Some brands just ooze glamour. Say the words St. Regis and a world of luxury comes to people’s minds. From its butler service to shimmering chandeliers and grand staircases, St Regis hotels are opulent and luxurious. St. Regis will be bringing a touch of that glamour to the capital when St Regis Riyadh opens in 2022.
The St Regis Riyadh will be located at the entrance of the Diplomatic Quarter, close to the city’s embassies and central business district. The St Regis Riyadh is expected to feature 83 guestrooms including 23 suites, along with two signature restaurants, an outdoor pool, fitness centre and spa.
Jerome Briet, chief development officer, Europe, Middle East and Africa, Marriott International, says “The signings showcases both the growth of the tourism sector in Saudi Arabia and the strong interest in our portfolio of sought-after luxury brands.”
Dr Rakan Al Harthy, managing director, Sela Sport Company, says, “ The St Regis Riyadh will be part of the ‘Via Riyadh’ which will be an ultra-luxurious zone of the Riyadh Season, the six-month event that celebrates the city and its culture.”
The first-ever St Regis was built in 1904 in New York by John Jacob Astor IV. The worldwide hospitality brand now has hotels in more than 50 locations across the world.
The St Regis Riyadh will also feature the brand’s bespoke butler service. The personalised service includes the signature unpacking and packing service, which the butlers are famous for completing with precision and a touch of luxury.
