St. Regis Hotels & Resorts has announced the opening of The St. Regis Downtown, Dubai. Positioned along the Dubai Water Canal overlooking some of the city’s most famous landmarks, guests can enjoy views from floor to ceiling windows while experiencing the brand’s bespoke butler service born on New York’s 55th and Fifth.

The hotel features 298 lavish guestrooms and suites, featuring spacious open bathrooms and walk-in wardrobes. The décor draws inspiration from Dubai’s Gold Souk, featuring a palate of rich golden tones and vibrant accents. From the grand open fireplace and elegant chandeliers in the lobby to the striking contemporary artwork adorning the corridors, the design blends the timeless glamour of the St. Regis brand with the vibrant spirit of the city.

To dine, The Library provides an elegant space to enjoy the signature St. Regis Afternoon Tea, BASTA! fuses the energy of traditional Italian restaurants with a modern cuisine and Bleu Blanc Oysters & Grill offers French fine dining.

In 1934, the world-renowned Bloody Mary was created at The St. Regis New York’s King Cole Bar. For a modern twist, it can now be enjoyed in Downtown Dubai at the intimate St. Regis Bar, under a mirrored ceiling adorned with lights depicting the starry nights of the Arabian Desert.

To make for a luxurious urban retreat, the hotel is complete with a range of state-of-the-art facilities. After working out in the exclusive fitness centre, guests can enjoy a relaxing dip in the outdoor infinity pool overlooking the canal or visit The St. Regis Spa, featuring bespoke treatments including a 24-karat gold facial. All the while, guests can expect the round-the-clock anticipatory service that the brand is renowned for.

“We are looking forward to offering guests exquisite experiences that are steeped in history along with the brand’s iconic anticipatory service, which is purposefully tailored”, comments General Manager, Raja Zeidan. “The St. Regis Downtown, Dubai will provide a distinct point of view on luxury hospitality in one of the city’s most exclusive districts and will offer global luminaries the chance to enjoy the cherished hallmarks of the St. Regis brand.”
