DAMAC Maison The Vogue, Business Bay

DAMAC Maison The Vogue is a 22-storey hotel-residence on the Dubai Water Canal in Business Bay, developed by DAMAC Properties and completed in 2014. Its fully furnished studio to three-bedroom units come with hotel-style amenities (pool, gym, spa, valet, 24-hour security). Because it's a hotel-residence, the DTCM permit is arranged through the building's own management company rather than a direct owner application. Royale Stays manages Business Bay Airbnb properties for a fee from 15%.

About DAMAC Maison The Vogue

DAMAC Maison The Vogue sits directly on the Dubai Water Canal in Business Bay, one of a handful of hotel-residence towers DAMAC Properties built along this stretch of waterfront. The building rises 22 storeys over 4 basement parking levels (figures per propsearch.ae) and was completed in 2014. Unlike a purely residential tower, The Vogue was designed from the start as a hybrid: fully furnished studio, one, two and three-bedroom apartments sit alongside hotel-style guest services, which is the core reason it works well for short-term letting.

Business Bay itself has grown into one of Dubai's busiest mixed residential-commercial districts, a short drive from Downtown Dubai and the Burj Khalifa, with the canal promenade running the length of the community. A canal-facing hotel-residence like The Vogue captures both the corporate weekday demand Business Bay is known for and weekend leisure stays drawn by the waterfront setting.


Location & Nearby Landmarks

The building's canal-side position puts most of central Business Bay's dining and retail within easy walking distance, and Downtown Dubai, home to the Burj Khalifa and The Dubai Mall, is a short drive away. Business Bay's metro connections and Sheikh Zayed Road access make it straightforward to reach Dubai Marina, DIFC and the airport without needing a car for every trip, something guests booking a short stay consistently value.

Other DAMAC-branded addresses covered on this site include DAMAC Maison Canal Views, DAMAC Vera Residences and DAMAC Maison Prive, each a separate building within or near Business Bay's canal district. For Royale Stays' management approach across Business Bay more broadly, including furnishing, photography, pricing, check-in and guest communications, see the Airbnb management services page.


Unit Types

DAMAC Maison The Vogue offers fully furnished studio, one, two and three-bedroom apartments, each finished to a hotel-residence standard rather than a standard developer fit-out. This furnished, hospitality-grade baseline is one of the reasons the building suits short-stay guests without the owner needing to fully re-furnish the unit before listing it.


Amenities

DAMAC Maison The Vogue's hotel-residence positioning shows up most clearly in its amenities. Residents and guests have access to a temperature-controlled swimming pool, a fully equipped gymnasium, a spa and sauna, and round-the-clock valet parking and security. A ground-floor lobby with a cafe adds the kind of hospitality touch you would not usually find in a standard residential building, and it is a big part of why the building photographs and rents well for shorter stays.


Transportation & Access

DAMAC Maison The Vogue is well placed for both business and leisure guests: Downtown Dubai and the Burj Khalifa are a short drive away, Business Bay's own metro stations sit within easy reach, and Sheikh Zayed Road access makes Dubai Marina, DIFC and the airport straightforward to reach without needing a car for every trip.


Dubai Land Department records for The Vogue show recent one-bedroom sales trading in the AED 1,670 per square foot range on a 734 square foot unit, and mortgage-backed purchases have been recorded on nearby-sized units as well, both consistent with typical Business Bay canal-front pricing for a completed, hotel-branded residence. As with any DLD-sourced figure, treat this as an illustrative recent data point rather than a current asking price: use the Dubai property ROI calculator for an up-to-date, unit-specific income estimate before making a decision.


Airbnb / Short-Term Rental Income Potential

Because DAMAC Maison The Vogue is a hotel-residence rather than a purely standard freehold apartment building, the process for arranging a DTCM holiday-home permit works a little differently to a typical Business Bay tower: Royale Stays cannot apply for that permit directly as an outside operator, but the building's own management company arranges it once we reach out on an owner's behalf. In practice this makes The Vogue a normal, viable Building Guide target, not a gray area. It is a routing difference, not a blocker.

Owners renting out an apartment here through Royale Stays get furnishing, professional photography, dynamic pricing, guest check-in, ongoing guest communications and maintenance coordination, for a management fee starting from 15%. See the Business Bay Airbnb management page or the full Royale Stays service overview for how this works across the wider Business Bay canal district.

DAMAC Maison The Vogue pairs a genuine canal-front address with a hotel-residence baseline built for hospitality from day one. For owners who want that setup converted into rental income without the operational load, professional management makes the difference.

Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. It was built as a hotel-residence from the outset, which means the base building already has the amenities short-stay guests expect (pool, gym, spa, valet, 24-hour security, a staffed lobby), and its canal-front Business Bay location covers both corporate weekday demand and weekend leisure stays. The permit process runs through the building's own management company rather than a direct owner application, but that does not change the building's viability.
It sits directly on the Dubai Water Canal in Business Bay, within easy reach of Downtown Dubai, the Burj Khalifa and The Dubai Mall, and well connected to Sheikh Zayed Road and the Dubai Metro.
Yes, but the process is routed differently to a standard residential tower. Because The Vogue is classed as a hotel-residence rather than a purely standard freehold building, Royale Stays cannot apply for the DTCM permit directly as an outside operator. Instead, the building's own management company arranges the permit once we reach out on your behalf. This is a routine part of managing a unit here, not an obstacle.
The building offers fully furnished studio, one, two and three-bedroom apartments, all built with hotel-style finishing.
No. DAMAC operates several separate DAMAC Maison-branded buildings along and near the Dubai Water Canal, including DAMAC Maison Canal Views and DAMAC Maison Prive, and each is a physically distinct building with its own address and unit stock. DAMAC Maison The Vogue is its own building, not a renamed version of either of those.
