Dubai's HOTTEST 1-Bed Haven (Escan Towers)! ✨
Alright, buckle up, buttercups, because we're diving headfirst into the shimmering, sheikly, and sometimes slightly chaotic world of Dubai's HOTTEST 1-Bed Haven: Escan Towers! ✨ I'm talking a deep dive, a full-immersion experience, not just some dry, bullet-point review. Prepare for honesty, a little rambling, and maybe a few (okay, a LOT) of opinions.
(Deep Breath. Exhales.) Let's GO!
First Impressions: The Grand Entrance…and My Near-Disaster
Okay, so, getting to Escan Towers is relatively easy. Accessibility? Pretty decent. They've got a good grip on the basics, with elevators that’ll make your grandma happy and well-maintained walkways. But here's the thing: Dubai is vast. My taxi driver, bless his heart, got us…mostly there. Let's just say that street signs in Dubai sometimes feel like they're playing hide-and-seek. But hey, we made it! (And the free car park on-site was a total godsend after that adventure.)
The Room: My Little Oasis (Mostly)
The one-bedroom apartment? Oh, it was glorious. Seriously. Air conditioning that ACTUALLY works (a MUST in Dubai!), crisp white linens, a view that'll make your jaw drop (I asked for a high floor, and they delivered - bless 'em!). Wi-Fi? Yep, fast and free in the room. And the best part? FREE WI-FI EVERYWHERE! Look, I need my Instagram fix, okay? And the internet was good, steady, and everywhere, right down to the lobby. Praise hands.
The little details really made a difference; the air conditioning, the super comfortable bed, the extra-long bed (important!), the bathrobes, and the little toiletries. I actually liked the complimentary tea and coffee in the room. They had my back for a morning wake-up.
The View: Cityscapes & Soul Searching… (Mostly at Sunset)
Seriously, the views are insane. That 'Pool with a View' they brag about in the listing? Okay, it's true. It's spectacular. Watching the sunset from that pool was pure bliss. A few stray thoughts here: I'm not always the best photographer, so I was very satisfied to be able to sit and take a video without it needing to look perfect. If there was ever a place to get emotional, get lost in your feelings, or just let your thoughts and feelings flow, it was right there with the amazing view. It actually took my breath away.
Food, Glorious Food! (And My Stomach's Verdict)
Okay, let's talk food. Escan Towers has restaurants. Plural. And bars. More plural. A buffet breakfast that was pretty standard, but I'll admit, the pastries were dangerous. Deliciously dangerous. They had Asian options (I tried the dim sum, which was surprisingly good), Western options, and even a little "alternative meal arrangement" if you're feeling picky. Room service is 24-hour. That's huge. (Especially when you've been wandering around in the desert all day.)
The coffee shop downstairs was a lifesaver. Coffee, tea, and a small selection of snacks to tide you over until the real food arrives. The desserts? Don't get me started. (I'm still trying to work off the baklava.) I'd say, the food and drink options are plentiful and offer a wide range of options to satisfy most travelers' appetites.
Relaxation Central: Spa, Sauna, and the Search for Inner Peace
The spa. Ah, the spa. They have a spa/sauna, a steamroom, a pool with a view, a fitness center, and a gym/fitness area. To be honest, I'm more of a "lounging by the pool with a cocktail" kind of person, but I did dabble in the spa experience. A foot bath? Yes, please! A massage? Absolutely. (My shoulders were crying out for mercy.) The body scrub and the body wrap? I chickened out. I'm not quite that Zen. But if you're into pampering, they've got you covered.
The pool was a haven. I loved it. The steam room was great. The sauna…well, it was hot. VERY hot. But the pool view made everything worthwhile.
Hygiene Heroes and Safety Shenanigans
Okay, let's get serious for a second. Cleanliness and safety are paramount, especially these days. Escan Towers has a good handle on this. They use anti-viral cleaning products, have a daily disinfection routine in common areas, provide hand sanitizer everywhere, and have staff trained in safety protocols. They offer room sanitization opt-out (giving you a choice), and they follow strict physical distancing guidelines. I felt safe, and that's a huge relief.
Little Extras That Make a Big Difference:
- Daily Housekeeping: Thank you, housekeeping! You guys kept my room looking (mostly) presentable.
- Concierge: Helpful, friendly, and always ready with a recommendation or a helpful tip.
- Luggage Storage: Essential for those early arrivals and late departures.
- Convenience Store: Because sometimes you just need a chocolate bar at 3 AM.
The "Meh" Moments (Because Nothing's Perfect)
- The elevator waits: Sometimes, during peak hours, the elevators were a bit of a gamble. Patience, my friends, patience!
- The noise: Being in a city center, there's some expected urban noise. If you're a super light sleeper (especially in early hours), bring some earplugs.
- The staff: The staff were well versed, but sometimes, it felt like they could have been more friendly and inviting.
My Emotional Rollercoaster Ride: Yay, Uh Oh, and OMG!
Now, the room was amazing. The view? Phenomenal. The pool? Chef's kiss. But, there were a couple of stumbles during my stay. I had an issue when checking in. The staff were helpful, but not the friendliest. I’m sure I would have felt more welcome if the staff were a bit more friendly. I had a similar experience at the restaurant. But I was still impressed, there were just some minor issues.
The Final Verdict: Would I Return?
Absolutely. Despite the minor imperfections, Escan Towers is a fantastic choice for a solo traveler, a couple, or even a small family (they have babysitting services and kids facilities). The location is excellent, the amenities are top-notch, and the views are just incredible. It's a stylish, well-equipped, and – dare I say – glamorous base for exploring Dubai.
But here’s the real kicker:

Escape to Paradise: Hotel St. Anton, Italy - Your Unforgettable Getaway
Alright, buckle up buttercups, because this isn't your grandma's meticulously planned travel itinerary. This? This is Dubai, baby, my Dubai, and it's going to be a glorious, messy, and probably sleep-deprived adventure. We're starting from my little nest at My-Places Dubai 1 Bed Apartment (Escan Towers), which, let's be honest, is probably a better base camp than any hotel I could have booked myself. Here goes nothing… and everything.
Day 1: Arrival, Sandstorms, and Sushi Regrets
- 8:00 AM: Oh god, the flight. Let's just say the guy next to me thought my emotional support cactus (yes, it's a real thing, and yes, it's named "Spike") was a terrorist threat. Drama. But hey, we landed! Dubai, here I come, and I’m already regretting every decision I made to avoid packing light.
- 10:00 AM: Taxi from the airport. Holy moly, the heat hits you like a brick wall. Humidity is my enemy, I hate how my hair curls up like a sad little poodle. Escan Towers, here we go! The apartment… surprisingly decent. Cozy, functional. A little too much beige, but hey, at least it's clean. My-Places did alright. Now, where's the damn coffee machine?
- 11:00 AM: Coffee acquired. Sweet, sweet caffeine. Starting to unpack. Realizing I packed five pairs of shoes and only one pair of actual weather-appropriate sandals. Genius.
- 12:00 PM: The view. From my balcony, the city sprawls out before me. The Burj Khalifa is there, gleaming and smug. Honestly, it’s a bit intimidating. And… oh no. The sandstorm. It's red, it's swirling, it's probably getting into everything. Already feel the grit in my teeth. Great.
- 2:00 PM: Lunch. Or at least, an attempt at lunch. I wandered into a random sushi place. Disaster. The sushi was… suspect. The rice tasted suspiciously like it had been sitting out since the Jurassic period. Lesson learned: avoid anything that looks like it was made by a robot.
- 4:00 PM: Fighting the urge to nap. Need to push on through the jet lag. This is where I start to feel like everything’s a fever dream.
- 6:00 PM: Wandering the area. Trying to find a grocery store. Gets lost. Finds a shop selling gold-plated EVERYTHING. I’m pretty sure I walked past a solid gold ATM. Dubai is… a lot.
- 8:00 PM: Pizza. Thank God for pizza. Feeling a little bit less like a dehydrated desert rat and a little bit more like a slightly lost, but adequately fed, person. Pizza in Escan Towers is just okay.
Day 2: Desert Dreams and Mall Madness
- 8:00 AM: Okay, real talk. Slept like a rock, despite the sandstorm raging outside. Which, by the way, is still going. I think it's personally mocking me.
- 9:00 AM: Breakfast. Instant coffee and a banana. Living the high life.
- 10:00 AM: Desert Safari! Finally! I booked one of those tours. I'm terrified of camels. Seriously, they’re like grumpy, hairy teenagers on four legs.
- 11:00 AM: The Safari: I’ve managed to survive the roller coaster ride over the dunes without throwing up (a personal victory). Sandboarding? More like sand-face-planting. The camel ride was… well, let’s just say I’m not sure my rear end has recovered. The desert itself, though, was utterly breathtaking. Silence, space, and a fiery sunset that made me feel strangely small. It was genuinely beautiful. And yes, I think I fell for a very attractive Bedouin with the most twinkling eyes I've seen. I’m pretty sure I've caught desert fever or something.
- 6:00 PM: Back at Escan Towers, still covered in sand. Feeling dusty and slightly sunburned, but utterly exhilarated from the desert.
- 7:00 PM: Dinner and… Oh, the Mall of the Emirates. Okay, fine. I'll do it. It's so massive. I'm convinced I walked a marathon just trying to find the bathroom. The people are beautiful. The shops! Too many temptations. My credit card is already screaming for mercy. Ski Dubai? Yeah, no thanks. I'm still wearing sand.
- 10:00 PM: Back at the apartment. Exhausted. Filled with mixed emotions. A strange sense that I am alive.
Day 3: The Old Town and a Fountain of Tears… And Dreams
- 9:00 AM: No sandstorm! Yes!
- 10:00 AM: The souks! Gold, spices, fragrances… It was an assault on the senses in the best possible way. Bargaining for a scarf was a personal victory. I, the queen of awkward small talk, actually managed to convincingly haggle. Proud moment.
- 12:00 PM: Creek-side lunch. The water's kind of a murky green, but the food is delicious.
- 1:00 PM: Abra ride. The water is still that creepy green, but the wooden boats are quite lovely. The best part is the way the boat operators all have a look in their eyes that says, "Yeah, I've seen some things on this creek."
- 3:00 PM: Dubai Mall and the Burj Khalifa. The mall is overwhelming, but I found the waterfall and actually didn’t completely hate it.
- 4:00 PM: The fountain show. Holy. Mother. Of. God. I cried. Actual tears. It was the perfect blend of water, light, and ridiculously epic music. Seeing it again from the Burj Khalifa, up so high, really made me feel like I was living in the future. It felt unreal.
- 8:00 PM: Dinner.
- 9:00 PM: Back to Escan Towers. The light from the fountain is still dancing, and I really don't want this trip to end. I'm strangely in love with this city.
Day 4: Beach Bliss and Departure Dread
- 9:00 AM: Beach day! Jumeirah Beach is stunning. The water is crystal clear. The sun is scorching. The thought of going home is a deep well of dread.
- 12:00 PM: Lunch at a beachside cafe. The food is expensive, but I don't care. This is life.
- 2:00 PM: Last moments of bliss on the beach. I'm pretty sure I'm not supposed to take photos of the Burj Al Arab, but I took one anyway.
- 5:00 PM: Back at the apartment. Packing. The worst part. I really don't want to go.
- 6:00 PM: Final dinner. Thai food this time.
- 8:00 PM: One more walk around the neighborhood. Say a final goodbye to the golden ATM. Goodbye, Dubai.
- 10:00 PM: Taxi to the airport.
Day 5: Home Sweet Home?
- (A blurry, sleep-deprived montage of airport security, delays, and eventual touchdown back home. Missing Dubai already.)
This is it. This is the Dubai I experienced. It was beautiful, chaotic, and full of things I don't even know I saw. Would I do it again? Absolutely. Next time, I'll try to remember the sunscreen… and maybe bring a therapist in suitcase.
