Dubai developer Nakheel has signed a management agreement with the Starwood Hotels & Resorts Worldwide to operate a new St Regis hotel in Dubai.
Set to open in 2018, The St Regis Dubai - The Palm will be a part of Palm Tower, Nakheel's 52-storey luxury mixed-use development and the centrepiece of Palm Jumeirah island.
It will offer 289 guest rooms, including 23 suites, occupying the first 18 floors of The Palm Tower, while the upper floors will comprise 504 luxury apartments, Nakheel said in a statement.
The hotel will feature two swimming pools, including the one of the world's highest infinity pools. Located on the 50th floor, some 210 metres above ground, the pool will border all four sides of the building, offering 360 degree views of Palm Jumeirah, the Arabian Gulf and Dubai skyline.

It will offer various dining experiences including a signature restaurant located on the 51st level, a St Regis Beach Club and an all-day restaurant, and a public rooftop viewing deck on the 52nd floor.
Nakheel chairman Ali Rashid Lootah said: "Our partnership with Starwood to open a St Regis on the Palm reinforces what the island is all about: unrivalled, world-class facilities that set new standards for residents and tourists."
Neil George, senior vice president, acquisitions & development, Starwood Hotels & Resorts Middle East and Africa, added: "We are pleased to be entering into this partnership with Nakheel for this iconic development which will further consolidate Starwood's strong growth momentum in Dubai, where we continue to see strong demand for high-end hotel accommodations."
St Regis entered the Dubai market with the opening of The St. Regis Dubai in Al Habtoor City recently.
