A stone’s throw away from busy, noisy Sheikh Zayed Road, we wondered how relaxing a stay at St Regis Dubai could really be. As we entered the green, long driveway leading up to the elegant building, we felt more like we were in Provence headed towards a French chateaux.

 

The Welcome

@stregisdubai opened in 2016 on Sheikh Zayed Road, a haven of tranquility close to bustling #DowntownDubai. The valet opened the door for us after taking care of Bentleys and Rolls Royce’s in the driveway. When we entered the lobby, our eyes were drawn upwards with a grand spiral staircase, up, up towards a dazzling chandelier. It’s sophisticated, old world charm made us feel like we needed to brush up on our French… or at least speak in a French accent.

Sweet Suite

Standout: The #Bentley suite with bespoke leather finishing, colours and wood veneers that combine the glamour of#Bentley with the grace of the @stregis brand.

 

Relax

Read through #fashion #magazines while lounging poolside in a stylish cabana in the Rooftop Garden. Yes, Dubai’s busiest highway is literally right next to this, but you can’t hear a thing!

Food-tastic

Australian full blood Wagyu steak at J&G Steakhouse is an absolute must-try. With a price tag that will raise eyebrows (about Dhs700 for this dish), you’ll want to finish your whole plate, but it will be worth every bite. Pair with a merlot to complete your decadent meal.

Be sure to check out the gorgeous #interiordesign at cafe on the first floor – a parisienne cafe perfect for an afternoon tea, canapés and gossip with your girls.

Hot stone massage at #IridiumSpa is absolute heaven.
