SHANGHAI, Feb. 28, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — St. Regis Hotels & Resorts today announced the highly anticipated debut of The St. Regis Shenzhen Bao’an in one of China’s most dynamic cities. Soaring 51 stories above the city with panoramic views of Qianhai Bay, the hotel sets to exemplify the brand’s timeless legacy through bespoke experiences, sophisticated design, and unparalleled service.

“The debut of The St. Regis Shenzhen Bao’an marks a significant milestone as we expand our presence in this vibrant city, bringing a new level of elegance and bespoke service to the heart of one of China’s most exciting and dynamic districts,” said George Fleck, Senior Vice President and Global Brand Leader of St. Regis Hotels & Resorts. “This opening highlights our strategic focus on growth in rapidly evolving destinations, where we seamlessly blend St. Regis’ storied heritage with modern innovation, capturing the distinctive spirit of each locale to offer unparalleled experiences for the world’s most discerning travelers.”

Set on the western side of Shenzhen, Bao’an District is a dynamic and rapidly developing area known for its strategic location and excellent connectivity. The St. Regis Shenzhen Bao’an enjoys a prime location just 15 kilometers from Shenzhen Bao’an International Airport, offering effortless access for international and domestic travelers. The hotel is also conveniently close to key landmarks such as the Bao’an Government Building, the Public Cultural and Art Center, OH Bay, and the Bao’an Library, making it an ideal choice for business and leisure guests alike. With seamless connections to major transportation hubs and cultural attractions, guests can easily explore the city while enjoying the hotel’s sophisticated luxury and unparalleled convenience.

Designed by internationally acclaimed interior architect André Fu, The St. Regis Shenzhen Bao’an draws inspiration from the unique synergy between New York, the birthplace of the first St. Regis, and Shenzhen, a global hub for innovation. This concept, “A Tale of Two Cities”, harmonizes New York’s timeless glamour with Shenzhen’s dynamic energy. Fu’s signature relaxed luxury ethos reflects the brand’s 120-year history of timeless elegance and thoughtful design, creating a space that is both contemporary and deeply rooted in its locale.

Each of the 289 guestrooms and suites showcases a refined urban mansion aesthetic. Floor-to-ceiling windows frame sweeping views of the city or Qianhai Bay, while Oriental-inspired timber screens, alabaster lighting, and marquetry headboards elevate the interiors with artistic precision. A palette of dark oak parquet, Carrara marble, and muted tones of sage green and deep terra cotta creates a warm yet sophisticated ambiance, offering a sanctuary of modern elegance. Guests will also enjoy the St. Regis Butler Service, a personalized signature offering of the brand that ensures personalized and anticipatory service at every turn.

The hotel’s four distinctive dining venues harmoniously blend St. Regis sophistication with Shenzhen’s globalized culinary scene. Helmed by the acclaimed Chinese Executive Chef and culinary talent Watson Chen, Yan Ting serves classic Cantonese dishes that are reimagined with modern artistry, celebrating the finest local ingredients. The St. Regis Bar invites guests to indulge in an inspired list of cocktails, including the Bay Mary – a distinctive blend of lychee and osmanthus that also serves as the hotel’s unique twist on the iconic St. Regis Bloody Mary. The Drawing Room offers the brand’s signature Afternoon Tea ritual, with premium teas and coffees and an elegant selection of Chinese and Western delicacies. Meanwhile, The St. Regis Astor Terrace Bar provides a serene rooftop setting serving vintage wines and signature cocktails; as the sun sets, guests can partake in cocktails celebrating the transition from day to night.

For guests looking to unwind, The St. Regis Spa offers a curated selection of treatments that blend modern wellness innovations with traditional techniques. Guests can rejuvenate with tailored treatments performed by expert therapists in an environment that exudes tranquility and refinement. The spa is complemented by a state-of-the-art Fitness Center featuring a 25-meter infinity pool with sweeping bay views, offering a serene retreat from the city’s vibrant pace.

The Group navigated through a softening market in FY2024: Amidst a dynamic global luxury landscape in 2024, Lanvin Group demonstrated strategic agility by proactively aligning its operations with evolving market conditions. While preliminary FY2024 revenues reflected broader industry trends, the Group’s decisive actions — including optimizing its retail network and enhancing operational efficiency — underscored its commitment to long-term prospects.

St. John and Caruso show resilience while other brands adapted to market shifts: The Group’s diversified brand portfolio demonstrated varying degrees of resilience in 2024. St. John and Caruso showed stability, with 12% and 7% decrease respectively, underscoring the strength of their loyal customer base and distinct market positioning while Wolford faced temporary disruptions in logistics and was affected by a macroeconomic downturn, contributing to a 31% decline in revenue. Lanvin and Sergio Rossi, despite facing industry-wide headwinds, embraced bold creative renewal, setting the stage to redefine their artistic visions and chart a course toward future growth.

Stability in Japan and North America, and EMEA and Greater China experienced softer demand: In 2024, the EMEA region experienced a decline in wholesale purchases, reflecting a cautious distributor sentiment, particularly affecting Lanvin and Sergio Rossi. In Greater China, sales continued to underperform compared to the previous year, during which the Group implemented targeted strategies to reignite growth in this key market. Japan and North American markets demonstrated greater resilience in the face of these challenges, underscoring the strength of Lanvin Group’s brand equity in these regions.

2025 Outlook

In 2025, despite a challenging macroeconomic environment, the Group remains committed to its long-term vision, leveraging its unique position in the luxury fashion industry to drive innovation and growth. The Group is enhancing its management capabilities by developing a dynamic leadership team under the new Executive President, Andy Lew, and establishing a second headquarters in Europe to strengthen local presence while optimizing decision-making efficiency.

Lanvin Group has also proactively consolidated its store network, focusing on core business units and optimizing its retail footprint. The appointment of new Artistic Director and Creative Director at Lanvin and Sergio Rossi, respectively, is expected to boost sales, with Peter Copping’s debut show in January 2025 receiving widespread acclaim. Through a strengthened leadership team, strategic retail optimization, and bold creative visions, Lanvin Group is poised to drive innovation and growth, positioning itself for long-term success in the luxury fashion industry.
