St. Regis Hotels & Resorts partnered
Bentley Motors to develop the first Bentley Suite in the Middle
East.
The Bentley Suite at The St. Regis Dubai
in Al Habtoor City, inspired by the bespoke craftsmanship of the
Bentley Mulsanne, is the third Bentley Suite in the world
following the launch of suites at The St. Regis New York in 2012
and The St. Regis Istanbul last year.
“We are proud to extend our global partnership
with Bentley to the Middle East where we recently unveiled the
first of three St. Regis hotels to open in Dubai,” said Jim Petrus,
Global Brand Leader, St. Regis Hotels & Resorts. “The Bentley
Suite at The St. Regis Dubai in Al Habtoor City is designed for
the modern aficionado of luxury and performance, exemplifying the
heritage and commitment to excellence of both brands.”
The Bentley Suite, designed by Wimberly Interiors, features
hand-crafted finishes and one-of-a-kind furnishings throughout. Located on the fourth floor of The St. Regis Dubai, the
custom-designed one-bedroom Bentley Suite features a spacious
entry foyer, generous living room and dining area with floor to
ceiling windows overlooking the hotel’s manicured gardens, as well
as a lavish marble bathroom, walk-in wardrobe and dedicated
dressing area.
“We are honoured to continue our design partnership
with St. Regis with the debut of the Bentley Suite in Dubai, and
look forward to collaborating with St. Regis and Bentley Motors on innovations in the future,”
said Liana Hawes, Creative
Director, Wimberly Interiors.
Upon entering the 195
square metre (2,098 square feet) suite through bespoke
Bentley-painted double doors, guests are greeted by the defining
characteristics of the luxury automobile brand: a blend of cream
and neutral tones, set against the rich wood finishes, elegant
marble floors and leather accents on handcrafted furnishings. The
entrance to the suite features polished steel detailing and a
sleek walnut veneer ceiling.
In the living room, an LED chandelier inspired by the headlights of the Mulsanne takes center stage above the 12-seat, smoked fiddleback
veneer dining table.
Adding to the room’s mix of rich textures is
a carved rug reminiscent of the matrix grille on the Mulsanne.
Consistent with Bentley’s ‘hidden delights’ concept, the main wall
slides back to expose a TV screen and five Breitling clocks
keeping time across major gateway cities.
The
adjacent study echoes Bentley’s signature Mulliner room with
veneer walls, a silk carpet and a luxurious porpoise sofa adorned
with cushions featuring Bentley seat belt detailing. Offering
residential serenity, this study interprets the signature concept
of concealing to reveal a custom made multi-compartment coffee
table and Bentley ice lacquer and porpoise hide tray detail.
The master bedroom features stitched leather walls and
bedside tables inspired by the Mulsanne Speed wing emblem in Burr walnut. In the dressing room, Bentley’s signature diamond
detailing is etched into the frame of the mirror.
Designed
and engineered in Crewe from the ground-up, the Mulsanne is the
pinnacle Bentley model and epitomizes Bentley’s heritage and
passion for power and speed.
In addition to the Bentley Suite, The
St. Regis Dubai offers guests an exquisite Bentley Mulsanne as its
signature courtesy car.
Complementing the collaboration, the
hotel’s St. Regis Bar features a mural of a vintage Bentley Mulsanne by artist Roberto Raad.
Rates for the suite start from AED 25,000 per night.
