THE ST REGIS MAURITIUS RESORT
History & Story
Quick history : The architecture, landscaping and interiors of The St. Regis Mauritius Resort draw simultaneously on St. Regis’s traditional design hallmarks and the local heritage and regional aesthetics of Mauritius. Internationally renowned architects, Stauch Vorster and interior designer, Trevor Julius of Dsgn, drew their aesthetic inspiration from the romance of Mauritius’s colonial past and the regional specifications of the resort’s address.
The architects and interior designers sought to capture the distinctive character of the location by recreating the structure and ambience of a Victorian manor house and historical estate. The legacy of colonial romance and refinement, reflective of the island’s Victorian heritage chimes perfectly with the St. Regis vision of the art of living.
The colonial style of the buildings speaks to a sense of place and authenticity. The rooms, vast terraces and colonnades, especially in the Manor House, convey the grace of the era. The design enhances the impression that guests are arriving as visitors of a private residence rather than at a hotel reception. In keeping with the St. Regis values of personalized experiences and discretion, the architecture eschews public areas and standardized administrative spaces.
The resort is configured around the Manor House, where the restaurants, bar, ballrooms and other facilities such as a library and conservatory can be found. Its grounds resemble a rambling estate, where the spa, pool, restaurants, guest suites and a villa are thoughtfully positioned.
The architecture of the manor house and other buildings, such as the boathouse, has been conceived as altered originals, deliberately conjuring the passage of time. The impression of individual history is sustained through every aspect of the detailing. The furnishings have all been carefully collected – no two pieces are the same. It is as if the owner of the manor house personally sourced artefacts from countries associated with Mauritius’s compelling colonial past, taking in French, Eastern, British and Indian influences and curating an eclectic stylistic exploration of the island’s cultural heritage.
History & Heritage : A born inventor and change maker, John Jacob Astor IV founded The St. Regis New York as a place to pursue his passions in the company of the city’s luminaries. More than a century later, the St. Regis brand is renowned for its tradition of innovation and commitment to impeccable service at more than 40 hotels and resorts around the world.
