The hotel
A suite between two towers.
The St. Regis opened in September 2013 in Nation Towers, a pair of towers on the Corniche. HBA designed the interiors with local studios, and the lobby is cream marble and rich wood, with a staircase on either side. A door leads straight into the Nation Galleria mall, and a marble tunnel under the Corniche road takes guests to the beach.
The building's showpiece is the Abu Dhabi Suite, set about 650 feet above the ground between the two towers on the 48th and 49th floors. It covers more than 11,600 square feet, with three bedrooms, a majlis, a spa, a cinema and a lift of its own. Every room in the hotel, down to the smallest, has a butler, which is the St. Regis custom.
- Nation Riviera Beach Club Across the road, through the tunnel: a private beach of 200 metres, a temperature-controlled pool and a supervised kids' area called Treasure Island.
- The butlers They pack, unpack, press and draw baths, and you can ask for a coffee on WhatsApp.
- The St. Regis Spa About 3,200 square metres of spa, with a gym alongside.
