Located on the expansive Dubai Water Canal, The St. Regis Downtown combines the spirit of its New York sister property with the very best of what the city’s modern financial Downtown district has to offer. In terms of location, all of the famed landmarks are within easy reach, from the world’s largest shopping mall, the Dubai Mall, to the world’s tallest building – Burj Khalifa. Inside, the aesthetic is classic through a Middle Eastern lens. Rooms are generous in size, each with floor-to-ceiling windows that overlook either the Dubai Water Canal or Burj Khalifa – two very good options – and access to the legendary St Regis butler service as standard. The hotel also has the first St. Regis Spa in the Middle East, impressively spread across six therapy suites including a Hammam. Signature treatments include a purifying 24-carat gold facial (this is Dubai, remember) along with flotation pod therapy and a traditional Moroccan Hammam.
