About The St. Regis Shenzhen
- KK100, at 442 metres, holds the record as the tallest building ever designed by a British architect, Sir Terry Farrell, making the hotel's address an architectural superlative in its own right.
- The hotel lobby sits on the 96th floor, reachable by four Mitsubishi elevators capable of 9 m/s (approximately 1,800 ft per minute), one of the fastest elevator systems in any hotel lobby in the world.
- At opening in 2011 it was confirmed as the world's tallest St. Regis hotel, a claim announced by Starwood Hotels at the time; the property still ranks among the highest-altitude hotel lobbies in the brand's global portfolio.
- The Decanter wine bar on the 100th floor offered Shenzhen's largest wine list at opening, alongside Malt and Library, a whisky-and-cigar bar, both positioned at the building's apex above the city.
History
Opened in 2011 as the world's tallest St. Regis hotel, occupying floors 75-100 of the landmark Kingkey 100 skyscraper in Shenzhen's Luohu District. The property established itself as a premier luxury destination in the Special Economic Zone, blending modern opulence with panoramic city views. No major renovations noted in recent sources.
The setting
The St. Regis Shenzhen ascends to floors 75 through 100 of KK100 — the 442-metre Kingkey tower on Shennan East Road designed by British architect Terry Farrell — in Luohu's Caiwuwei financial district, the original heart of Shenzhen's Special Economic Zone and the neighbourhood where China's first stock exchange was born. The sky lobby on the 96th floor delivers a dramatically elevated check-in with panoramas sweeping to the mountains of Hong Kong. The neighbouring Shun Hing Square landmark is a five-minute walk, KK Mall below offers curated luxury retail, and Lizhi Park lies to the east, one kilometre north of the China–Hong Kong boundary — placing guests at Shenzhen's historic origin point.
