Luxury One-Bedroom Apartment at Armani Residences, Burj Khalifa

Some places almost feel like you are inside a movie and I honestly got that feeling the first time I walked into this one bedroom at Armani Residences. You are right in the Burj Khalifa which is still sort of hard to believe even when you are actually there looking out over Downtown Dubai. It is not just about being inside the tallest building in the world. There is this sense of calm that kind of sneaks up on you the second you open the door. I remember just pausing for a second by the entrance. The city is buzzing below but up here it feels really quiet.

The apartment is not what you would expect from most city homes. Sometimes you get these narrow spaces in the middle of Dubai but this place just stretches out. The open plan living and dining area lets in so much light that I found myself just standing by the windows for a while. The way the sunlight falls across the floor during the day is kind of special. There is a good view of the city. You really get that Downtown Dubai skyline feeling any time you want. The windows are those full height ones so when you wake up in the bedroom you can see the sunrise without having to get out of bed which is honestly one of my favourite little things here.

You will probably notice that the kitchen is more than just a showpiece. It has that look of something out of a designer magazine of course you would expect nothing less in Armani Residences but the setup feels perfect for real life meals. There is space to cook and even if you are the type who just makes coffee in the morning you can sip and stare down at the fountains or just watch the city wake up. Everything in this apartment just fits the name. Armani did the interiors himself and you kind of feel it everywhere from the walls to the smallest details in the bathroom. The storage actually works too which is always something most people miss until it matters.

Now another thing I really appreciated here is how easy it is. The smart home system basically means you can set the lights or the temperature without moving from the sofa. You can control the curtains or set the mood for a quiet night in. Security feels solid. And you will never worry about losing your keys or any of those little hassles. If you want anything at all you just call down to the hotel team and it gets done. Housekeeping is always on hand. There is a spa right in the building. If you feel like swimming you can. Or if you want to just sit in the hotel lounge downstairs and read for a bit no one will bother you.

Honestly it is a bit of a step up from even the best places in Downtown Dubai. The Burj Khalifa area is often busy just outside but living here you basically have a quiet corner to yourself. The Dubai Mall is never far. People watching from here is better than any movie especially at sunset. Sometimes you see all sorts walking through the boulevard below but from up here it is just restful.

This apartment could fit many different lives. If you need a main home in Dubai it feels easy to settle in. If you are here for work or travel and want a lock it and leave it sort of place it feels right too. There is always somebody at the front desk. The gym is a real gym not just a treadmill and there is always a fresh towel when you need one.

You kind of have to come see this one for yourself. Let me know if you want to walk through or just want to have a chat about life in Armani Residences. At LuxuryProperty.com we want things to feel real and comfortable and help you see if this could be your next home.
