Starwood has expanded its portfolio of St. Regis Hotels & Resorts with the opening of The St. Regis Dubai. Owned by Al Habtoor Group, the hotel features eight culinary venues, the first Iridium Spa in Dubai, a fleet of Bentleys and will open the first Bentley Suite in the Middle East in early 2016. The St. Regis Dubai is located within the Al Habtoor City, a fully-integrated urban resort. The St. Regis Dubai features 234 guestrooms, including 52 suites.
Michael Wale, President- Europe, Africa and Middle East, Starwood Hotels & Resorts said, “We are proud to partner with Al Habtoor Group and to launch Starwood’s largest hospitality project in the region as we open the first of three hotels in this prestigious development. The entry of our ultra-luxury St. Regis brand in this important market strengthens Starwood’s presence in the United Arab Emirates as we remain on track to double our portfolio in the region by 2019.”
The hotel’s custom-designed one-bedroom Bentley Suite, inspired by the bespoke craftsmanship of the Bentley Mulsanne, will be the first of its kind in the Middle East.
Khalaf Ahmad Al Habtoor, Chairman Al Habtoor Group said, “We are delighted to partner with Starwood Hotels & Resorts to open The St. Regis Dubai, the first hotel within Al Habtoor City. It is the beginning of a new era on this historic site. The St. Regis name, renowned for its rich heritage and traditions, will undoubtedly complement the traditions and modernity of Dubai. We look forward to welcoming our first guests, and seeing the city buzzing with activity.”
