Marriott International has announced a signed agreement with PHC Queenstown Limited to debut St. Regis Hotels & Resorts in Queenstown, New Zealand. The property is expected to open in late 2027.
The hotel is set to be located on a prominent corner site in central Queenstown, with views to The Remarkables mountain range and Lake Wakatipu. Expected to feature 145 rooms, this new-build luxury hotel is set to be Marriott’s inaugural foothold in Queenstown in New Zealand. “Securing a luxury presence in Queenstown has been a strategic priority for Marriott, and we’re thrilled to soon establish the iconic St. Regis brand in such an exceptional destination … Queenstown attracts more than two million visitors annually, making it ideal for a world-class luxury hotel,” said Richard Crawford, vice president – Hotel Development, Australia, New Zealand and Pacific, Marriott International.
Alongside the planned 145 luxurious guestrooms and suites, The St. Regis Queenstown is expected to feature the hallmarks of the brand, including sophisticated bar and dining offerings such as The Drawing Room, The St. Regis Bar, an all-day dining venue and an event space. St. Regis’ butler service will offer guests anticipatory, personalized service. The Butler Service experience includes packing and unpacking services, garment pressing, and personalized in-room beverage and wake-up services.
The St. Regis Spa is slated to offer a hydrothermal facilities zone and a relaxation and wellness lounge, complemented by the hotel’s indoor heated pool and fitness center.
PHC’s Managing Director Prakash Pandey said, “We are incredibly excited about this development, which will bring to New Zealand—and specifically Queenstown—a new level of luxury accommodation and services. We believe this is a strategic addition to our portfolio of 30 hotels in operation and under development across New Zealand, as we continue to invest in the luxury and upscale markets … This is our third property with Marriott International and is part of an ongoing, strategic and growing relationship. The St. Regis Queenstown will set a new benchmark in the hospitality sector within New Zealand, and we are delighted to be able to showcase the very best of New Zealand to both domestic and international guests.”
The St. Regis Queenstown will join Marriott’s growing pipeline of St. Regis Hotels in the Australia, New Zealand and Pacific (ANZP) region, and marks the company’s third signing for the brand in the region.
