Properties for rent in SLS Dubai Hotel & Residences

SLS Dubai Hotel & Residences is a branded tower on the eastern edge of Business Bay, developed by World of Wonders and operated under the SLS hospitality label by Ennismore. It rises 75 floors, mixing hotel keys with private residences on the upper levels. 

The look is dark, glossy, and design-led, with two rooftop pools, a spa, a gym, and several in-house restaurants and lounges. You share the lobby with hotel guests, and that sets the tone. The rental stock leans toward furnished studios, one-bed lofts, and duplex layouts, with a handful of larger two-bed duplexes on higher floors. 

Units are handed over styled and ready to move into, which is why most tenants sign for fully furnished stays. Rents sit at the premium end for Business Bay, reflecting the branding, the finishes, and the serviced-building running costs. Most renters here are young professionals and executives on shorter postings who want a turnkey base near DIFC and Downtown. 

Investors also use it for short-stay income, so you'll notice a transient rhythm in the corridors. It's less suited to families needing space and school-run routines. On connectivity, you're a short drive from Sheikh Zayed Road and the Al Khail Road, with the Burj Khalifa/Dubai Mall metro roughly a ten-minute drive. Business Bay traffic gets heavy at peak hours, and the nearest metro isn't walkable in summer, so a car or ride-hail habit helps.

SLS Dubai Hotel & Residences sits on the Business Bay side of the canal, a mixed-use tower where the rental stock leans toward studios, one-bedroom lofts, and duplex layouts. 

Studios typically start around 650 sq ft, one-bedroom units run roughly 1,000 to 1,200 sq ft, and larger two-bedroom duplexes stretch past 1,800 sq ft. Floor level, furniture package, and Burj Khalifa views drive most of the pricing spread inside the building. 

Higher-floor furnished lofts and corner duplexes sit at the top of the range, while lower studios anchor the entry point. Hotel service access and pool decks add to the premium here.

If you're renting near SLS Dubai Hotel & Residences but want lower entry rents, look at the surrounding Business Bay towers. Vera Residences sits a short walk away and works well for studios and one-beds on tighter budgets. 

Reva Residences, on the canal side, is another practical option with smaller layouts and quick access to Marasi Drive. The Pad, with its tilted facade, tends to attract young professionals who want a quirky building without paying downtown prices. All three keep you inside the same postcode as SLS.

For renters who want the SLS lifestyle or something close to it, the building itself leads the pack, with lofts and duplexes finished in Italian cabinetry and Burj Khalifa views from the higher floors. 

Just next door, Volante Tower and DAMAC Towers by Paramount push into similar territory, with hotel-branded service, pools on elevated podiums, and larger two-bed layouts. You'll pay more here, but the trade-off is concierge, gym access, and a five-minute drive to Downtown and DIFC.

The most rented buildings around SLS tend to strike a balance between price and location. Nobles Tower is a common pick for one and two-bed renters who want space without going full luxury, and it's a short walk to the canal promenade. 

Binghatti Canal, right on the water, draws tenants who like waterfront cafes at the doorstep. Executive Towers, further west, remains a steady favorite thanks to its metro link at Business Bay station and a mix of studios through to three-beds.
