Inspired by the local culture and its ocean surroundings, the new-build St. Regis Xiamen is slated to feature 260 guest rooms and suites with enchanting coastal views.
The hotel expects to offer five distinct culinary venues including an all-day dining experience, a restaurant featuring Chinese fare, and an exclusive signature restaurant, in addition to the brand’s traditional Drawing Room and St. Regis Bar.
The hotel anticipates including a fitness center, indoor swimming pool, St. Regis Spa, and a 300 square meter Children Club with an indoor and outdoor playground featuring the brand’s Family Traditions programming.
The St. Regis Xiamen also expects to provide 1,800 square meters of banquet meeting space for celebrations and iconic gatherings.
“We are honored to celebrate the signing of The St. Regis Xiamen with the team at Marriott International. It is very exciting to bring the brand’s hallmark services, storied legacy and exceptional luxury to Xiamen,” said Zhu Hengbing, General Manager of Shengyuan Environmental Protection Co., Ltd..
“Located in the heart of Xiamen’s cross-strait financial center and overlooking a breathtaking seascape, we anticipate the hotel will set a new benchmark for luxury hospitality in the destination.”
