Soaring 51 stories above the shimmering expanse of Qianhai Bay, The St. Regis Shenzhen Bao’an arrives as a sculptural landmark, redefining the art of luxury in one of China’s most electric urban landscapes. Seamlessly blending the brand’s legacy of sophistication with the city’s relentless energy, the hotel offers a rarefied escape that is as timeless as it is forward-thinking.
“The debut of The St. Regis Shenzhen Bao’an marks a significant milestone as we expand our presence in this vibrant city, bringing a new level of elegance and bespoke service to the heart of one of China’s most exciting and dynamic districts,” said George Fleck, Senior Vice President and Global Brand Leader of St. Regis Hotels & Resorts. “This opening highlights our strategic focus on growth in rapidly evolving destinations, where we seamlessly blend St. Regis’ storied heritage with modern innovation, capturing the distinctive spirit of each locale to offer unparalleled experiences for the world’s most discerning travellers.”

Designed by internationally celebrated architect André Fu, the interiors narrate a nuanced dialogue between two metropolises – New York, where the St. Regis story began, and Shenzhen, the modern frontier of innovation. This duality is reflected in an aesthetic that oscillates between cosmopolitan grandeur and contemporary restraint. Expanses of dark oak parquet meet the luster of Carrara marble, while tonal harmonies of sage green and deep terracotta ground the interiors in a sensorial calm. Timber lattice screens and alabaster lighting introduce sculptural warmth, framing floor-to-ceiling views that stretch toward the South China Sea.
The St. Regis legacy is woven through each experience, from the brand’s signature Butler Service to its thoughtfully curated culinary offerings. Helmed by culinary virtuoso Watson Chen, Yan Ting reinterprets classic Cantonese gastronomy through a modern lens, balancing heritage with artistic innovation. The St. Regis Bar serves up the Bay Mary – a tribute to Shenzhen’s maritime spirit – infused with lychee and osmanthus. Meanwhile, the Astor Terrace Bar, a sky-high sanctuary, invites guests to revel in twilight cocktails as the city transforms beneath them.
Wellness is approached with equal precision. The St. Regis Spa distills global influences into a suite of bespoke treatments, offering a sanctuary of rejuvenation, while a 25-metre infinity pool seems to dissolve into the horizon, an ethereal counterpoint to the city’s restless dynamism.
The hotel’s commitment to impeccable hospitality extends to its event spaces, where the 696-square-metre pillarless Astor Ballroom sets the stage for grand affairs. Whether hosting intimate gatherings or large-scale celebrations, The St. Regis Shenzhen Bao’an ensures every detail is an exercise in precision and elegance.
In a city that thrives on reinvention, The St. Regis Shenzhen Bao’an stands as a testament to design-driven luxury, a seamless convergence of heritage and innovation that speaks to the modern travel connoisseur.
