"We define St. Regis by our guests and the experiences and services they demand and expect. Nothing less than an unrivalled dimension of luxury and bespoke service - from arrival to departure, and beyond - will do," said Ross Klein, President, Starwood's Luxury Brands Group. "Truly one of the world's most intriguing destinations, Singapore is a richly textured cosmopolitan metropolis perfect for our global St. Regis guests. From Singapore to Shanghai, Bora Bora to Buenos Aires, St. Regis is committed to designing custom-tailored guest experiences in the best addresses around the world."

The new St. Regis Singapore was recently included in the highly coveted Conde Nast Traveler "Hot List" naming the hottest new hotels, restaurants and spas around the world. The hotel's generously proportioned and lavishly decorated guest rooms and suites were designed by architects Wilson & Associates. Guest rooms offer stunning vistas of Singapore's downtown as well as resplendent interiors complete with full silk-shaded chandeliers, state-of-the-art technologies and exclusive bath amenities and spa toiletries. One of the hotel's most compelling features is its awe-inspiring, private art collection - one of the finest in Asia. Highlights include rare masterpieces by famous artists such as Joan Miro, Marc Chagall and Fernando Botero.

The St. Regis Singapore houses the first Remede Spa to open in Asia. Guests can choose among a wide range of customized, revitalizing treatments inspired by the finest ancient rituals of the bathing art. The extraordinary spa offers wet treatment rooms with built-in infra red heated marble, cedar wood sauna, aromatherapy multi-chamber steam rooms, ice fountain and a unique warm jade treatment available for the first time in Singapore.

Dining at The St. Regis Singapore is a stylish affair, ranging from modern French cuisine at Les Saveurs to delicate Cantonese dishes at the chic, contemporary Yan Ting Chinese restaurant. LaBrezz serves flavourful dishes from across the Mediterranean on the hotel's terrace, while the elegant Decanter offers rare and prestigious vintages. The Astor Bar, named after John Jacob Astor IV - the renowned founder of the St. Regis brand - provides a relaxing venue for the famous St. Regis creation, the Bloody Mary. Guests will also discover an enticing array of teas at The Drawing Room.

An ideal choice for meetings in one of Asia's leading business capitals, The St. Regis Singapore also offers more than 16,000 square feet of meeting and event space including the grand John Jacob Ballroom - the only ballroom in Singapore to feature skylights. Additional facilities include a scenic outdoor swimming pool, Fitness Club, indoor air-conditioned tennis court and an outdoor court.

Following in the tradition of the legendary St. Regis Hotel, New York, The St. Regis Singapore will feature the famed hallmarks of St. Regis hotels including the iconic St. Regis Butler Service, bespoke guest experiences and luxury accommodations tailored to global travellers. Trained in the English tradition, the butlers provide ever-present, yet unobtrusive service while anticipating guest needs and customizing each guest's stay according to his or her specific tastes and preferences.
