The Diamond Sky

The Diamond Sky: Dubai

This functional studio apartment in Dubai's Deira district is a comfortable base for business travellers and couples alike. While the home is a simple and fuss-free, the large windows are a nice touch, opening up what is otherwise a small space. That said, the big draw here is clearly the communal areas – the outdoor pool has skyline views, and the gym and restaurant may make you delay your urban exploration. Bus stops and metro stations are a short walk away, so you're well-connected here.

Home truths:

*If you're travelling with little ones, your host may be able to provide a cot for free. You'll need to request it in advance.
