    The world’s highest St. Regis, the Shenzhen hotel aims to introduce a new level of luxury and a new dimension of sophisticated and chic amenities that are sure to appeal to international and local guests. It is the sixth St. Regis in China.

    Towering from the 73rd to the 100th floor of Kingkey 100, The St. Regis Shenzhen seamlessly blends Old World elegance with modern convenience and luxury. The hotel features 257 guest rooms and 40 suites, sumptuously appointed with thoroughly modern amenities and spectacular views, providing guests with a unique luxurious sanctuary amidst the hectic urban setting.
