The luxury St Regis Riyadh, situated in the heart of the Saudi capital, represents a fusion of the brand’s time-honored traditions from New York’s Fifth Avenue and 55th Street with the vibrant culture of Saudi Arabia.
“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.”
Positioned at the entrance of the Diplomatic Quarter and near the central business district, the hotel is a haven amidst lush scenery, with designer boutiques, top-tier restaurants, and luxury cinemas nearby. It showcases Salmani architecture with its construction from Tuwaiq mountain stone, blending modernity with local design elements. The lobby features a grand staircase and a crystal chandelier, symbolizing the nation’s rich history and present.
Kristina Zanic’s design of the hotel beautifully integrates traditional and modern aesthetics, displaying contemporary art pieces. The St. Regis Riyadh offers 83 luxurious rooms, including 21 suites and a Royal Suite, all featuring panoramic windows, spacious bathrooms, and tasteful decor reflecting the brand’s sophisticated style with local influences. The St. Regis Butler Service enhances the guest experience with personalised attention.
The hotel boasts various dining venues, including The Drawing Room and Jackie, which offers American Greek cuisine inspired by Jackie Kennedy Onassis. Stella Sky, a rooftop space, provides an immersive experience with its stargazing-themed interiors and diverse culinary offerings.
The St. Regis Bar is another highlight, featuring a breath-taking mural and offering a local twist on the brand’s signature drink. The hotel’s spa provides a tranquil retreat with a range of luxurious treatments, complemented by a rooftop pool and a state-of-the-art gym.
“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.
The hotel opening is a landmark achievement for Marriott International, being their 500th luxury hotel worldwide.
