Only a 20-minute drive from Dubai International Airport, The St. Regis Hotel has debuted in Dubai, introducing eight exceptional culinary venues, the first Iridium Spa in the city, and spacious areas for business meetings and events.

Located on Sheikh Zayed Road in Al Habtoor City, where two additional Starwood hotels under its W Hotels and Westin brands are also set to open, The St. Regis Dubai features 234 guest rooms, including 52 suites, each offering a bright, airy ambience with impeccable details, such as chandeliers, marble bathrooms, and signature St. Regis beds.

“The unveiling of The St. Regis Dubai marks an important milestone for the brand as we rapidly grow our profile in the Middle East,” says Jim Petrus, global brand leader for St. Regis Hotels & Resorts. “This important debut represents our fourth property in the region since the opening of The St. Regis Saadiyat Island Resort in Abu Dhabi almost four years ago, and with The St. Regis Dubai, we are thrilled to be able to offer the renowned St. Regis experience to the region’s luxury travellers.”

The hotel extends culinary excellence across a wide range of dining venues, including Brasserie Quartier, which is a modern interpretation of a French brasserie serving redefined French favourites; The Roof Gardens, an intimate outdoor venue with stylish cabanas; Cafe Fleuri, which is reminiscent of a 1930s Parisien cafe; J&G Steakhouse; and Le Patio cafe.

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. Guests can also try the signature St. Regis afternoon tea at Sidra; before enjoying the hotel evening ritual of champagne sabering in The Champagne Lounge.

The hotel is also an ideal location for business meetings and events, thanks to the prestigious 800sqm Astor Ballroom, six meeting rooms, and beautiful landscaped gardens perfect for al fresco events. For relaxation, the hotel features the Iridium Spa, which has six treatment rooms and two hammams; a 24-hour fitness center; and two rooftop swimming pools. www.stregis.com/dubai
