The development is a collaboration between Marriott International and PHC Queenstown Limited (the Pandey family), marking their third property together. The St. Regis Queenstown will join a growing pipeline for the brand in the Australia, New Zealand, and Pacific (ANZP) region, further elevating Queenstown's status as a world-class luxury destination.
The St. Regis Queenstown is expected to feature 145 guestrooms and suites, designed to blend the brand’s vanguard spirit with the natural beauty of the Otago region. Guests can expect the signature St. Regis Butler Service, which has been a staple of the brand for over a century, providing personalised experiences such as garment pressing, packing/unpacking services, and in-room beverage service.
The hotel’s culinary and social offerings will include:
The Drawing Room: A sophisticated space for the brand's signature afternoon tea.
The St. Regis Bar: Expected to feature a local interpretation of the brand's famous Bloody Mary.
All-Day Dining Restaurant: Serving curated local and international fare.
Event Space: For intimate gatherings and high-end celebrations.
For those seeking relaxation after a day on the slopes or exploring the Great Walks, The St. Regis Spa will offer a hydrothermal facilities zone and a dedicated wellness lounge. The property will also house an indoor heated pool and a state-of-the-art fitness centre.
The entry of St. Regis into the New Zealand market signifies Marriott’s strategic priority to expand its luxury footprint in the ANZP region. With Queenstown attracting over two million visitors annually, the arrival of such a prestigious brand is set to redefine the high-end hospitality landscape in the Adventure Capital of the World.
