1 Bedroom Apartment in Sheraton Grand Hotel, Sheikh Zayed Road

Some places just have a steady heartbeat and honestly this one bedroom apartment at the Sheraton Grand Hotel on Sheikh Zayed Road has exactly that. I walked through and straight away got the vibe that someone could feel at home here even if Dubai is new to them or if they have seen every high-rise in the city. It is on an upper floor so you get those proper city views. I spent a bit just watching the evening lights come on and the metro sliding by in the distance. If you have spent time along Sheikh Zayed Road you know there is always something happening.

The Sheraton Grand itself has a kind of real energy about it. There are staff who genuinely remember people's names. When I walked by the reception the bellman was chatting with a guest about where to find the best shawarma within walking distance—not just pointing at a map. This is one of those hotels that locals actually recommend to their own friends coming in from abroad. Feels like you are a part of something a little bigger.

The apartment itself is fully furnished and move-in ready. It just has this calm feel. The furniture is clean and comfortable but not too modern, not stiff at all. There is an open kitchen that I actually think someone would use, not just look at. The Nespresso machine is already set up. Honestly, the kitchen is just the right size for making a simple breakfast or even inviting someone over for dinner without feeling cramped. I sat at the table for a bit and could see myself reading the news in the morning while the city wakes up outside.

The main bedroom has a real King Size Sheraton Signature bed and it is the sort you might end up lying on longer than planned. I nearly did. It just feels good and there are big windows letting the light in, but with thick curtains so if you want to sleep in, go for it. Both the living room and bedroom have those nice big TVs that honestly make it a bit too tempting to just order in room service and stay in sometimes. Wi-Fi is standard and quick. There is even a dishwasher, washing machine, and a microwave—sometimes people forget how helpful that is until you need them.

You will notice that all the little things are done for you, like there's housekeeping twice a week and parking included which honestly takes some daily stress off. All utilities are included too—no hidden costs popping up late in the month. That is a relief, especially for long stays. If you have ever tried renting in Dubai before you know that is not always a given.

But what quietly sets this place apart is how easy it is to live here without feeling like you are stuck inside a hotel. There is a rooftop swimming pool, and it is actually used by people not just admired in photos. Early mornings you see folks swimming laps or stretching by the pool, the view on the skyline is kind of something else. The fitness centre is not just for show and there is a proper spa with treatments that people from outside come to book. If you feel like staying in but not cooking, there is a nice choice of restaurants and cafes in the building. Some nights you just head downstairs and grab something different, no fuss at all.

One thing that stood out to me is just how close you are to so much. The Dubai Mall is only a few minutes away, and so is the airport if you travel often. The World Trade Centre metro station is a short stroll, even in the heat it does not feel far. Sometimes you see families heading out for brunch or business people grabbing a late coffee on the ground floor.

You get decent discounts for long stay on the food and even treatments at the spa. It adds up, especially if you like to treat yourself once in a while.

If you are looking for furnished one bedroom apartments for rent on Sheikh Zayed Road or specifically the Sheraton Grand Hotel in Dubai, this one is worth a look. You can imagine yourself just living and not worrying about anything else.
