When it opens in January 2010, the 169-room new-build St. Regis luxury resort will be the first internationally branded luxury hotel to open in Lhasa in more than a decade. An exotic and highly appealing destination for travelers, Tibet is often referred to as the "Roof of the World" due to its impressive elevations of 16,000 feet. The region's stunning mountainous terrain includes Mt. Everest, the world's most famous mountain peak, located on the Tibet and Nepal border.
St. Regis Resort, Lhasa will be located on the eastern side of the city of Lhasa, in the famous Barkhor area, where the majority of Tibetans reside. Lhasa, the capital city of Tibet, is the political, economic, cultural, and transportation center of the province. The breathtaking Potala Palace, which can be viewed from the hotel's guest rooms and lobby, is just ten minutes away by car. Other tourist, retail and entertainment districts are also located in close proximity to the hotel.
