Dubai developer Nakheel signed a management agreement with the Starwood Hotels & Resorts Worldwide, Inc. to operate a new St. Regis in Dubai. Set to open in 2018, The St. Regis Dubai – The Palm will be a part of Palm Tower, Nakheel’s 52-storey luxury mixed-use development and the centrepiece of Dubai’s world-famous, award-winning Palm Jumeirah Island.
St Regis Dubai – The Palm will offer 289 guest rooms, including 23 suites, occupying the first 18 floors of The Palm Tower, while the upper floors will comprise 504 luxury apartments. The hotel will feature two swimming pools, including one of the world’s highest infinity pools. Located on the 50th floor, some 210 metres above ground, the pool will border all four sides of the building, offering 360 degree panoramic views of Palm Jumeirah, Arabian Gulf and Dubai skyline.
The hotel will offer various dining experiences including a signature restaurant with sweeping city views located on the 51st level, a St. Regis Beach Club and an all-day restaurant, making it one of the most desirable addresses on The Palm. The hotel will also feature a public rooftop viewing deck on the 52nd floor. Located adjacent to the luxury Nakheel Mall and Al Ittihad Park, the hotel will also offer beach access to guests.
St. Regis made its debut in the Middle East in 2011 with The St. Regis Saadiyat Island Resort in Abu Dhabi, rapidly growing its portfolio in the Middle East with The St. Regis Doha, The St. Regis Abu Dhabi, and now, the newly opened St. Regis Dubai. The brand will enter Jordan with The St. Regis Amman in 2016 and in 2018 will open the brand’s first polo resort, The St. Regis Dubai Al Habtoor Polo Resort and Club.
