Features such as eBike rentals, dining reservations, and high-speed Wi-Fi support a modern, frictionless stay. Nest Hotel was developed in consultation with students from Sharjah's University City and the adjoining Nest Campus, incorporating their input into room layouts, co-working zones, and communal spaces, while also offering part-time employment opportunities to provide hands-on hospitality experience during their studies. Amit Arora, Chief Operating Officer of Arada Hospitality and Entertainment, said:“We're thrilled to open bookings for travellers to experience Sharjah in a whole new way.

All rooms feature high-speed internet, smart TVs, and in-room coffee and tea facilities. Onsite amenities include an all-day dining restaurant, café, swimming pool, valet parking, and complimentary access to the Wellfit Sarab gym. Guests also receive discounts at selected dining outlets across Aljada's top dining outlets including Kashtat Amina, Boost and Hungry Wolves.
