The St. Regis Belgrade has debuted in the Serbian capital, marking the brand’s first entry into the eastern European country. The property had originally been flagged to launch in 2019.
The newly built The St. Regis Belgrade stands tall as a striking 42-storey tower located in the city’s most coveted address – where the Sava and Danube rivers meet and on the premises of the landmark Belgrade Waterfront. This highly desirable location places guests within walking distance of historical sites. Part of a monumental urban revitalisation project, it promises to become an appealing destination for both locals and global travellers alike.
“Sitting at the intersection of Western and Eastern Europe, the city of Belgrade has been shaped by centuries of history, featuring a unique and diverse range of architectural styles, from medieval fortresses to modern skyscrapers,” – said Helen Leighton, Vice President Luxury Brands & Communications, EMEA, Marriott International.
The design concept of The St. Regis Belgrade pays homage to the city’s architectural heritage and unique blend of old and new, epitomising Belgrade as “the city of two halves.” The exterior glass shell is shaped to give a fluid and dynamic vertical expression to the tower, mimicking the fluidity of the two city rivers. In the interiors, traditional Serbian patterns and inspirations woven throughout, are masterfully blended with shades of deep blues, soft grays and warm earth tones that reflect a modern palette.
The seamless integration of Belgrade’s character into the refined modern design of the hotel, ensures guests experience the city’s essence in every detail, from the local flavors highlighted in the culinary creations, to the bespoke experiences and anticipatory service curated by the signature St. Regis Butler Service.
The St. Regis Belgrade offers 119 guest rooms, including 17 suites and a sprawling 192 sqm Presidential Suite with unparalleled 240-degree panoramic city views. The design is sophisticated and highly curated, featuring an elegant palette of soft and warm earth and blue colors that highlight the essence of Belgrade.
The hotel signature Caroline Astor Suite is enriched with a bespoke collection of luxury sleepwear, exclusively curated by the Serbian fashion designer Aleksandar Zabunović; a true ode to timeless elegance that celebrates the art of refined relaxation. Inspired by the iconic motifs of both brands, the collection effortlessly intertwines the St. Regis diamond pattern – a hallmark of sophistication and grandeur – with the delicate allure of the orchid, the signature emblem of the Zabunović brand.
The hotel’s dining concepts introduce fresh, inventive venues, adding a premiere culinary offering to the vibrant Serbian capital. Transporting epicurean connoisseurs to New York’s inimitable dining scene, Savant Brasserie offers sophisticated interpretations of classic dishes, expertly infused with the flavours of the Serbian terroir and locally sourced ingredients. Meanwhile, Rise Patisserie, celebrates Belgrade’s rich coffee culture featuring St. Regis’ signature Afternoon Tea Ritual, accompanied by a menu of elevated delicacies and handcrafted pastries.
Embodying the celebratory soul of Belgrade, The St. Regis Bar stands as the centerpiece to a truly immersive cocktail experience. Guests are here invited to unwind in the jazz-inspired ambiance, sampling an exceptional selection of Serbian wines and brandies, as well as international classics, including the hotel’s twist on the Bloody Mary, Essentially Quince. Adjacent to The St. Regis Bar a special Wine Room offers an exclusive space for wine-themed dinners and tastings curated by the hotel’s Cellar Master and Executive Chef.
The St. Regis Spa features an indoor pool, sauna, steam bath and a fully equipped gym. With meticulously curated body and facial treatments performed by Sothys products in five opulent rooms, tailored wellness awaits discerning guests.
Preserving the timeless traditions of St. Regis, The St. Regis Belgrade will offer a series of signature rituals such as Afternoon Tea, a refined gathering inspired by the legacy of Mrs. Caroline Astor, the Evening Sabrage, celebrating the transition from day to night, and the Bloody Mary cocktail, blending local flavours, including Serbia’s famous quince rakija.
