We were warmly to an exclusive and an evocative Italian Lifestyle Journey in a unique property and an outstanding setting of The St. Regis Abu Dhabi last month. Starwood Hotels & Resorts Italy, under the auspices of the Embassy of Italy in the United Arab Emirates, hosted this glamourous event to present its Italian hotels and the Italian lifestyle, an authentic immersion into style and cuisine, in the luxurious atmosphere of The St. Regis Abu Dhabi. They brought their properties in Rome, Venice, Florence, Milan, Costa Smeralda and Trieste to Abu Dhabi, through this exclusive event.
