PB hotel design editorial

Saadiyat Island was conceived as Abu Dhabi's cultural district — the address chosen for the Louvre Abu Dhabi and the Guggenheim Abu Dhabi — and it is into this charged, aspirational landscape that the St. Regis Saadiyat Island Resort was delivered in 2011, spread across a long stretch of natural beach with the Abu Dhabi skyline visible in the distance. The architecture, executed in a warm Mediterranean-Andalusian register, presents cream stucco facades, terracotta-tiled rooflines, and corner belvedere towers that give the 378-room property a resort grammar closer to the Algarve than the Gulf — a deliberate softening that distances it from the gleaming verticality of the city across the water. Internally, the interiors balance two distinct moods. Guest rooms deploy teak-panelled walls with louvred screens, ceiling fans set within coffered surrounds, botanical-print headboards in sage and gold, and dark mahogany bench seating — the overall atmosphere closer to a refined tropical resort than an urban palace. The all-day dining restaurant pivots sharply toward contemporary confidence: exposed dark-timber ceiling beams, limestone floors, white banquette booths with leather-upholstered chairs in burnt orange, and a wall of full-height glazing that frames the Gulf like a painting. At dusk, the long reflecting pool running through the palm-planted gardens mirrors the lit pergola pavilion beyond it, the whole composition settling into the kind of easy, unhurried grandeur that Saadiyat's planners always intended this shoreline to carry.

"This hotel holds a very special place in our hearts. We come back every year, and each visit feels like coming home. ❤️ What we love most is not only the beautiful hotel and relaxing atmosphere, but also the warmth and hospitality we experience every time we stay. The staff are always so welcoming, kind, and attentive, which makes every visit even more meaningful. It is heartwarming to look at the smiling faces of familiar staff in the hotel and seeing their recognition when they saw us was amazing. Danny, Jennifer, Edmar and Kristine of the recreation department were all giddy to see us again. Marco, patricia, Akhil, Mubashir, Vinod and Fernando made sure our dining experience were superb. Over the years, we’ve created so many wonderful memories here, and it has become a place we genuinely look forward to returning to every year. No matter how many places we visit, this hotel will always be one of our favorites. Thank you for always making us feel so welcome and cared for. We truly love this place and can’t wait to come back again next year! ❤️"

"I would like to express my sincere appreciation to Shova at Olea Restaurant. She is truly exceptional. From the moment we arrived, she welcomed us with a warm smile, genuine kindness, and outstanding professionalism. Her elegant appearance, beautiful personality, and positive energy made our dining experience even more enjoyable. She treated every guest with great respect and care, always making sure we had everything we needed. Shova is a wonderful example of excellent hospitality, and she deserves to be recognized for her outstanding service. Thank you for making our visit so special. We will definitely be coming back because of people like you!"

"We spent 6 wonderful nights at this lovely hotel. The service from all staff was exceptional and we felt very welcome. We particularly enjoyed watching the England v Norway game with our children in the Manhattan Lounge. Our boys are not old enough to go in the actual bar area so the thoughtful staff set up a little area near the doorway with chairs and a table so that we could watch it on the big screen from the doorway. The food (breakfast and dinner) was amazing and the pool and beach area was lovely. I would definitely recommend this hotel and I cannot wait to come back!!"
