St Regis debuts in Thailand

1 April 2011 04:39:07 GMT


Starwood Hotels & Resorts has announced the debut of the first St. Regis hotel in Thailand. The St. Regis Bangkok has been developed by Rajadamri Lodging Limited, an affiliate of Minor International Public Company Limited.

Designed by world-renowned Brennan Beer Gorman Architects, the St. Regis Bangkok is situated on the prestigious Rajadamri Road in the heart of the city and, at 47 storeys, is destined to become one of the defining silhouettes on the city’s dynamic skyline.

The St. Regis Bangkok features 227 guestrooms including 51 suites with luxury amenities, services and various dining options. The hotel will also be the first hotel in Bangkok to introduce butler service to all its guests in addition to the first Elemis Spa and ZUMA restaurant in Thailand.
 
“We are proud to debut the first St. Regis hotel in Thailand with the opening of The St. Regis Bangkok, offering our discerning guests access to the distinguished St. Regis legacy with the highest expression of personalization, refined elegance and uncompromised guest experiences,” said Paul James, Global Brand Leader, St. Regis Hotels & Resorts and The Luxury Collection. “With its vibrant cosmopolitan energy and rich cultural heritage, Bangkok is one of the world’s most coveted destinations for global travelers, and The St. Regis Bangkok is destined to become the social and commercial hub of Bangkok.”
 
“We are thrilled with the landmark entry of the St. Regis brand into Thailand,” commented Andreas Oberoi, General Manager of The St. Regis Bangkok.  “The St. Regis Bangkok will be ideally positioned to cater to both influential business travelers and discerning leisure travelers to Bangkok, arguably one of the world’s best cities and the tourism capital of Asia.”

Guestrooms and suites at the St. Regis are Bangkok’s most spacious and luxurious.  Ranging in size from 45 to 250 square meters, each room is exquisitely styled and lavishly appointed, providing travelers with a luxurious respite from the hectic urban pace.

Floor-to-ceiling windows offer unobstructed views of the city skyline and the greenery of the local parks and golf course.  The rooms are meticulously designed, blending ornate artistry and local materials inspired by the region’s culture with dramatic contemporary décor and modern touches.  The natural wooden floors are accented with lush carpets and plush upholstery, and the guest rooms feature luxurious beds with sumptuous 300-count Egyptian linens, lush bath towels and robes, flat screen cable televisions and wireless internet access.  The larger signature suites feature generously appointed pantries that are ideal for extended stays.
 
Following in the tradition of the legendary St. Regis New York, The St. Regis Bangkok will feature the famed hallmark of St. Regis hotels – signature St. Regis Butler Service – which offers unparalleled round-the-clock personal attention to every guest.  Trained in the English tradition, the butlers provide ever-present yet unobtrusive service while anticipating residents’ needs.
 
The St. Regis Bangkok offers a wide range of dining venues featuring international and local cuisines guaranteed to please the most discerning and diverse of palettes – all accompanied by sweeping, panoramic views of the surrounding vibrant city.  At Viu, the international grill restaurant located on the 12th floor next to the Sky Lounge, guests will enjoy an elegant dining experience that includes lavish menus featuring the freshest ingredients. JoJo, an exceptional Italian dining venue offers diners a taste of authentic Italian cuisine and fine wines in a distinctly elegant and modern setting, including high tables and a 20-seat bar.  Through the artistic use of sliding panels and ambient lighting, the visually compelling venue’s mood transforms from day to night and is a perfect place to enjoy breakfast, lunch or dinner.  For wine enthusiasts and connoisseurs, Decanter features an extensive wine cellar from the world’s most celebrated vineyards with private rooms for exclusive tastings and wine dinners.  The Drawing Room is a rare haven of refined luxury in which guests are welcome to enjoy the enduring tradition of Afternoon Tea.  Or, for a more casual setting, enjoy delectable cuisine and drinks poolside in an alfresco setting at Pool Bar, an oasis of serenity with breathtaking city views. 
 
The St. Regis Bangkok will also feature the first ZUMA restaurant in Thailand this July.  ZUMA Bangkok will emulate the original London restaurant with its Lounge Bar, Sushi Counter and an extensive terrace with a dramatic restaurant bar.
 
The St. Regis Bangkok is home to the first Elemis Spa in South East Asia and one of only four Elemis Signature Spas worldwide. Treatments are provided in fifteen therapy suites designed as private sanctuaries in soothing sand and cream tones with accents of soft white leather and silvery Thai silk. Treatment rooms include state-of-the-art skin and body care equipment, a marble and mosaic wet room, single and double Thai massage rooms with traditional platforms and couple’s suites with glass showers and soaking baths that provide breathtaking views of the city.  Special relaxation zones are designed to help guests decompress before and after treatments including men’s and women’s steam rooms, Jacuzzis, cold plunge pools and experience showers that allow for a personalized selection of water pressure, lighting and music.
