The hotel will feature 336 rooms and offer 50 butlers available at all times to handle guest affairs, a service which Tareq Derbas, St Regis general manager, said is unique to the region.
There are currently six Hakkasan restaurants globally, with another restaurant due to launch in New York in Spring, according to Howard.
The brand, which started in Lonodon in 2001, first entered the Middle East with the opening of an Abu Dhabi outlet in the Emirates Palace in June 2010.
Hakkasan Abu Dhabi has since attracted celebrities including Uma Thurman, Morgan Freeman, and Clive Owen. (Click here to see photos of Hakkasan Abu Dhabi)
