Annual rent for a two-bedroom apartment in the Residences at Palazzo Versace, Dubai
Features The 1,833-square-foot, fully furnished apartment is in Culture Village, next to the Creek, near Business Bay Bridge.
Pros As this is a new development, the rent has been reduced by 30 per cent for the first year. In addition to being furnished with Versace Home products (bed linen, towels, crockery and glassware), the kitchen is fully equipped with Miele appliances. You get complimentary access to the hotel's pool and gym, as well as free Wi-Fi. The bathroom is fitted with a Jacuzzi.
Cons Culture Village is tricky to get to, if you don't know where you're going, and the interiors will be far too decadent for some.
They say Five-star hotel living with everything you need.
We say If you're a fan of that opulent, over-the-top style that Versace is so famous for, this is the place for you.
