Live in the UAE? A Downtown Dubai staycation does not need a flight. Check in to a Sky High apartment at Grande Signature Residences, watch the Dubai Fountain from your balcony, swim in the infinity pool facing the Burj Khalifa and walk to Dubai Mall for dinner. It is a short break that feels like a proper holiday.
Book direct with code GCC for our UAE and GCC guest offer. It is applied automatically on our booking page.
Why a staycation in Downtown Dubai?
- Views you cannot get at home: every SML apartment is on level 36 or above, with direct Burj Khalifa and Dubai Fountain views.
- Room for everyone: 2 and 3 bedroom apartments, so the children have their own room and the adults get a quiet lounge.
- A real kitchen: breakfast on the balcony, snacks for the kids, or a relaxed dinner in.
- Everything on foot: Dubai Mall, the Dubai Fountain, Dubai Opera and the Boulevard are all close by.
- Free parking: one car park with each 2 bedroom apartment and two with each 3 bedroom apartment, so you can drive in from anywhere in the UAE.
