The Winston Churchill suite at St Regis Dubai Hotel costs Dhs75,000 a night. That’s Dhs3,125 a hour (if you check in and check out at noon), or Dhs52 a minute. Could this be the best suite in Dubai?
High cost doesn’t always translate into high quality. Sometimes a premium location in Dubai can see prices skyrocket, but at the St Regis Dubai Hotel Winston Churchill suite this isn’t the case.
Yes, the location in Al Habtoor City makes it a hot spot but it’s what the suite offers that gives it it’s lofty price tag.
The spacious two-storey suite was formally debuted in April in the presence of Randolph Churchill, the great grandson of the inspirational statesman, writer, orator and Prime Minister who led Britain to victory during WWII and Khalaf Ahmad Al Habtoor, Chairman of Al Habtoor Group.

A suite-cum-museum dedicated to Churchill, it houses a collection of 15 paintings and art pieces from the Churchill archives that include portraits and photographs of the legendary statesman, paintings he mastered himself, and a well maintained Cuban cigar that once belonged to him from the private collection of Chairman Khalaf Al Habtoor.
