When staying over in Dubai for long durations, the hard part of staying in a hotel is that it gets boring after a while. It’s the same impersonal feel in a hotel room that prevents it from being like a second home to you. If you’re searching for an apartment to stay in, they’ll usually ask for a long-term contract, which wouldn’t be advisable when your stay is shorter than the contract, and if you do take it, you’ll be completely on your own. This is not good, especially when you’re in a foreign city and you don’t want to be bothered by trivial details during your stay.

The pearl residence offers a mixture of upscale hotel accommodations, along with the comfort and home-like feel of a complete apartment. You’ll get to stay in an apartment with the services of a three-star hotel. This is one of the best and most ingenious of solutions to a long-stay dilemma. The budget, yet quality nature of the hotel brings out terrific value over the course of your stay, and you can appreciate the savings it gives you compared to other purely hotel-style accommodations in Dubai.

Apartment-hotel Fusion Accommodations

There are fifty-six one-bedroom apartments at the Pearl Residence, and twenty-eight studios. Aside from this, each offers the convenience of staying in an apartment combined with the comfort of a four-star hotel and its accommodations. You won’t find anything out of the ordinary if your perception is of a hotel room in the Pearl Residence, with individual air conditioning controls, a mini bar and coffee/tea making equipment, and other comforts of home. You’ll also get to have different entertainment options like satellite TV, radio, and a player for your CDs, and internet connection for your computer.

A premium is also placed on privacy and safety when it comes to the hotel facilities, with each room featuring an individual safety deposit boxes and magnetic keys assigned to each door. And the ultimate combination of an apartment and hotel would be the room service available twenty four hours a day, something normal in a hotel, but definitely not available in an apartment.
