St Regis to enter Australia

THE St Regis Hotels and Resorts luxury brand is set to enter Australia in 2022, with the company revealing it has signed a deal for The St Regis Melbourne.

Owned by Century Group Aus, the property will be located in the mixed-use precinct Flinders Bank on the corner of Spencer and Flinders streets.

The 33-storey Flinders Bank will house the hotel across levels two to 11 and include 168 rooms and suites, all with views of the Yarra River or city skyline.

Food and beverage offerings will include a specialty restaurant, Drawing Room space and the St Regis Bar.

The St Regis Melbourne will have a fitness and wellness centre with a 25-metre indoor swimming pool and an Iridium Spa and beauty salon.

Guests will also have access to the St Regis Butler Service and the property will be positioned as “an ideal setting for exclusive corporate gatherings, special events and weddings”.

“This signing is an indication of the investment community’s confidence in the Australian hotel market, where we are seeing a growing demand for premium lodgings,” said Richard Crawford, senior director, hotel development, Australia, New Zealand and the Pacific at Marriott International.

“The St Regis Melbourne will be an outstanding addition to our strong and growing footprint in the region, where we are on track to boast the largest portfolio of upper upscale and luxury hotels and resorts, with two-thirds of the new supply pipeline.”
