Elegance Tower, Downtown Dubai
DAMAC's 26-storey tower with interiors by Zuhair Murad. Six things hosts should get right before the first guest.
Building approval first
Before listing on Airbnb, the building has to accept holiday home use. Ask Elegance Tower's management for its position in writing, and whether a no-objection letter is needed.
The permit
Every Airbnb let by the night in Dubai needs a holiday home permit from the Department of Economy and Tourism, held by you or a licensed operator.
Use the wait
Handover is due in 2026. Agree the furnishing list and budget, book photography and line up the permit before you get the keys, so the listing goes live soon after.
Furnish to the design
DAMAC designed the interiors with the fashion house Zuhair Murad. Furnish to match that finish, and put the Burj Khalifa view and the pool deck in the first photos.
Stand out in a new tower
Many units reach Airbnb in the same months after handover. Good photos, a clear description and fast replies decide which ones book first.
Arrivals that work
A new tower means new access cards, parking and lobby rules. Give guests clear arrival steps, or have someone meet them in person.

Questions
Elegance Tower: host questions
Can I put my Elegance Tower apartment on Airbnb?
Yes, as a licensed holiday home, once the unit holds a holiday home permit from the Department of Economy and Tourism and the building accepts short stays. A licensed operator can arrange both.
Who books Airbnbs in Downtown Dubai?
First-time visitors who want to be near The Dubai Mall, the fountains and the Burj Khalifa, and professionals and relocating families who book by the month. One and two-bedroom homes suit both.
Short stays or a yearly tenant at Elegance Tower?
A yearly tenant is simpler and fixed. Short stays earn by the night or the month and leave the apartment free for your own visits. A new tower has no rent history yet, so ask for a view on your own unit.
