Hotel apartments near Dubai Mall, for a monthly stay, are a handful within walking distance and several dozen within 2 km. Of the 412 Dubai units on HotelApartments.com whose map pin we could check, 11 in four Downtown Dubai buildings are within 1 km of The Dubai Mall in a straight line, and 63 in 17 buildings are within 2 km, most of them in Business Bay and on Sheikh Zayed Road. A one-bedroom within 2 km has a median asking price of AED 15,400 a month (25 units), against AED 11,500 across Dubai (169 units).
We measured on 11 November 2026, from each listing’s map pin to the middle of The Dubai Mall as mapped on OpenStreetMap. The mall is about 800 metres across, so its nearest entrance can be closer, and walking routes are longer than straight lines. We left out 18 units in four Sheikh Zayed Road and Business Bay buildings whose map pins we could not verify. Every unit counted has a 30-night minimum stay.
Which hotel apartments near Dubai Mall are closest?
Four Downtown Dubai buildings are within a kilometre of The Dubai Mall in a straight line: The Address Fountain Views Residences (0.46 km), Movenpick Hotel Apartments Downtown (0.55 km), Swissotel Al Murooj (0.65 km) and Ramada Downtown Dubai (0.80 km), with 11 monthly units between them. Sofitel Dubai Downtown is just beyond, at 1.04 km. Everything else we list is 1.27 km or more away.

Which buildings are within 2 km of The Dubai Mall?
Seventeen buildings, with 63 units. The five in Downtown Dubai are the closest to the mall but not to the metro; most of the Sheikh Zayed Road and Dubai International Financial Centre (DIFC) buildings are a few hundred metres from Financial Centre or Business Bay station, one stop from the mall’s own station. The last column is each building’s lowest monthly asking price.

How much does a month near The Dubai Mall cost?
Within 2 km of The Dubai Mall, the median asking price is AED 10,650 a month for a studio (12 units) and AED 15,400 for a one-bedroom (25 units), about a third above the Dubai medians of AED 8,000 and AED 11,500. Two- and three-bedroom units cost 13% to 15% more than the city median, so the premium for living by the mall is smallest for families.
| Median asking price, AED a month (units) | Studio | 1 bedroom | 2 bedrooms | 3+ bedrooms |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Within 1 km of The Dubai Mall | 2 units: 10,800 and 13,000 | 4 units: 9,000 to 16,500 | 3 units: 16,500 to 50,000 | 2 units: 22,500 and 36,000 |
| Within 1.5 km | 10,500 (7) | 15,400 (10) | 18,500 (8) | 3 units: 22,500 to 36,000 |
| Within 2 km | 10,650 (12) | 15,400 (25) | 18,000 (17) | 27,000 (9) |
| Within 3 km | 10,500 (13) | 15,000 (27) | 17,000 (19) | 25,500 (10) |
| All Dubai (market rates) | 8,000 (105) | 11,500 (169) | 15,700 (108) | 24,000 (54) |
Source: asking prices on HotelApartments.com, 11 November 2026. We show a median only where there are at least five units, and the range otherwise; one two-bedroom at The Address Fountain Views Residences asks AED 50,000, which would distort an average of so few units.
Paying less near the mall. Seven of the 25 one-bedrooms within 2 km ask no more than the Dubai median: three at City Premiere Hotel Apartments (AED 6,000 to 7,969), and one each at Towers Rotana Trade Centre (AED 7,150), Leva Hotel and Suites (AED 7,700), Swissotel Al Murooj (AED 9,000, the only one within 1 km) and Carlton Downtown (AED 10,500). The lowest studios are at Four Points by Sheraton Sheikh Zayed Road (AED 7,000) and Aura Suites Downtown (from AED 7,200). Ask for the total for your dates, including the Tourism Dirham where it applies and any event supplement.
How do you get to The Dubai Mall by metro?
The mall’s station is Burj Khalifa/Dubai Mall, on the Red Line. The Dubai Mall says it is within walking distance through the Metro Link Bridge, a temperature-controlled glass tunnel with travellators. The station is about 1.1 km from the middle of the mall in a straight line, and Financial Centre and Business Bay stations are one stop either side of it.
- From Sheikh Zayed Road and DIFC: 27 of the 63 units within 2 km are within 500 metres of Financial Centre or Business Bay station, one stop from Burj Khalifa/Dubai Mall. Two more, at Sofitel Dubai Downtown, are about 150 metres from Burj Khalifa/Dubai Mall station itself.
- From Downtown Dubai and inner Business Bay: the mall is the short trip and the metro the longer one. Movenpick Hotel Apartments Downtown is 0.55 km from the mall but 1.6 km from the station, and Aura Suites Downtown, Staybridge Business Bay, InterContinental Residences and SLS Dubai are 1.1 to 3.0 km from a station. Our guide to living in Dubai without a car compares metro access by area.
- Mall hours: shops open from 10 am to 11 pm Monday to Thursday and to midnight Friday to Sunday, restaurants an hour later, according to The Dubai Mall, which says the Metro Link Bridge keeps the same hours.
- Station works: in June 2025 the RTA and Emaar Properties announced an expansion of Burj Khalifa/Dubai Mall station that will raise its capacity from 7,250 to 12,320 passengers an hour. Check the RTA for entrance changes during the works.
The Dubai Mall describes the Metro Link Bridge from Burj Khalifa/Dubai Mall station as a temperature-controlled glass tunnel with travellators.
What about hotel apartments near Burj Khalifa?
Burj Khalifa stands about 500 metres west of the middle of The Dubai Mall, so the same buildings serve both. Within a kilometre of the tower we list 15 units in six buildings: all 13 in Downtown Dubai and two at Leva Hotel and Suites on Sheikh Zayed Road. Their one-bedroom median is AED 15,300 a month (6 units). The nearest are Ramada Downtown Dubai (0.49 km) and Sofitel Dubai Downtown (0.60 km).
Views as listed. Six units within 2 km of the mall name Burj Khalifa in their listing title, at Movenpick Hotel Apartments Downtown, Aura Suites Downtown, ME Dubai Residences by Melia and InterContinental Residences Dubai Business Bay, from AED 13,000 to 33,600 a month. These are the properties’ own titles and we have not seen the views, so ask for the floor and which way the windows face.

Staying for the Dubai Shopping Festival or New Year’s Eve?
Book early and ask for the total price. The Dubai Shopping Festival runs citywide from 4 December 2026 to 17 January 2027, according to Visit Dubai, the official tourism site of the Department of Economy and Tourism (DET), and New Year’s Eve falls in the middle of it. 62 of the 63 units within 2 km of the mall say an event supplement applies during major events. Our Dubai Shopping Festival 2026–27 guide covers other areas.
- New Year’s Eve: the RTA says more than 110,000 passengers use Burj Khalifa/Dubai Mall station on the night. If you will be staying nearby, check the RTA’s road and metro arrangements for 31 December before you plan the evening.
- The supplement and refunds: listings say the supplement applies during major events and exhibitions on dates the government advises, so ask whether your dates are covered. Under our reservation terms, payments are non-refundable and unused nights are not refunded if you leave early.
Downtown Dubai, Business Bay or Sheikh Zayed Road?
- Walking to the mall: Downtown Dubai, where 11 of our 13 units are within a kilometre of it.
- The lowest price, or the metro every day: Sheikh Zayed Road or DIFC, mostly within 500 metres of Financial Centre or Business Bay station, with one-bedrooms from AED 6,000.
- A family: three-bedrooms at Movenpick Hotel Apartments Downtown (AED 36,000, six guests) and Swissotel Al Murooj (AED 22,500, four guests), or Aura Suites Downtown (AED 27,000, nine guests).
- A pet: Business Bay or Sheikh Zayed Road, at SLS Dubai, InterContinental Residences, ME Dubai Residences or Four Points by Sheraton.
For the two districts side by side, see Downtown vs Business Bay; if you are also weighing a beach area, see Dubai Marina vs Downtown.
A straight line is not the walk Main roads lie between several of these buildings and the mall, so a building 1.5 km away can be a much longer walk. Ask the building how guests usually reach The Dubai Mall, and try the route at the time of day you will use it.
