St. Regis Dubai Opens $20,420 Suite
The 234-room hotel opens the Imperial Suite for the world’s 1%, raising the stakes in high-end game.
The $20,420-a-night Imperial Suite is the latest addition to the St. Regis Dubai and is actuallyĀ larger than the hotel ballroom at 913-square-feet (85 square meters). To put it into perspective, that is around $7,000 more than the two-bedroom Royal Suite offered by the Burj Al Arab, which offers everything from butler service, a private beach, and 24-carat, gold-plated iPads.
What sets the St. Regis Imperial Suite apart are two floors worth of elegant, stately furnishings linked together by an in-room spiral staircase. The staircase leads up to the central dome of the hotel where there is a rooftop plunge pool and majlis (which in Arabic means āa place of sittingā) that offer panoramic views of landscaped gardens. Along with three bedrooms, the suite also features a living room, 12-seater dining rooms, a study, and lounge area.
On the technology side, the suite provides complimentary Wi-Fi (who doesn’t these days) and two HDTVs. Thereās also a well and carefully stocked mini-bar and butler service. Ample dining for 12 people will be provided.
The St. Regis Dubai is located in Al Habtoor City and has 234-rooms. The hotel is styled with French beaux-arts architecture and neo-classical interiors and opened last year. Thereās even a one-bedroom Bentley suite for car aficionados upholstered in leather finishes, colors, patterns and wood veneers reminiscent of the Mulsanne, the brand’s flagship performance luxury car.
