Unrestrained luxury and unrivalled city views on Abu Dhabi’s corniche.
Home to the highest active helipad in the Middle East, The St. Regis Abu Dhabi offers guests unrestrained luxury at the end of Abu Dhabi’s glittering corniche.
The slender glass facade of this five-star landmark offers an instantly recognisable landmark and one of the most desirable addresses in the UAE capital for those in search of a comfortable stay, destination dining and a relaxed beach club. The St. Regis Abu Dhabi seemingly has it all.
Greeted at the valet by the chipper staff, we immediately feel at home as we pass through the revolving glass doors and into the entranceway. Here we’re embraced by the regal charm of a property that feels undeniably classic despite its modern build. Crystal chandeliers illuminate a charming space anchored around a sweeping staircase that leads upwards towards The St. Regis Bar. Check-in is quick and efficient taking place in a recessed area resembling a quaint library.
Sumptuous Stays
Our Superior King Room offers unrivalled views from Qasr Al Watan to Marina Village and the dunes of LuLu Island, and these panoramic vistas that keep us enraptured from day until night. The spacious accommodation epitomises timeless Arabic elegance befitting the location, with gold silk curtains, sand-coloured walls and floor-to-ceiling windows. Drawing inspiration from the locale, its rolling desert dunes and colourful spice souks, the rooms pay homage to the UAE and its remarkable culture while offering the luxury and sophistication upon which The St. Regis brand has built its sterling reputation.
Lavish bedding, state-of-the-art technology and a Statuario Royal marble bathroom with onyx accents add an elegant ambience to the multi-faceted room that is ideal for work or play. While you may not want to leave the comfortable surroundings (and those cosy robes and slippers), this five-star property offers plenty to explore.
Debonair Dining
The St. Regis Abu Dhabi is known as much for its dining repertoire as it is for its luxurious abodes. From the splendid seafood on display at Catch at St. Regis to sundowners at Azure Panoramic Lounge or the decadent afternoon tea Crystal Lounge, this urban retreat offers an abundance of options for drinking and dining.
A bountiful breakfast buffet and selection of appealing theme nights are held at the all-day-dining restaurant, Terrace on the Corniche. With the weekly seafood night being of particular note. Elsewhere diners can revel in Italian authenticity at the Tuscan themed Villa Toscana, which offers homemade pasta, classic Italian dishes and a curated grape list in an environment resembling a homely farmhouse deep within the Italian countryside.
It’s this ability to curate memorable dining experiences that keep things fresh, especially when you have afternoon tea on a helipad to contend with! This exclusive experience is limited to a handful of guests each month. Allowing those lucky enough to secure a reservation the chance to dine on sandwiches, pastries, cakes and scones 225 metres up in the air. Perfect for a special occasion or date night, guests will not want to leave having taken in the 360-degree city views as the sun slopes behind the horizon.
Fun-filled facilities
An air-conditioned tunnel beneath the hotel leads to Nation Riviera Beach Club, where guests are rewarded with a 200-metre stretch of pristine beachfront. Here you can enjoy the ocean or the adjacent swimming pool, set amidst manicured gardens and gurgling water features. For something a little more active, guests can partake in water sports, enjoy the fitness centre, take long strolls on the beach, sip on a poolside cocktail or relax at the Remède Spa. You set the pace at The St. Regis Abu Dhabi, and the property will deliver.
Those checking into The St. Regis Abu Dhabi can expect unrestrained luxury, excellent facilities, a beautiful brunch and some of the best dining experiences that money can buy. So isn’t it about time you booked your stay?
