The St. Regis Hotels & Resorts brand is headed to Costa Rica. The development of this project, which will span 20 hectares on the Gulf of Papagayo in the Guanacaste region, is expected to begin in July of this year, with a planned opening in early 2027.
The new-build St. Regis Papagayo is expected to offer 120 hotel rooms and 143 residential units. Plans also call for six culinary venues, including Casa Club for casual gourmet dining; The Cliff, influenced by Japanese and Costa Rican dishes; a Beach Club & Grill; and the signature St. Regis Bar & Speakeasy. Other planned amenities include the St. Regis Library, multiple swimming pools, a spa and an exclusive beach club. There will also be about 10,000 square feet of indoor and outdoor meeting and banquet space.
Located between Panama Bay and Culebra Bay, just 25 minutes from Liberia International Airport, the St. Regis Papagayo will offer over 600 yards of beachfront.
Mexican architecture firm Sordo Madaleno will bring the vision to life. The company is currently designing several luxury resort projects with Marriott, including the St. Regis Costa Mujeres and a dual-brand luxury development in Costa Mujeres. Gensler Mexico City has been selected as the principal interior design firm. Additionally, Maat Handasa will lead the landscape architectural project, TalentChef will act as a food and beverage consultant, and Ana Ramirez of Ancestral Handmade Hotels will contribute as a wellness consultant.
