WE BROKE this story on January 27, 2015, on www.bwhotelier.com and it is official news today. St Regis Hotels & Resorts, the iconic luxury brand of Starwood Hotels & Resorts Worldwide, Inc., has announced it is making its debut in Mumbai in the third quarter of this year.
The Palladium Hotel in Lower Parel, Mumbai, owned by the Pallazzio Hotels & Leisure Ltd., is undergoing an extensive rebranding to qualify to fly the St. Regis flag, bringing bespoke luxury and refined elegance to the country’s commercial capital.
’We are very excited to bring the St. Regis brand to India,’ Dilip Puri, Managing Director (India) and Regional Vice-President (South Asia), Starwood Hotels & Resorts Worldwide, (see photo) said in the official announcement. ’Starwood is maintaining a strong growth momentum in the region and the arrival of St. Regis in Mumbai reinforces our commitment to growing our luxury portfolio in this important market. With the hotel’s strategic location, sophisticated service and refined elegance, we look forward to offering guests an unparalleled experience, both befitting of the destination and true to the St. Regis legacy.’
Commenting on the development, Mumbai real estate developer Amit Bhosale, Executive Director (ABIL) and Director, Pallazzio Hotels & Leisure Ltd., said: ’Starwood’s global reach and its powerful loyalty programme will further strengthen our outreach to affluent travellers and elevate India’s luxury hospitality landscape.’
Atul Ruia Managing Director, Phoenix Mills Ltd., and Director, Pallazzio Hotels & Leisure Ltd., added: ’With the St. Regis legacy and its renowned bespoke service, the St. Regis Mumbai is poised to become a destination for discerning luxury travellers and the city’s social glitterati.’
Less than half an hour from Mumbai’s Chhatrapati Shivaji International Airport, the new hotel will offer easy access to upscale restaurants and pubs, premium office space, chic boutiques and luxury real estate. Adjoining it is the famous Palladium Mall, the only luxury retail shopping centre in the city that houses some of the world’s most celebrated luxury brands.
The 38-storey St. Regis Mumbai will have 386 well-appointed guest rooms, including 60 suites. The hotel’s sophisticated culinary offerings will include an all-day dining restaurant featuring a wide range of gourmet selections from around the world, four specialty restaurants, a club lounge, and three bars. Guests will be able to savour world-renowned Bloody Mary cocktail as it used to be made when it was born at the flagship St. Regis New York in the early 1900s.
The St. Regis Mumbai will also have the brand’s signature Iridium Spa, which builds on a legacy that dates back to 1938, when The Iridium Room opened at the St. Regis New York. Since then, the spa brand has been known both for the enthralling design of its treatment suites and for traditions such as its signature tea ritual. Other leisure facilities at the St. Regis Mumbai include a swimming pool and a fitness centre. For meetings and events, the hotel will offer over 5,200 sq. m., which will include a 4,200 sq. m. grand ballroom.
The St. Regis Mumbai will join a growing portfolio of Starwood hotels in India where the company now operates 43 hotels; an additional 37 are in the pipeline. In addition to the St. Regis Mumbai, the company is set to debut more new hotels in the next two years, including W Retreat & Spa Goa, The Westin Kolkata, Sheraton Hyderabad, Le Meridien Nagpur and Aloft New Delhi Aerocity.
