St. Regis Hotels & Resorts has announced the opening of The St. Regis Bermuda Resort. The new property blends the timelessness of a bygone era with avant-garde Bermudian design and cultural influences. Situated in the historic Town of St. George’s, an UNESCO World Heritage site, and nestled among the soft sands and turquoise water of St. Catherine’s Beach, the resort is the first Marriott International luxury brand property to debut on the island.
“Bermuda has long served as an exclusive destination for the global luminaries, making it the ideal location to debut a glamorous new St. Regis resort. Much like the island, St. Regis is steeped in rich history, offering a storied past and exciting future,” said George Fleck, Vice President and Global Brand Leader for St. Regis Hotels & Resorts, in the press release. “The St. Regis brand’s founding family, the Astors, spent time on this beautiful island more than a century ago. Now, the House of Astor’s celebrated traditions and rituals will bring this visionary spirit, avant-garde style and impeccable service back to Bermuda where our address is your muse.”

Pricing
As you would expect, this is a pricy resort. We saw some lower prices initially, but currently standard rates are over $800 per night. If you are a Marriott Bonvoy member and have a decent stash of points, you could get good value considering the cash price. The St. Regis Bermuda Resort in a Marriott Category 8 property. That means that it costs 70,000 points off-peak, 85,000 standard and peak price is 100,000 per night. But if you have the points, you might want to look at the Bora Bora and Maldives properties instead, which are priced the same as far as award nights go.
The St. Regis Bermuda Resort is already available for bookings now. You can check out more information and book on the Marriott website.
