A wide array of world-class restaurants and lounges are situated on the top floors of The St. Regis Shenzhen where breathtaking views accompany exceptional cuisine. Each with its unique setting, distinct ambience and outstanding menus, the collection of culinary venues promise to surpass the discerning tastes of St. Regis guests and local residents alike.

Shenzhen’s First Iridium Spa
Exclusive to St. Regis Hotels & Resorts, Iridium Spa complements The St. Regis Shenzhen with the bespoke touches of a rare spa experience and treatments tailored to guests’ elemental needs, as precious as the metal for which the spa is named. Building on a legacy that dates back to 1938 and the grand opening of The Iridium Room at The St. Regis New York, Iridium Spa articulates the same distinctive elegance—both in the enthralling design of its treatment suites and in thoughtful gestures like a signature tea ritual. Located on the 75th floor, the 700 square meters Iridium Spa at The St. Regis Shenzhen will feature eight treatment suites, including two large couples suites and a Vichy Shower suite.
