Starwood has partnered with Pallazzio Hotels & Leisure to open St. Regis Mumbai, marking the entry of the St. Regis brand in India and South Asia.

Located in Lower Parel, one of the city’s most premium commercial, residential and entertainment districts, St. Regis Mumbai provides easy access to the city’s commercial centers, including the Bandra Kurla Complex and Nariman Point, as well as to the airport. The hotel features 395 guest rooms, including 27 suites, and for extended stays, the property’s 39 residential suites feature a living room, a fully equipped kitchenette, and the option of one or two bedrooms.

“The introduction of St. Regis to India marks a significant milestone for the brand’s expansion in South Asia, and Mumbai displays a robust demand for high-end hospitality from affluent travellers from all around the globe,” says Jim Petrus, global brand leader, St. Regis Hotels & Resorts. “We are uniquely positioned to cater to the needs of a new generation of luxury travellers, offering a personalized experience informed by the brand’s legacy.”

With nine restaurants, bars and nightlife options housed in the hotel, business travellers are spoilt for choice. The brand’s afternoon tea ritual comes to life in The Drawing Room at The Great Hall, where guests can enjoy a distinct interpretation of the classic afternoon pastime; while The St Regis Bar serves the Mumbai Mary, the hotel’s local rendition of the iconic Bloody Mary cocktail, which embodies the bold spirit of the city. Seven Kitchens is perfect for gatherings with colleagues, whereas The Sahib Room & Kipling Bars are renowned for their robust Indian delicacies and flavours, and is ideal for corporate lunches.

The opening of The St. Regis Mumbai also marks the debut of the brand’s luxurious Iridium Spa concept in the country, featuring nine treatment rooms and a menu boasting the use of Omorovicza products. In addition, the hotel also offers a fitness center, and a 25-meter outdoor pool with panoramic views. www.stregismumbai.com
