Home shopping trail: Mohamed Sultan Road

What used to be the hotspot for bars and pubs has grown up to become a hip destination for international dining and snazzy wine bars.

The neighbourhood is also home to major showrooms that represent international brands. From kitchen appliances to bathroom essentials, we visited four specialty showrooms to see what they have to offer.

APS Lifestyle Gallery

Since its last major overhaul in 2012, APS Lifestyle Gallery has been transformed into a homely showroom kitted out with live kitchens and a private dining area. The two-storey gallery houses big kitchen brand names like Smeg, Whirlpool, Küche, Vintec and Transtherm, covering all major appliances like refrigerators, ovens and wine cabinets.

The 67,000 sq ft space also hosts both private functions and public events, including live-cooking workshops and pop-up markets.

Hansgrohe

Since it was first opened in 2005, the Hansgrohe showroom has been a prime destination for high-end bathroom fixtures. Here, you’ll find bathroom essentials like mixers, showers and tubs from Axor and Hansgrohe. The German brand exemplifies high quality and good design, and is a champion of environmental sustainability.

Coming up next, the 4,000 sq ft showroom will welcome a new Axor Nendo Waterdream display. Also in the cards is a new live area where you can test the latest and best-selling overhead showers and experience how the different water sprays look and feel.
