Seen as that breath of fresh air the hospitality industry needed in the capital, this hotel is located in one of the Saudi capital’s chic districts, inviting you into a captivating narrative of luxury – we knew we had to check it out for ourselves.  

As you stroll through the elegant pedestrian area of VIA Riyadh, the sophisticated surroundings feature designer boutiques such as Ashi Studio, Elie Saab, and Dolce & Gabbana, plus an array of award-winning dining destinations.

The Ambience

Entering the lobby, we are pleasantly surprised – warm and bright, the design is sophisticated yet fun and the vibe a bit more playful than we expected. We are greeted by chicly dressed butlers, standing proudly and ready to elevate your entire experience, from the initial hello to saying goodbye.

A Unique St. Regis Perk

As with all St. Regis locations, after a seamless check-in process, we are introduced to our butler.

Throughout your stay, the 24/7 butler service becomes your passport to indulgence, making you feel like a cherished resident rather than a mere guest. Imagine having your personal concierge, orchestrating experiences tailored to your desires – from discreetly unpacking your bags to curating exclusive city adventures, and offering recommendations on where to dine.

One of the most unique and indulgent experiences offered by the St. Regis, the butler service isn't just about meeting your needs; it's about curating a journey of pleasure and comfort, turning your stay into an immersive and profoundly personal experience.
