Dubai is no stranger to luxury. This top destination is the residence of many multinational hotels that bring you the height of opulence in a vibrant city. Still, in choosing to stay at Ascott Park Place Dubai, you get to reveal a rich, homier side to the urban metropolis, all while maintaining a prestigious Sheikh Zayed Road address.

The location: 

Along the same road stands the Museum of the Future, the Dubai International Convention and Exhibition Center and the World Trade Center. The Dubai World Trade Center Metro Station is also a quick walk away, allowing you to reach the rest of the city with ease. You can easily visit Jumeirah 1 Beach, as well as the city's business and financial centers, leisure destinations like the Dubai Mall (15 minutes via Uber) and plenty of other recreational establishments to make the most of your stay.

The room:

Inside the apartments, you're offered space to feel at home. The luxury residences not only offer modern facilities, but they're also keen on providing everything you need. Each of the 113 sound-proofed residences across 56 floors features stunning interiors complemented by modern amenities to connect you to the world with a choice between one or two bedrooms. My husband and I stayed in a two-bedroom apartment with my elderly parents and had a wonderful time. Select apartments also have floor-to-ceiling windows that showcase stunning views of the city or the sparkling waters of the Arabian Gulf.

The space

The perks of staying in a serviced apartment is countless. As we stayed in a two-bedroom apartment, we had a huge dining table, a full sofa set with an ottoman for resting our feet up when we get home tired. A fully-equipped kitchen (perfect for a midnight snack indulgence), which was very useful to us. Other amenities like ironing boards and washing machines, in addition to daily housekeeping and free wireless internet.

The facilities 

If you want to leave your apartment for the day, you can also choose to explore the hotel's facilities like the steam and sauna rooms, the temperature-controlled swimming pool, and the gymnasium with state-of-the-art Precor equipment. Other facilities and amenities include a children's wading pool, residents' lounge, residents' programs, 24-hour reception, courier services, airport transfers and more. Two restaurants are also available at the ground level.

The plus factor:

Senior-approved! 

Ascott Park Place Dubai is an excellent option for elderly guests due to features that make it feel like a home away from home in a luxurious location. My elderly parents especially loved the fully equipped kitchen. This was beneficial for them as they had particular dietary requirements. Each morning of our stay, my mom would prepare my dad's breakfast and then cook her own breakfast the way she would do it at home. My parents loved their stay so much that they were already asking if there was an Ascott in our next destination.
