Midscale smart property debuts as Arada’s first hospitality brand
Bookings are now open for Nest Hotel, a new midscale “smart” property set to open this December at Aljada, Sharjah’s flagship lifestyle destination. Located beside the Nest Campus student housing complex and close to Sharjah International Airport, the hotel caters to students, families, business and leisure travellers alike.
The 395-key hotel marks the launch of Arada’s new lifestyle hospitality brand, introducing a connected, community-focused concept to the emirate’s growing accommodation offering.
Facilities include lounges, co-working spaces, an all-day dining restaurant, café, swimming pool and complimentary access to the Wellfit Sarab gym. Guests also enjoy discounts at Aljada dining venues including Kashtat Amina, Boost and Hungry Wolves.

Rooms come in five categories – Solo, Stylish, Signature, Family and Suites – with single, twin, king and suite options. All feature high-speed internet, smart TVs and in-room coffee and tea facilities, while some offer balconies. The property is the first in Sharjah to guarantee interconnecting family rooms, paired with flexible 24-hour check-in and check-out.
Smart technology runs throughout the guest experience, from digital room access and online check-in to eBike rentals and integrated service navigation via a dedicated website. The brand’s design was developed in consultation with students from Sharjah’s University City, influencing room layouts, co-working zones and communal areas.
Nest Hotel offers direct access to Aljada’s East Boulevard — home to more than 100 restaurants, retail and entertainment outlets — and is five minutes from Sharjah International Airport, with a complimentary shuttle provided for guests.
Commenting on the launch, Amit Arora, COO of Arada Hospitality and Entertainment, said: “Nest Hotel offers a modern stay that captures the lifestyle spirit of Aljada – family-oriented, connected and full of life. It’s the first property ideally located near Sharjah International Airport and University City, catering to growing demand with a variety of room types and smart amenities for students, their families and business travellers alike.”
The debut property marks Arada’s entry into the hospitality sector, with the Nest brand set to expand across the UAE and internationally, either as standalone hotels or alongside its student campus concept. Arada’s wider pipeline includes 1,650 keys across Sharjah, with future openings planned under its Akala Hotel Dubai brand and partnerships with Vida, Rove and Anantara.
