St. Regis Hotel Opens in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia

Dark/Light Mode (21/11/23)  Marriott has expanded its enviable portfolio of luxury hotels around the globe, with the opening of a St. Regis hotel in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

The St. Regis Riyadh is the only hotel in the heart of Via Riyadh, a recently launched destination that is home to designer boutiques, Michelin- star restaurants and a luxury cinema.

Designed by Kristina Zanic and cast from ancient Tuwaiq mountain stone found in the south of the country, the hotel embodies Salmani architecture, exuding modernity while celebrating local design.

Guests are greeted in the lobby by a curved sculptural grand staircase and a crystal chandelier depicting pages of a history book, an interpretation of the country’s storied past and the new being written.

“The opening of The St. Regis Riyadh ushers in a new benchmark of luxury in Saudi Arabia offering guests a modern viewpoint on bespoke service, sophisticated dining and avant-garde design set within a new, iconic landmark in the capital,” said Jenni Benzaquen, SVP and Global Brand Leader, The Ritz-Carlton and St. Regis. “We are thrilled to welcome guests and debut the brand’s legacy, modern design and architecture to this dynamic and evolving destination.”

The St. Regis Riyadh features 83 guestrooms including 21 suites and an expansive two-bedroom Royal Suite with separate living and dining areas, a pantry and library.

Light and spacious, the guestrooms boast floor-to-ceiling windows, large open bathrooms, and walk-in wardrobes.

The hotel features a variety of F&B outlets. The Drawing Room serves coffee and artisan pastries throughout the day and Afternoon Tea, a signature tradition of St. Regis.

Inspired by Jackie Kennedy Onassis’ love of the Mediterranean, Jackie celebrates American Greek cuisine from timeless classics to the chef’s speciality recipes including a Goats Cheese and Tomato Red Snapper Jelly and Maine Lobster Bisque.

On the rooftop, Stella Sky is a lively space that transitions from day to night. Situated around the outdoor pool with views across the city, by day guests can laze on plush sunbeds sipping mocktails and by night take a seat indoors to enjoy live entertainment, sheesha and a live station serving sushi and sashimi infused with Saudi spices.

The hotel's signature St. Regis Bar features a striking mural that captures Arabesque motifs with elaborate woven wools, embroidery, and beading. The St. Regis Bar offers a ‘Regal Mary’ mocktail, a local take on the brand’s signature Bloody Mary infused with dates, turmeric and sumac.

In addition, the hotel boasts a choice of meeting and event spaces, a rooftop pool with views over Via Riyadh, a fully equipped gym, a spa with four treatment rooms, a couple’s suite, saunas, steam rooms, ice fountains and jacuzzis.

“The St. Regis Riyadh offers a distinct point of view on luxury and brings the brand’s storied heritage to Via Riyadh. The destination is quickly becoming popular with residents and global travellers alike and is in line with the country’s Vision 2030. We look forward to offering guests exceptional experiences that reflect both the history of the destination and the exquisite experiences synonymous with the iconic St. Regis brand,” said Marina Krasnobrizhaya, General Manager for The St. Regis Riyadh.
