Arada has opened bookings at Nest Hotel, the first property in its lifestyle hospitality brand, ahead of the hotel’s opening in late December at Aljada in Sharjah.
The 395-room property is managed by Arada Hospitality and Entertainment and is located alongside the Nest Campus student housing complex. The hotel will accommodate business travellers, families, leisure visitors, long-stay guests, sports groups, students and faculty members.
The Nest Hotel has been designed to expand across the UAE and internationally, either as a standalone property or alongside the Nest Campus concept.

“Weโre thrilled to open bookings for travellers to experience Sharjah in a whole new way. Nest Hotel offers a modern stay that captures the lifestyle spirit of Aljada โ family-oriented, connected and full of life. Itโs 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,” Amit Arora, Chief Operating Officer of Arada Hospitality and Entertainment said in a statement.
The property includes lounges, co-working areas, dining outlets, and access to Aljada’s East Boulevard, which features over 100 restaurants, retail, sports and entertainment venues.
The brand uses technology throughout the guest experience, with a website that allows travellers to check in, access rooms digitally, manage bookings, and navigate Aljada’s services. Features include eBike rentals, dining reservations, and high-speed Wi-Fi.
Nest Hotel was developed in consultation with students from Sharjah’s University City and the adjoining Nest Campus. Their input shaped room layouts, co-working zones, and communal spaces. The hotel also offers part-time employment opportunities to provide hospitality experience during studies.
Nest Hotel room types include Solo, Stylish, Signature, Family and Suites, offering single, twin, king and suite options.
The hotel is the first property in Sharjah to offer interconnecting family rooms, paired with 24-hour check-in and check-out. A shuttle runs between the hotel and Sharjah International Airport.
All rooms feature high-speed internet, smart TVs, and coffee.
