Next door to the Embassy Suites resort, The St. Regis Aruba Resort is now open with 252 rooms and suites (one fifth of the inventory is dedicated to suites). Not only do they have panoramic beach and island views, but they take in the vast greenery of the natural reserve near the hotel.
Signature St. Regis touches are in place from elegant cabanas with refreshments by the pair of pools to butler service. Those butlers can also deliver coffee or tea at any hour of day or night to your room. There are six food and beverage venues with flavors including Caribbean, Japanese and Korean among others.
St. Regis regulars know they can watch champagne sabering rituals at sunset or tuck into a bespoke Bloody Mary. Did you know that each St. Regis around the world has its own Bloody Mary recipe? There is even a cocktail book about it. This concept pays homage to the original Bloody Mary being invented at its New York hotel.
All of this comes with the perks of the Marriott Bonvoy program. Those with elite status can take advantage of other perks such as late checkout considerations and potential room upgrades.
The St. Regis brand has been growing in recent years with an increasing focus on resort destinations. “As we continue to celebrate 120 years of timeless elegance, we remain deeply focused on growing our resort portfolio and solidifying St. Regis as the ultimate symbol of luxury leisure destinations and one-of-a-kind experiences,” says George Fleck, the senior vice president and global brand leader.
The St. Regis Aruba joins another luxurious Marriott Bonvoy sibling The Ritz-Carlton Aruba on this windy, and almost-always-hurricane-free island. Other amenities to look forward to include a kids’ club, casino, impressive spa and access to the beach.
