Regent Santa Monica Beach, a part of IHG Hotels & Resorts' collection of luxury and lifestyle properties, has marked the return of the Regent brand to Los Angeles, US.
It marks the first flagship property in the Americas and joins Regent Hong Kong and Carlton Cannes, a Regent Hotel.
The design of the latest property is led by Chantell Walsh of Strategic Hotels & Resorts, in collaboration with design firms, including AvroKO's San Francisco studio and Wimberly Interiors, which designed the resort's guestrooms and suites.
Regent Santa Monica Beach features a starting size of 720ft² for base rooms, with suites, public spaces, restaurants, and a pool deck with views of the Pacific Ocean.
With 167 guestrooms and suites, the resort offers spa-like bathrooms with soaking tubs, walk-in rain showers, and more.
The Santa Monica Presidential Suite spans 3,200ft² and includes separate living, dining, and game rooms, as well as ocean views.
The Oceanfront Atrium two-storey two-bedroom suite covers 2,180ft² across two floors, featuring king beds, separate living and dining areas, and two and a half bathrooms.
Regent Santa Monica Beach general manager Younes Atallah said: “It is an honour to reintroduce this legacy brand to Southern California and ignite a new era of unforgettable memories for our guests in Santa Monica. Our resort captures the unique allure of Santa Monica in a serene setting where you can disconnect from the outside world and experience Regent's legendary hospitality on your terms.”
The new property also has Jacaranda Ballroom which offers 6,100ft² of interior space and an additional 3,000ft² foyer.
Meanwhile, The Atelier serves as a preparation space for weddings and events.
The hotel further offers guests the option to tailor their stay with the help of a Regent Experience Manager, a dedicated contact who assists with all aspects of a guest's stay.
This personalised service is a signature feature of the Regent brand.
The resort is also home to four dining venues, including Orla, and Orla Bar in the hotel lobby, the outdoor Azure Bar, and Sweet July Café.
Adjacent to the café, The Regent Shop offers a selection of lifestyle products and luxury goods.
The property provides 10,000ft² Guerlain Wellness spa including 12 treatment rooms and gender-specific lounges with a plunge pool, sauna, and steam room.
Additional amenities include the Azure Pool and fitness centre.
In addition, CYBEX has partnered with the resort as the official baby and child gear partner.
Regent Hotels & Resorts, which joined IHG Hotels & Resorts in 2018, is set to debut Regent Jeddah in 2024 and Regent Kyoto in 2025.
