What happened
Marriott has announced plans for the St. Regis Queenstown, set to open in late 2027. The 145-key property will be located in central Queenstown, New Zealand, offering views of The Remarkables mountain range and Lake Wakatipu. This marks the first St. Regis branded property in the Australia and New Zealand region. The hotel will feature signature amenities including the St. Regis Bar, The Drawing Room, an all-day dining venue, a full-service spa, a 24/7 gym, and butler service.
