With plans to nearly double its resorts portfolio in the next four years, St. Regis Hotels and Resorts says it is aiming to ‘solidify’ its position as a luxury leader by both expanding its global footprint and introducing the brand’s “visionary spirit, avant-garde style and bespoke service in some of the most dynamic and compelling markets across the globe.”

Beginning with the debut of The St. Regis hotel in New York by John Jacob Astor IV at the dawn of the 20th century, the iconic brand now boasts 49 hotels and 15 curated resorts around the world. There are 29 more projects in the pipeline, including 11 new across the Caribbean, North America, North Africa, Middle East and Asia Pacific expected by 2025. In total, the new developments represent growth of nearly 60% over the next five years.

“This is a pivotal moment…” says company VP George Flecks, adding, “Our resorts offer a leisure experience inspired by the glamorous private retreats of St. Regis’ founding family, the Astors, and we cannot wait to bring the brand’s spirit of invention and cherished traditions to some of the world’s most beguiling destinations.”

Fleck says guests will be able to discover “extraordinary resort experiences” from Los Cabos to Sanya, and Marrakech to the Riviera Maya.

Expanding its footprint in Mexico, St. Regis is expected to debut The St. Regis Kanai Resort this year and The St. Regis Los Cabos Resort in 2023.

Located in the Mayan Riviera, The St. Regis Kanai Resort will feature a sophisticated design that boasts breathtaking ocean views from every vantage point, with plans that call for 124 guest rooms and suites, as well as 32 exclusive villas with private pools.

The St. Regis Los Cabos Resort will be located on 13.4 hectares in Quivira, Los Cabos, featuring 365 m. of panoramic coastal views. The resort is expected to offer 120 rooms and 60 residences, as well as a spa, golf course, beach club and three distinctive dining experiences.

In the Middle East, the brand plans to grow its presence in Qatar with the soon-to-open St. Regis Marsa Arabia Island, The Pearl, which will feature architecture influenced by the distinct Andalusian and Arabesque style and offer stunning views of the Arabian Gulf.

With a continued focus on the Caribbean in the coming years, in 2024 St. Regis is expected to debut in Aruba with The St. Regis Aruba Palm Beach Resort, as well as in the Dominican Republic with the highly anticipated opening of The St. Regis Cap Cana Resort.

The brand also anticipates celebrating its entry into Oman in 2024 with The St. Regis Al Mouj Resort in Muscat. Additionally, St. Regis is expected to open a property in Africa, with the debut of The St. Regis Marrakech Resort slated for 2025.

St. Regis’ existing resort portfolio touches all corners of the globe, ranging from Bal Harbour to Bora Bora and Aspen to Abu Dhabi. Most recently, in May 2021, The St. Regis Bermuda Resort opened its doors in the historic town of St. George’s.

Other openings in 2021 included the St. Regis Qingdao in China and the St. Regis Bahia Beach Resort in Puerto Rico, which reopened following a US$60 million renovation.
