A select delegation from Qatar had the chance to enjoy an exclusive insight into the distinctive St. Regis brand recently, as the build-up to the opening of The St. Regis Doha continues.

The delegation of fashionistas and trend-setters from Qatar and the wider region were invited to The St. Regis Singapore, to enjoy the world-renowned century old traditions, customized service and refined elegance that are all synonymous with the St. Regis.

“The St. Regis will be a high-profile new hospitality brand in the Middle East. With a number of major launches expected in the coming months, we are working with our colleagues around the world to introduce the St. Regis and share our excitement about the amazing difference The St. Regis Doha will bring,” explained Tareq Derbas, General Manager, The St. Regis Doha.

The St. Regis Singapore organised an exciting three day programme of events familiarizing the guests not only with the hotel, but also culture and attractions of Singapore, from the traditional IntanPeranakan Museum to Orchard Road’s popular shopping district.

St. Regis hotels and resorts can be found across the globe, each offering a distinct expression of its location. A hallmark of the St. Regis brand is ever-present yet unobtrusive personal Butlers catering to every guest’s specific tastes and preferences.

The St. Regis is the only hotel in Singapore with Butler service and The St. Regis Doha will replicate this tradition in Qatar for every resident guest.

These beautiful settings and flawless attention to detail are just a few of the ways St. Regis delights and enthrals its guests and Doha visitors and residents will discover this for themselves from January 2012.

The St. Regis Doha, part of the Al Gassar Resort, will feature 336 guest rooms, including 70 suites, all with sea views. In addition, the hotel will offer more than 4,000 square meters of meeting and conference space, over 100m of private beachfront, a selection of exciting restaurants and lounges, plus the Remède Spa with over 20 treatment rooms.
