Nakheel brings St. Regis to Dubai
Nakheel has confirmed it will introduce a St. Regis branded Beach Club to Dubai’s Palm Jumeirah, following a management agreement between Nakheel and Starwood Hotels & Resorts.
The St Regis Dubai – The Palm will be located in Nakheel’s 52-storey Palm Tower Hotel and residential complex, which is due for completion in 2018. Part of Nakheel’s Palm West Beach complex, the hotel will offer modern fusion dining concepts new to the UAE, an infinity edge pool stretching almost 100 metres along the seafront, and a state-of-the-art gymnasium, alongside mesmerising views of the Arabian Gulf.
St. Regis Dubai – The Palm will feature 289 guestrooms and suites, occupying the first 18 floors of The Palm Tower Hotel, while the upper floors will comprise 504 luxury apartments. The hotel will feature two swimming pools, including one of the world’s highest infinity pools, located on the 50th floor, offering panoramic views of Palm Jumeirah, Arabian Gulf and Dubai skyline.
Furthermore, the complex will offer various dining experiences including a signature restaurant with city views on the 51st level, an all-day restaurant, and a public rooftop viewing deck. Guests will experience hallmarks of the St. Regis brand, including the signature St. Regis Butler Service, as well as complimentary access to the beach club.
The Palm Tower, for which Nakheel was awarded a construction contract for AED819 million, will be directly linked to Nakheel Mall, a new luxury retail and entertainment destination with 350 shops and several restaurants.
Nakheel Chairman, Ali Rashid Lootah, comments: “The St. Regis Beach Club is a natural progression that further cements our relationship with Starwood Hotels & Resorts. This exclusive new facility will reinforce Palm Jumeirah’s position as the global location for luxury living and leisure by offering the unrivalled facilities that St. Regis guests across the world are accustomed to.”
Neil George, Senior Vice President, Acquisitions & Development, Starwood Hotels & Resorts Middle East and Africa, adds: “We are delighted to strengthen our relationship with Nakheel to introduce a St. Regis branded beach club in this landmark destination. Managed by The St. Regis Dubai – The Palm, the beach club will offer guests an exceptional leisure experience combined with the brand’s bespoke hospitality.”
