A pioneer of timeless luxury, reinvented for modern travellers, Regent Hotels & Resorts, part of IHG Hotels & Resorts’ Luxury & Lifestyle portfolio, is redefining the standards of global luxury hospitality at its landmark properties across the globe. Today, Regent Hotels represents a portfolio of 11 hand-selected hotels and resorts found in cosmopolitan capitals and awe-inspiring destinations, from Hong Kong and Shanghai to Cannes and Santa Monica.
Legends Reborn
Founded in 1970, Regent Hotels has been a pioneer in offering luxury hospitality across Asia—a legacy of elegance and innovation that has extended to some of the world’s most beautiful destinations, since becoming part of the IHG family in 2018. From the momentous return to Europe with the grand opening of the iconic Carlton Cannes, a Regent Hotel in Spring 2023, and Regent Hong Kong’s triumphant re-entry to Victoria Harbour in June 2023 to the launch of Regent Shanghai on the Bund and Regent Bali Canggu in early 2025.
2024 saw Regent Hotels return to the Americas, with the opening of Regent Santa Monica Beach in October 2024, reaffirming the brand’s commitment to re-establishing its global presence with flagship hotels in the world’s most celebrated destinations.
Coastal Luxury Reimagined in Santa Monica
The launch of Regent Santa Monica Beach in October 2024 marked a defining moment for the brand, bringing Regent to North America. Situated on one of the world’s most loved coastlines, the property blends the effortless allure of California’s beach culture with Regent’s signature style of serene sophistication. Guests can expect breathtaking oceanfront views, world-class dining, and contemporary design infused with a sense of timeless glamour.
Regent Santa Monica marks the first of the brand’s reimagined hotels to debut in the Americas, and the opening comes at a significant time for the local community. With the upcoming 250th anniversary of America and 100th anniversary of Route 66 in 2026, Regent Santa Monica Beach showcases the ultimate Californian adventure for those wishing to journey across the pond for this momentous year ahead.
Introducing Regent Spa – Launching October 2025
Opened in January 2025 on the shores of Bali’s breathtaking coastline, Regent Bali Canggu has made its mark as a coastal haven where Bali’s spirit unravels. In October 2025, the brand will debut their first new Regent Spa concept at Regent Bali Canggu, inviting guests on a transformative path where the mind resets and the senses are elevated. Each step is guided by a clear intent to heal, weaving vibrating crystal energy, soothing aromas, and restoring light frequency to uplift wellbeing to new personal heights. The journey will extend to indulgent wet areas, including a rejuvenating sauna, a revitalising vitality pool, and an invigorating ice bath, each thoughtfully crafted to stimulate circulation, soothe tension, and awaken the senses.
The Next Chapter
As the brand continues its global momentum, Regent has an ambitious pipeline of openings in key destinations, including Jeddah and Kuala Lumpur both opening in 2026, followed by hand-picked destinations such as Kyoto, Shenzhen, Chengdu and beyond. Each new property will embody Regent’s philosophy of balancing heritage elegance with forward-looking design and cultural relevance, promising exceptional places to stay across the world.
