Things to do around Business Bay & Downtown
From the Burj Khalifa observation deck to the Dubai Fountain show, this is the most-photographed corner of the city — and the bulk of it is walkable from the apartments.
Burj Khalifa observation deck
The world's tallest building at 828 m, with two observation decks — At The Top (Level 124/125) and the higher SKY lounge (Level 148). Sunset slots sell out first; book a few days ahead for the best light and a clear view down the Sheikh Zayed Road skyline.
Dubai Fountain show
The world's tallest performing fountain, choreographed to music with jets reaching 150 m, in front of the Burj Khalifa. Shows run every 30 minutes from 6 PM — watch from the Burj Lake promenade, from Souk Al Bahar's terraces, or from a Dubai Fountain Boardwalk ticket on the water.
The Dubai Mall
The largest shopping mall in the world — 1,200+ stores, the Dubai Aquarium & Underwater Zoo, KidZania, an Olympic-size ice rink and the VR Park. Bring comfortable shoes; even just walking the loop is a workout, and the food courts run from a Maharashtrian dabba to three-Michelin-star dining.
Burj Park & Burj Lake promenade
A landscaped park ringing the Burj Lake with the Burj Khalifa rising above it. Perfect for the morning coffee walk, an evening fountain-show picnic, or just an unbeatable photo. Connected by a pedestrian bridge to Souk Al Bahar.
Souk Al Bahar
An Arabian-style market on the Burj Lake with traditional decor and dozens of restaurants — Karma Kafé, Asia Asia, Toro Toro, Hutong, Mythos and the rooftop venues that overlook the fountain show. The best sunset dining in Downtown.
Dubai Opera
A 2,000-seat dhow-shaped opera house at the foot of the Burj Khalifa with a programme spanning opera, ballet, classical concerts, comedy and Broadway tours. Pre-show drinks on the rooftop terrace are a Dubai-night highlight.
Dubai Water Canal
The 3.2 km man-made canal that loops Business Bay back to Jumeirah Beach, with a waterfall feature, pedestrian and cycle paths and four pedestrian bridges. The evening canal walk past lit-up towers is the best free thing to do in BB.
~15 min driveLandmarkThe Dubai Frame
A 150 m-tall picture frame in Zabeel Park with a glass-floored sky bridge between the two pillars. The view splits the city — old Dubai from one side, new Dubai from the other — and is unbelievable at golden hour.
Dubai skyline by night
The cluster of skyscrapers around the Burj Khalifa is the single most-photographed skyline in the Middle East. Set up by the lake at dusk for the city lights, the fountain show and the Burj's LED display all in one shot.
Hotel apartments in Business Bay & Downtown Dubai — Burj-side stays
Business Bay and Downtown Dubai are the city's two most central neighbourhoods, separated only by the Dubai Water Canal and a short walk. Our collection covers both: from canal-front Business Bay studios in Reva, Vera and Bayz Tower to Downtown Dubai apartments at The Address Residences, 29 Boulevard and the Opera District — all with full kitchens, fast Wi-Fi, hotel-grade housekeeping and 24-hour building reception. Stay a night, a week or a month, and book direct for the best rate.
Because every home is fully managed by Deluxe Holiday Homes, there's no third-party platform fee, no surprise cleaning charge and a local team on hand from check-in to check-out. Live availability and the exact price for your dates appear inline — no waiting for a quote.
Walk to the Burj, the Mall and the Fountain
These aren't generic Dubai stays — they're inside the most-photographed square mile of the city. From most apartments you can be at the Dubai Mall in fifteen minutes, the Burj Khalifa observation deck in twelve, the Dubai Fountain show on time without booking a car, and at the Dubai Opera in ten. Dubai Metro Red Line (Business Bay station) is at the door.
Hotel apartments vs hotel rooms — why it's better value
A Business Bay or Downtown hotel apartment gives you a full kitchen, a separate living area and a private balcony — at a comparable nightly rate to a smaller hotel room in the same district. For couples on a longer stay, for families and for friends sharing, the difference is huge: cook breakfast, host a casual dinner, spread out, and still have housekeeping take care of the rest.
Monthly stays in Business Bay & Downtown
Working remotely from Dubai, relocating, or staying for a season? Most of our Business Bay and Downtown apartments are available for monthly stays at a meaningfully lower nightly rate, with utilities, Wi-Fi, building maintenance and housekeeping handled. Send an inquiry with your move-in date and length of stay for a tailored monthly offer.

Where is Business Bay & Downtown Dubai?
Business Bay is the canal-side commercial-and-residential district right behind Sheikh Zayed Road, and Downtown Dubai is the adjoining cluster around the Burj Khalifa, Dubai Mall and Dubai Opera. They share the Dubai Water Canal and pedestrian bridges, so a stay in either puts the city's biggest landmarks within walking distance. Dubai Metro Red Line stops at Business Bay and Burj Khalifa/Dubai Mall stations.

Frequently asked questions
Are the apartments in Business Bay or Downtown Dubai?
Both. Our 117-stay collection covers Business Bay (the canal-front towers behind Sheikh Zayed Road — Reva, Vera, Bayz, Zada, Aykon City, Damac Prive and others) and the adjoining Downtown Dubai cluster (The Address Residences, Opera, 29 Boulevard, Standpoint and South Ridge). The two neighbourhoods are 10–15 minutes apart on foot and share the Dubai Water Canal.
Can I walk to the Burj Khalifa and Dubai Mall from the apartment?
Yes from almost any. Business Bay apartments are 10–15 minutes' walk to the Dubai Mall via the canal bridges; Downtown apartments are 5–10 minutes. The Burj Khalifa observation deck entrance is inside the Dubai Mall.
Do the apartments have Burj Khalifa views?
Many do. Look for buildings on the Downtown side (The Address Residences, 29 Boulevard, Standpoint) and high floors of canal-front Business Bay towers (Reva, Zada, Binghatti Canal) — these face the Burj directly. Send an inquiry with your dates and we'll confirm the exact view for any apartment you're considering.
Can I book by the night, week or month?
All three. Nightly, weekly and monthly stays are available and the price you see is the live, exact rate for your dates. Monthly stays typically unlock a meaningfully lower nightly rate — send an inquiry with your dates for a tailored monthly quote.
How much does a Business Bay hotel apartment cost?
Nightly rates start from around AED 205 for a compact studio or 1-bed in Business Bay and rise with size, view, season and demand. Downtown Dubai stays are typically 10–25% higher for the same size. The price you see in the listings is the real, live rate for your selected dates with no hidden fees.
What time is check-in and check-out?
Standard check-in is from 3:00 PM and check-out is by 11:00 AM. Early check-in or late check-out is often possible — just ask when you reserve and we'll do our best to accommodate based on the calendar.
What's included in the apartment?
Every stay is fully furnished with a full kitchen (oven, hob, fridge, kettle, microwave, cookware), complimentary high-speed Wi-Fi, air conditioning, fresh linen and towels and a professional clean before arrival. Most buildings also include a shared pool, gym, sauna and 24-hour reception.
Is parking available?
Most apartments come with one allocated covered parking bay per unit in the tower car park. The exact number of bays per apartment is confirmed on the booking — please mention if you're arriving in more than one car.
Are pets allowed?
Pet policies vary by building and by owner. Some accept well-behaved small pets, others don't. Please send us an inquiry with your dates and pet details and we'll confirm a pet-friendly apartment for you.
How do I get around Dubai without a car?
Easily from Business Bay or Downtown. The Dubai Metro Red Line has stations at Business Bay and Burj Khalifa/Dubai Mall — both walkable from most apartments. Taxis and ride-hailing are abundant and inexpensive. The canal walkway and Burj-Mall pedestrian bridges connect every major Downtown attraction without ever needing a car.
Are Business Bay and Downtown safe and family-friendly?
Very. Both neighbourhoods are among Dubai's most family-friendly, with a well-lit canal walkway, kid-friendly attractions (Dubai Aquarium, KidZania, the Dubai Fountain) and family restaurants. Buildings are gated with 24-hour reception and CCTV.
When is the best time to visit Dubai?
October to April is peak season — warm comfortable weather and the busiest Downtown events. May to September is hot but quieter, with the best value nightly rates, fully air-conditioned indoor everything (the Dubai Mall is enormous) and the building pool to cool off in.
Can the apartments accommodate large groups or events?
Several of our apartments are 2 and 3-bedroom units that comfortably host larger families or groups. For a party or event we'd recommend booking two adjacent apartments in the same tower — message us with the group size and dates and we'll suggest a combination.
How far is the airport from Business Bay?
Dubai International Airport (DXB) is about 17 km / 18 minutes by taxi. Al Maktoum (DWC) is about 50 km / 40 minutes. The Metro Red Line runs directly between Business Bay and DXB Terminals 1 and 3.
Can you arrange airport transfers?
Yes — we can arrange a private airport pickup or drop-off in a sedan or van, with the driver tracking your flight. Mention it in your inquiry with your flight number and we'll quote the transfer up front.
How do I pay, and is a security deposit required?
You book direct with Deluxe Holiday Homes — no third-party platform fees. A refundable security deposit may apply per apartment, returned after check-out subject to the apartment's condition. The exact amount is shown for your selected dates before you confirm.
What is your cancellation policy?
Cancellation terms vary by apartment and dates; the applicable policy is shown clearly before you confirm your reservation. For the specific terms on an apartment you're considering, send us an inquiry and we'll spell them out.
