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

Some homes just have a certain kind of presence even before you open the door. This one bedroom duplex apartment at SLS Dubai Residences in Business Bay is definitely like that. When I walked in for the first time it felt both impressive and relaxed. The sort of feeling where you can actually imagine coming home after a busy day in Downtown Dubai or even just sitting quietly with a coffee, letting the city sink in around you. There is a real sense of space here. You feel it right away. The living room is wide and airy and you get these floor to ceiling windows that let in just the right amount of natural light. I stood in the living area for a while watching the skyline beyond. Seriously you have views that stretch right across the city and you are high up enough that you get the sense of really being part of Dubai without any of that noise or rush from below.

The apartment itself is arranged over two levels which makes everything more interesting. Downstairs, the living, dining and kitchen spaces just flow together. You can actually host friends and not feel boxed in at all. I noticed the kitchen is not just for show. It is fitted out with these really solid German and Italian appliances plus there is actually enough counter space to cook something proper without bumping elbows. Even the flooring feels special underfoot, courtesy of this Italian brand called Lea that is cool and smooth to touch.

And you get your own private balcony right off the living area. I spent a few minutes out there just leaning on the railing watching the cars inch along Business Bay and honestly you almost forget your phone for a second. Upstairs is even better. There is a spacious bedroom suite with its own little sitting and study corner. It is not just a spot to sleep. You can read or maybe work on your laptop tucked into that space and it still feels like home not an office. There is a walk in closet with more than enough room for your whole wardrobe and the master bathroom looks and feels like the kind of place you want to take your time in. Double sinks, sleek fixtures and plenty of storage means you actually use it comfortably every morning. Plus a second private balcony upstairs for slow weekend mornings or late nights when the temperature finally drops a little.

You will notice small things that just make life feel easy here. Lighting and temperature controls are smart and work with just a touch thanks to Lutron. The finishings and fittings are all names you see in high end interior magazines but here you can actually live with them every day. Brands like Hafele and Schuco and Villeroy and Boch are behind all the taps, corners and handles. It just feels sorted. You get a sense that real thought went into every inch.

SLS Dubai Residences puts you right in the heart of Business Bay. You can zip to DIFC or Downtown Dubai in minutes. The tower itself is something else. Residents here have access to three pools so if you want to swim with a view you are sorted. There is a well equipped gym and a spa for when you need to unwind properly. People sometimes forget you get a private feeling here even though you are right in the middle of everything. Downstairs, the valet parking takes any stress out of coming home especially on those evenings when traffic is heavy. There is also a multipurpose space if you ever want to host a gathering or birthday close to home.

Up the top there is The Crown that is just as impressive. Two signature restaurants if you do not feel like cooking. One of the highest infinity pools in Dubai and a rooftop lounge and nightclub so you never really have to go too far for something new. The sky lobby feels more like a hotel. Sometimes you see people catching up with a coffee and the view almost steals the conversation.

What I really like about this apartment is how it does not feel like a hotel suite although you get all the benefits. From the design to the way the spaces connect you always feel comfortable. Sometimes in the evening you will catch that golden light filtering through onto the living room floor and it just makes you want to stay in.
