[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text el_class=”checkmarks”]After an excellent flight on Etihad Airways in First Class from Paris to Abu Dhabi<\/a>, here we are at our first hotel of our dream trip to the United Arab Emirates<\/a>: The St. Regis Abu Dhabi<\/a>.[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”60715″ img_size=”large” add_caption=”yes” alignment=”center” style=”vc_box_rounded” ][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_custom_heading el_id=”booking_at_the_st_regis_abu_dhabi” text=”Booking at The St Regis Abu Dhabi” google_fonts=””][vc_column_text el_class=”checkmarks”]St. Regis is probably the most luxurious hotel brand of the Marriott Group. About sixty hotels are spread around the world, strategically positioned in the most sought-after areas of major cities, or in paradisiacal places such as the Maldives or French Polynesia.[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”60760″ img_size=”large” add_caption=”yes” alignment=”center” style=”vc_box_rounded” ][vc_column_text el_class=”checkmarks”]These hotels are therefore often classified in the highest price categories of the Marriott Bonvoy<\/a> loyalty program, which has 8 of them:<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text el_class=”checkmarks”]However, the hotel The St. Regis Abu Dhabi<\/a> is reasonably categorized: although it is one of the finest hotels in Abu Dhabi, it falls into category 5. The rate is therefore 30,000 to 40,000 points per night.<\/p>\n

Thanks to the Marriott BonvoyMC American ExpressMD<\/sup> Card<\/a> which offers 50,000 Marriott Bonvoy points as a welcome bonus<\/a><\/strong>, it is possible to treat yourself to a night at this hotel. However, for this reservation, I used a one-night certificate worth 35,000 points offered upon renewal<\/strong> of the Marriott Bonvoy®<\/sup> American Express®<\/sup>* Card<\/a>!<\/p>\n

Thus, the cost of the renewal of the annual membership ($120) was completely justified in this particular case since during the holiday season the night cost 310 CA$ (excluding taxes) in this hotel![\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”60763″ img_size=”large” add_caption=”yes” alignment=”center” style=”vc_box_shadow” ][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_empty_space]
