St. Regis Hotels & Resorts has announced the opening of The St. Regis Dubai. Owned by Al Habtoor Group, the hotel introduces uncompromising experiences with its luxurious bespoke hospitality, 8 culinary venues, the first Iridium Spa in Dubai, a fleet of Bentleys as well as the first Bentley Suite in the Middle East which will be unveiled in early 2016.
The St. Regis Dubai is located within the highly anticipated Al Habtoor City, the Emirate’s first fully integrated urban resort. As the newest address on Sheikh Zayed Road, Al Habtoor City will feature two other Starwood hotels under the distinct W Hotels and Westin brands, three residential towers, and a water-themed show by Dragone, the world’s leading cultural creation company, located along the upcoming Dubai Water Canal.
Heart of Dubai
The French beaux-arts architecture and neo-classical interiors of The St. Regis Dubai pay homage The St. Regis New York, the brand’s original hotel which opened in 1904 at the best address in New York on the corner of 55th Street and Fifth Avenue. A chandelier comprising 1200 pieces of handcut crystals, illuminates the grand staircase, while artwork throughout the hotel includes a vintage Bentley-inspired mural in the St. Regis Bar.
The St. Regis Dubai features 234 guestrooms, including 52 suites. Spanning 913sqm, the three-bedroom, two-storey Royal Suite is located in the central dome of the building, featuring a rooftop plunge pool, vast living room with dining room, study, lounge area and spacious majlis.
The hotel’s custom-designed one-bedroom Bentley Suite, inspired by the bespoke craftsmanship of the Bentley Mulsanne, is the first of its kind in the Middle East. Offering the ultimate expression of luxury, the leather finishes, colors, patterns and wood veneers combine the glamour of Bentley with the elegance of the St. Regis brand.
All guests at The St. Regis Dubai will experience renowned hallmarks of the St. Regis brand, including signature St. Regis Butler Service, providing anticipatory service and customisation at each stay according to specific guest tastes and preferences.
Distinctive culinary journey
Brasserie Quartier is a modern interpretation of a French brasserie serving redefined French favorites. J&G Steakhouse offers a collection of steakhouse classics as reimagined by the ‘greatest hits’ of cuisine inspired by Michelin-starred chef, Jean-Georges Vongerichten. The Roof Gardens is an intimate outdoor venue with stylish cabanas for in-house guests.

Following the tradition of the Bloody Mary cocktail, which was first created at The St. Regis New York, the St. Regis Bar offers the Golden Mary, a sweet and savory cocktail made with yellow tomato juice with gold leaf accents. In The Champagne Lounge, sommeliers perform the St. Regis evening ritual of champagne sabering.
