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

Some homes just have a certain way of making you pause before you even realize you are doing it. This one bedroom loft apartment up in SLS Dubai Residences… I have to say, my first reaction was just to go a bit quiet and look up. It is not every day you walk into a place where the ceilings stretch up for more than seven metres and you feel the air shift around you. It is the kind of spot where light settles in all afternoon, bouncing around from those floor to ceiling windows and making everything just a bit brighter. You get the sense right away this is not your average home in Business Bay.

SLS Dubai Residences itself kind of stands tall and proud among the other towers on Marasi Drive. It is one of the tallest buildings in the city, and yes, you do notice. Even before you reach the front doors you can sense the building is special. The honeycomb facade actually gives the building a texture that is a little playful but never over the top. It is pretty cool when you start to realize how that design catches the light by morning, and then again differently when the sun is setting behind the Burj Khalifa. Sometimes I stand on the terrace and watch how the view keeps changing through the day. From up here you just see Downtown Dubai in a way you do not really see from the street. The Burj Khalifa stands out sharp but you can also look off towards Dubai Creek. Feels like a private piece of the skyline all to yourself. Some evenings you might spot birds catching the wind currents below.

Inside the apartment, the vibe is open and upbeat but also practical. The living area does not feel formal or stiff at all. I noticed that it is an easy space to just relax or watch something, maybe have friends over without feeling cramped. The open kitchen is not one of those “show only” kitchens. It is laid out so you could really cook a meal, make coffees fresh in the morning, or simply stand around snacking while whoever is cooking talks with everyone gathered nearby. There is a powder room tucked off to the side on the lower level, which is handy when people come by unexpectedly.

Head up the well lit staircase and you end up in a bedroom that never feels boxy or closed. There is enough space above your head to move and think and not feel hemmed in. You have a built in closet so everything stays tidy. The attached bathroom has solid finishes and there is always that nice natural light coming through somehow, even in the mornings when you are getting ready for work. It just makes the ordinary routines feel a little better. You can actually leave your phone behind for a bit while you get sorted for the day.

The best thing about living in SLS Dubai Residences, though, is how life up here feels so private and peaceful… yet the most interesting parts of the city are all around you. Walking downstairs, you pass through bright, welcoming spaces with clever design. The rooftop is where everything really opens up; honestly, it is hard not to smile when you reach the infinity pools. You get this view out over all of Downtown Dubai, so sometimes you just end up watching the city move while you take a swim or sit with a book. In the evenings, the restaurant buzz picks up between SLS's own venues and others in Business Bay a stone's throw away. The coffee shop is never far, and daylight seems to last a bit longer when you are this high up.

The amenities really cover a lot. There is a smart looking gym where you get the urge to actually use it. A spa for lazy weekends. Multipurpose rooms if you ever have a get together. And if you need it, housekeeping or valet parking are just a call away. You fall into a routine that is stylish but not stiff. That is the real secret here.

If you are looking for a place that is equal parts central, peaceful, and seriously inviting, this one bedroom apartment at SLS Dubai Residences could feel just right. The only way to know for sure is to come and see it for yourself. I am around if you want to walk through or just ask some casual questions.
