“We are delighted to strengthen our relationship with Belgrade Waterfront LLC and to introduce the St. Regis brand and its bespoke hospitality to Serbia,” said Michael Wale, President, Starwood Hotels & Resorts, Europe, Africa and Middle East. “Belgrade is fast emerging as a popular tourist destination in Europe and we are proud to be part of this new, exciting landmark development.”
