness, these amenities are top notch. Three pools means you never feel crowded. That rooftop infinity pool is high up, and the view just keeps going. There is a proper gym but also a spa if you want to actually relax. If you feel like mixing it up, there is even a rooftop club at the very top. The building runs like a hotel really, with all day valet and a la carte housekeeping.

Buying a one bedroom apartment like this at SLS Dubai really is about how you want to live day to day. I always think the only way to really know if a place fits is to see how it feels.
