WATG and Wimberly Interiors conceived the St. Regis Astana around the form of an indigenous Kazakh yurt, the entrance courtyard echoes the circular dwelling, and filled its 120 rooms and suites with more than 400 commissioned artworks by Kazakh and international artists. Opened in June 2017 ahead of Expo 2017 in Astana, the hotel won Best Hotel in Asia at the International Hotel & Property Awards in 2018 and holds a Michelin Key.

About The St. Regis Astana
- The building's architectural form and entrance courtyard are explicitly modelled on the yurt, the circular felt dwelling central to Kazakh nomadic identity; the antique-bronze cladding combined with steel and glass reinterprets the yurt's organic geometry at tower scale.
- The St. Regis Bar features a hallmark floor-to-ceiling mural depicting the Samruk, a golden phoenix-like bird from Kazakh mythology, the kind of property-specific narrative artwork rare even within the St. Regis portfolio.
- The 510-square-metre Presidential Suite, the hotel's largest, includes a wine vault and a 139-square-metre terrace with a Jacuzzi, with all bespoke furniture crafted by local Kazakh artisans.
- The hotel was developed on a site that previously hosted a celebrated restaurant owned by one of the investor family's relatives, a venue that had hosted major Kazakh government economic summits in the 1990s, giving the project direct continuity with the country's post-Soviet institution-building era.
- The 1,700-square-metre Iridium Spa includes a hammam, sauna, steam room and indoor pool, one of the largest branded spa footprints relative to room count (120 keys) in the St. Regis portfolio.
