Apartments, kept like a hotel

Skyline Residences is a tower of 150 serviced apartments on Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Boulevard, five minutes on foot from the Dubai Fountain. It was built for the guest who is staying longer than a weekend — the consultant on a three-month project in DIFC, the family between homes, the couple who winter in the sun — and who wants the space of an apartment without giving up the care of a five-star hotel.

Every residence, from the 52 m² studios to the duplex penthouses on the 58th and 59th floors, has its own kitchen, a washer-dryer, a real desk and fibre Wi-Fi. Housekeeping comes every day. Downstairs, the concierge stocks your fridge before you land, registers your car and keeps your parcels; The Pantry bakes in the morning and the Sky Deck pours fresh juice by the pool all afternoon.

On the 42nd floor, the infinity pool faces the Burj Khalifa across the boulevard. On the third, a residents' lounge, a boardroom and the spa. Stay a night, a month or a season: the rate falls the longer you stay, and the bill is one line, utilities included.
