Al Murooj Complex Dubai: Apartments, Hotel and Facilities

Al Murooj Complex is a completed residential and hotel development on Sheikh Zayed Road in Dubai, on the Downtown Dubai side. It has 612 apartments and penthouses in mid-rise towers, a 253-room Swissôtel and a block of furnished serviced apartments. It suits people who want a garden setting and hotel-style services right on Sheikh Zayed Road.

Nine mid-rise buildings around a garden podium

Al Murooj Complex is a completed development on Al Mustaqbal Street, where Sheikh Zayed Road meets the Trade Centre district. It has nine buildings. Seven are residential towers and two are hotel towers. The title type is freehold.

The towers carry flower names, including Gardenia, Rose, Sunflower, Tulip, Violet and Lavender. They are mid-rise, which stands out in a city of supertall towers, and they are arranged around a garden podium with an artificial lake and outdoor dining. ARTEC Architectural & Engineering Consultants designed the complex.

Studios to penthouses, plus furnished serviced apartments

The 612 residential units are studios, one-bedroom and two-bedroom apartments, and penthouses. A studio is about 322 sq ft. For every other layout, ask for the floor plan and the measured area, because layouts differ from tower to tower.

The Roda Al Murooj Residences are a separate building inside the complex. They have 141 furnished serviced apartments, from studios to four bedrooms, run under the Roda brand with housekeeping, room service and a concierge.

Ask us for current asking figures, and remember that an asking price is what an owner wants, not what a flat sells for.

Residential flat, serviced apartment or hotel room?

The complex mixes three kinds of space: the 612 residential apartments and penthouses, the 141 furnished serviced apartments of the Roda Al Murooj Residences, and the rooms of the Swissôtel. They are run differently, so the first question at any viewing is which of the three you are looking at. Then ask who manages it, which services are included and what the charges cover.

A flat in a residential tower and a serviced apartment can look alike in an advert. Housekeeping, room service and a concierge come with the serviced apartments, so ask whether those services are optional or built into the price, and whether the unit is sold on its own or as part of a hotel arrangement.

Pools, courts and hotel services on site

Many facilities are shared between the residential towers and the hotel, so the list below is long. These are the ones that belong to the complex:

• Several temperature-controlled outdoor pools with sun decks
• A gym and fitness centre, the Flow Health Club at the Swissôtel
• A spa with sauna, steam room and jacuzzi
• Tennis and squash courts, and a yoga studio
• Planted podium gardens with walking paths and the artificial lake
• Dining at Le Murooj Restaurant, Circle Café and Ojos Café
• Ground-floor retail: a supermarket, pharmacy, men's and women's salons, a car rental desk and a currency exchange
• A business centre, children's play areas and babysitting services
• A 24-hour front desk and concierge, basement parking, and CCTV and access control
• A hotel ballroom for 1,000 to 1,500 guests, and the complex is pet-friendly

Le Murooj Restaurant serves all-day international dining, Circle Café is a lobby-level coffee spot, and Ojos Café in the hotel apartment lobby serves Lavazza coffee and snacks.

Because the hotel runs several of these, ask which ones residents may use, at what hours and for what fee.

The hotel's three names

The main hotel tower opened as Al Murooj Rotana, became Roda Al Murooj Hotel and is now Swissôtel Al Murooj Dubai, operated under Accor. Older listings and documents may still use the earlier names, so check that you are looking at the same building. The Roda Al Murooj Residences keep the Roda name. The Swissôtel has 253 rooms and suites and a ballroom that hosts events, so ask whether event days affect noise, parking or lift use in your tower.

Where the complex sits

The address places the complex between the Dubai International Financial Centre (DIFC) to the east and Downtown Dubai, with The Dubai Mall and the Burj Khalifa, to the southeast. The Sheikh Zayed Road corporate corridor runs north and south of it. Administratively the complex is in the Trade Centre Second district, also called Za'abeel 2, so you may see either name in documents.

The Financial Centre Metro Station on the Red Line is the stop to check for your own journey. The Red Line links Dubai Marina, Mall of the Emirates, Deira and both airport terminals.

Sheikh Zayed Road in Dubai Land Department figures

These figures cover the whole of Sheikh Zayed Road, not Al Murooj Complex. Over the latest 12 months, Dubai Land Department recorded 477 sales in the area: 36 in completed buildings and 441 off-plan. The median was AED 3,686.39 per sq ft, and the most recent sale was on 2026-07-06. The department also registered 106 rental contracts, at a median annual rent of AED 93,325.

You can browse registered transactions on our site, and read how these figures are counted.

An area median mixes many kinds of property. Most of these sales were off-plan, so they say little about an older completed complex. A rent median blends studios with larger homes, so it cannot tell you what one flat here would cost. Use the figures as background, then ask for registered sales or rents for the exact building and unit type, with dates.

Other buildings in Sheikh Zayed Road you can compare

Buildings on the same road differ in age, facilities, service charges and how much they depend on a hotel operator, so look at two or three before you decide. These have pages on our site:

• Al Habtoor Tower, off-plan, by Al Habtoor Group
• Burj Azizi, under construction, by Azizi Developments
• Sol Luxe, off-plan, by Sol Properties
• The Tranquil at Sobha Central, off-plan, by Sobha Realty
• Latifa Tower, completed, by Al Rostamani Pegel
• Skyline Residences, under construction, by Sobha Realty

A checklist before you rent or buy at Al Murooj Complex

1. Confirm the tower, floor and unit you are shown, and ask for its floor plan and measured area.
2. If you are buying, ask to see the title deed and check that the seller's name matches the owner on it.
3. Ask for the owners' association service charge budget and what it covers.
4. Ask in writing which hotel facilities residents may use, with hours and any fee.
5. Ask how parking is allocated for your unit and where visitors park.
6. If you have a pet, confirm the pet rules in writing before you sign.
7. Visit on a weekday morning, an evening and a weekend to judge traffic on Sheikh Zayed Road, noise from the hotel and how busy the podium is.
8. Check which direction the unit faces and what it looks onto.
9. If you are renting, ask what the rent includes, then register the lease in Ejari and keep the contract and every receipt.
10. If you are buying, complete the transfer through Dubai Land Department and check that the new title deed carries your name.

Keep a dated note of every answer, with the name of the person who gave it, and compare buildings on the same list. Asking prices and charges change, and a figure without a date is hard to rely on.
