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

Some homes really do surprise you as soon as you step inside. This one bedroom duplex apartment in SLS Dubai Residences did just that for me the first time I visited. It almost made me stop for a second to just look around. There is this softness in the air and you feel almost protected from all the rush of Business Bay outside. The lobby is filled with light, thanks to the floor to ceiling glass, and you forget for a moment you have just left that busy Dubai street behind.

Once you step through the door, the open plan layout just works. It is hard to explain until you are inside but nothing ever feels cramped in here. The living room flows right out onto the terrace, and I always find myself pausing at that doorway. The view over Business Bay is one of those, with city towers and a proper skyline stretching out in front of you. During the day sunlight just pours in, and in the evening, there is that warm city glow that makes you want to sit outside and just take it easy. Plus, this does not feel like one of those apartments where the balcony is just for show. You can tell someone actually sits out there with coffee in the mornings or chats with a friend in the evening while the world goes by down below.

The kitchen is right next to the living area and is fully fitted with everything modern, but it actually feels practical. You can imagine making a proper meal, or just ordering pizza and watching a movie, and nobody would mind either way. Downstairs there is also a powder room and I never realized before how useful that is until you have got someone visiting or you are coming in with bags and need to just stop for a second.

What really grabs your attention as you walk around is the staircase. It is solid underfoot, made from real wood, and I remember thinking that it adds just the right touch. There is a bit of drama looking up and walking to the bedroom, but not in a showy way. It feels like you are heading to your own quiet space, which is exactly what you get upstairs.

The upper floor is where the bedroom stretches out and you get this genuine sense of calm. There are long windows that make sure, even on mornings when the sun gets up early, it does not wake you before you are ready. The closets are deep and built in so if storage is something you need, you just will not run out. The en suite bathroom is bright and clean, and the lighting around the mirror somehow just makes those workday mornings a little more bearable. If you are someone who likes light, I think you will be happy here. Sometimes you almost forget your phone and just end up looking out the window for a while.

Life at SLS Dubai Residences is more relaxed than you expect. You can tell from the start the staff actually recognize the people who live here, and there is this subtle friendliness you pick up on. The pools are really popular in the afternoons and you will often hear people talking about the gym or making plans for a spa session on the lift down. Sometimes I see a group meeting for coffee in the lobby, or just heading across to Downtown Dubai for a walk because it is that close. For anyone who works from home, there is a business room downstairs when a change of scene helps. Plus, if you want groceries or a coffee shop, they are never far away.

This is just a genuinely comfortable one bedroom apartment for sale in SLS Dubai Hotel and Residences. If you want to feel close to Downtown Dubai and DIFC, but still have a peaceful spot of your own, it is really worth seeing in person. Like with most places, the feeling when you walk in tells you more than any photos or tours. If you want to have a look or just chat about what it is really like here at different hours of the day, I am always around. At LuxuryProperty.com we really just want your next move in Dubai to feel simple and easy.
