Modern Oases

Discover new and upcoming St. Regis hotels and resorts that will take your breath away.

What defines ultra-luxury? It used to be good food, expensive furnishing and doting service. Today, purveyors of modern luxury create enchanting and irreplicable experiences. One such provider is St. Regis Hotels & Resorts, a world-renowned hotel chain under Marriott International that has forged emotional connections with many loyal patrons. St. Regis owns 49 beautifully designed hotels and resorts around the globe, from the snowy peaks of Aspen to the turquoise island paradise of Bora Bora, and is preparing to roll out another 29 properties around the world by 2025.

“Found at the finest addresses across the globe, St. Regis Hotels & Resorts was founded over a century ago in 1904 with the opening of our flagship, The St. Regis New York, by John Jacob Astor IV, a true vanguard with a spirit of innovation,” shares George Fleck, Vice President and Global Brand Leader for St. Regis Hotels & Resorts.

“His goal was to create a home away from home for the Astor family’s luminary friends and notable guests visiting from Europe. St. Regis was born in the Gilded Age but continues to define the modern era, celebrating the Astors’ legacy through our iconic architecture, avant-garde design, and cherished rituals and traditions including Afternoon Tea; our signature cocktail, the Bloody Mary, evening champagne sabrage; and an unparalleled level of service, as demonstrated by our St. Regis Butlers.”

NEW PROPERTIES IN BERMUDA, QINGDAO AND BAHIA

While other luxury brands are wavering during these uncertain times, St. Regis welcomed three mesmerising properties in 2021, starting with The St. Regis Bermuda Resort in May 2021, a sprawling, white and blue island property. This colour palette was chosen to complement the resort’s views of the horizon, which stitch together azure skies and clear waters. Comprising 120 guestrooms that include 29 exquisite suites and two- and three-bedroom ultra-luxury residences, the enchanting property is located in St. George’s, a historic town flanked by an immaculate shoreline. The St. Regis Bermuda Resort is just a short walk from picturesque St. Catherine’s Beach, and has its own 18-hole golf course.

The St. Regis Qingdao too made waves when it was unveiled in August 2021. This 233-guest room property is a distinctive, contemporary monolith that pierces the skyline of this trendy and dynamic coastal city. Take a closer look at the meticulous details of St. Regis Qingdao’s elegant interior and you will notice subtle nods to this city’s 6,000-year history.

In May 2021, The St. Regis Bahia Beach Resort reopened to international fanfare. This vaunted tropical sanctuary underwent a $60-million facelift. Shaded by palm trees, its 139 guest rooms and suites are minutes from its sapphire-tinted swimming pool and the North Atlantic Ocean.

MORE TO COME

Next, The St. Regis Kanai Resort will begin welcoming guests in 2022. Nestled in the fabled Mayan Riviera, this spellbinding getaway is designed to offer guests several compelling views of this spectacular locale. Its 124 guest rooms and suites, along with 32 villas with private pools, are built in circular patterns that resemble ripples on the Caribbean coastline.

In 2022, The St. Regis Marsa Arabia Island will open on The Pearl, an iconic reclaimed island in Qatar, and will feature Andalusian and Arabesque details on its interior and exterior.

Inspired by its vivacious host city, The St. Regis Los Cabos Resort will make its debut in 2023. This 120-room and 60-residence property will offer guests easy access to water sports facilities, the popular nightspots of Los Cabos, along with its private golf course and beach club.

In 2024, St. Regis will make its debut in Aruba, the Dominican Republic and Oman – the brand will open the St. Regis Aruba Palm Beach Resort in Aruba, The St. Regis Cap Cana Resort in the Dominican Republic and the St. Regis Al Mouj Resort in Muscat.

The following year, The St. Regis Marrakech Resort is expected to open. Located just outside this storied city in Morocco, this desert rose will sport clean lines and the ochre-red of Marrakesh’s city walls. A cool sanctuary in located on the fringe of the sweltering Sahara, The St. Regis Marrakech Resort will offer both authentic cultural excursions that showcase the architecture, artistry and history of Morocco.

“This is a pivotal moment for St. Regis as we expect to nearly double our existing resort portfolio by 2025. Our resorts offer a leisure experience inspired by the glamorous private retreats of St. Regis’ founding family, the Astors, and we cannot wait to bring the brand’s spirit of invention and cherished traditions to some of the world’s most beguiling destinations,” Fleck discloses. “From Los Cabos to Sanya, and Marrakech to the Riviera Maya, we are thoughtfully expanding the brand while marking a commitment to providing extraordinary resort experiences in the places where we know global luminaries want to travel.”
