Simply Abu Dhabi XXVI

1 1 2 S I M P LY A B U DH A B I Most exclusive, however, is the complimentary access to the St. Regis Bentley Moonbeam (Silver) Flying Spur during the day and the Bentley Beluga (Black) Mulsanne during the evening, within a ten-block radius of the hotel. The Mulsanne, designed and engineered at Crewe from the ground-up, is the pinnacle Bentley model. It underlines Bentley’s sporting heritage and passion for power and speed, and its design is a unique fusion of sportiness, coach-built elegance and solidity, echoing the Bentley S-Type of the 1950s. Each vehicle within the St. Regis New York fleet has been customised exclusively for the hotel, with St. Regis crests on the headrests and personalised tread plates. Residents and customers are also privy to exclusive experiences such as driving programmes, special events and brand initiatives around the world. “Visitors are greeted by a room which bears all the hallmarks of Bentley design values – many of the fittings reflect jewellery features in our cars, and the use of leather and colours convey the special cocooning that drivers and passengers feel when they experience the interior of a Bentley,” says senior Bentley designer Daniele Ceccomori. In stark contrast, the glistening Tiffany suite on the 14th floor is both whimsical and luxurious, reflecting Tiffany & Co’s modern aesthetic and contemporary vision within the deeply elegant walls of the St. Regis. A serene range of subtle neutral shades adorn the suite, including whites, beiges, charcoal grey and silver, with the signature Tiffany blue as an accent colour throughout. Jewel-inspired references capture the imagination, such as a Tiffany- blue glass beaded and silver leafed handmade wall covering in the foyer, while the entry console design is a subtle reference to one of Tiffany’s most iconic pieces: the engagement ring. The furnishings mix modern, deco and classic pieces, including precious Macguire jewel-shaped armchairs, while the bar cart boasts a wide array of Tiffany crystal barware and accessories. The bedroom is vibrant and playful, featuring a contemporary floral patterned loveseat. Brides getting ready for their big moment and guests planning to spend a night on the town will appreciate the grand mirrored vanity table in the bedroom.
