Boutique hotels boasting a chain that weaves its way into numerous countries and cultures across the world all have one thing in common: unabashed luxury. It is this that propels their reputation into new continents and countries, carving a route for new builds and infrastructure to attract discerning travellers.
Once such brand synonomous with this is St. Regis, a name that is committed to delivering exceptional experiences at over 30 luxury hotels and resorts in the best addresses within the pages of the atlas. Since the opening of the first St. Regis hotel in New York City over a century ago by John Jacob Astor IV, the brand has remained steadfast to an uncompromising level of bespoke and anticipatory service for all of its guests.
Two of their latest hotels and resorts stick to his theme, with their debut in India with the highly anticipated St. Regis Mumbai in the third quarter of 2015. Owned by Pallazzio Hotels & Leisure Ltd., the Palladium Hotel is currently undergoing an extensive rebranding and will soon fly the St. Regis flag, bringing bespoke luxury and refined elegance to the city of Mumbai. Located in Lower Parel, one of the most prestigious addresses in the city, the hotel combines timeless sophistication with modern luxury and is a befitting debut for the St. Regis brand in this fast growing market.
Another one to watch is the St. Regis Dubai, which will feature 235 luxuriously-appointed guest rooms, including 49 elegant suites. The 5-storey hotel will also offer extensive state-of-the-art meeting and event space as well as a wide range of luxury experiences with eight distinctive culinary, lounge and bar venues, a signature spa, swimming pool, a state-of-the-art fitness centre and an elegant ballroom.
When venturing into the unknown – one of the many joys of travelling – one certainty that reassures is the level of accomadation, a base to return to at the end of a day’s exploration, or simply never leave, such is its allure. In this vein, St. Regis do not disappoint.
