It’s all about location, location, location at the St. Regis Downtown… right in the heart of the downtown action for its second property.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Set right on the Business Bay canal promenade, walking trails sit outside while the Dubai Mall is minutes away.
The rooms
Floor-to-ceiling windows frame the Burj Khalifa or canal, alongside coral artwork, warm wood accents, and marble bathrooms with freestanding tubs.
The pool
Bring a swimsuit.
The third-floor infinity pool looks straight out over the Dubai Water Canal, lined with private cabanas and sun loungers.
The spa
Treatment suites host Moroccan hammam rituals and gold facials, and an arched meditation room is set with singing bowls.
The gym
Technogym treadmills line the timber-slatted fitness room, with dedicated spaces set aside for yoga and meditation.
Restaurant
TABU
Tiered gold chandeliers hang above the dining room, where modern Japanese dishes are served against city skyline views.
Restaurant
BASTA!
Double-height glass walls look out on the canal in this Italian dining room serving wood-fired pizzas and handmade pastas.
At the table
The St. Regis Bar serves cocktails beneath a starlit fiberoptic ceiling, and The Library pours daily afternoon tea.
How it began
Debuting on the Business Bay waterfront in 2021, the property brought the brand's Gilded Age heritage to the Dubai Water Canal.
