The St. Regis Shenzhen Bao'an

Character and identity

Opened in February 2025 on the Qianhai Bay side of Bao'an District, this 51-storey tower channels House of Astor heritage through a distinctly Shenzhen lens, courtesy of Hong Kong architect André Fu. His interiors layer marquetry woodwork, timber screens, dark oak parquet and Carrara marble across a sky-high lobby, 289 rooms and suites, and a rooftop terrace, with floor-to-ceiling glazing tracking the bay throughout. An intimate four-room spa handles Ayurvedic treatments and facials, while a 25-metre indoor lap pool sits among cabanas and banana leaves with wrap-around city views. Signature St. Regis butler service, afternoon tea and champagne sabrage anchor the register.

Who's it for

Bottom line

The defining draw is the Fu interior architecture paired with St. Regis butler ritual, delivered in a brand-new tower with genuine bay panoramas from every room. Book if you value design and ceremony over nightlife; rooms start at a generous 538 square feet, so the entry category is already spacious, and a bay-facing higher floor is the upgrade worth chasing.
