Celebrating its grand debut at the end of April, The St. Regis Singapore is the first significant hotel opening in Singapore in the past 11 years. Located in the downtown embassy district near the posh boutiques on Orchard Street, the hotel features 299 luxurious guestrooms and suites at one of the most prestigious addresses in the city.

“The St. Regis Singapore boasts a strategic location on Tanglin Road, a stone’s throw from Orchard Road, which is for Singapore what the Champs Elysees is for Paris,” said Miguel Ko, President of Starwood Hotels & Resorts, Asia Pacific.

Thanks to St. Regis first-class Butler Service, each guest can expect a stay customized to his or her specific preferences. The hotel’s lavishly decorated and spacious guest rooms and suites were designed by internationally acclaimed architects Wilson & Associates. Guest rooms offer excellent views of Singapore’s downtown and stunning interiors complete with full silk-shaded chandeliers, state-of-the-art technologies and exclusive bath amenities and spa toiletries by Laboratoire Remède.

“We define St. Regis by our guests and the experiences and services they demand and expect. Nothing less than an unrivaled dimension of luxury and bespoke service - from arrival to departure, and beyond - will do,” said Ross Klein, President, Starwood’s Luxury Brands Group. “From Singapore to Shanghai, Bora Bora to Buenos Aires, St. Regis is committed to designing custom-tailored guest experiences in the best addresses around the world.”

With modern French cuisine at Les Saveurs and delicate Cantonese dishes at the contemporary Yan Ting, dining at The St. Regis Singapore is a stylish affair. The trendy Mediterranean terrace restaurant La Brezza serves flavorful recipes from across the Mediterranean region, while the Astor Bar offers a relaxing venue for the famous St. Regis Bloody Mary. Rare and prestigious vintages are served at the elegant Decanter that houses over 1,500 labels and 3,000 bottles of fine wine.

Recently included in Condé Nast Traveler “Hot List”, St. Regis Singapore also offers one of the finest private art collections in the region with more than 40 original paintings and sculptures by world famous artists such as Chinese modernist pioneer Gu Gan, French painters Fernand Léger and Marc Chagall, Columbian artist Fernando Botero, and American architect Frank Gehry.

Also, in Asia’s First Remède Spa guests can enjoy revitalizing treatments inspired by the finest ancient rituals of the bathing art, aromatherapy multi-chamber steam rooms, wet treatment rooms with built-in infra red heated marble and cedar wood sauna.  

Additional facilities at St. Regis Singapore include more than 16,000 square feet of meeting and event space, the country’s first ballroom that features two skylights, an outdoor swimming pool, Fitness Club, indoor air-conditioned tennis court and an outdoor court.
