An iconic white marble staircase leads to the large pillarless ballroom, where glamorous galas and Regent weddings are curated for everlasting memories, while 11 versatile function rooms, including the latest The Terrace—an exceptional new waterfront venue with indoor and outdoor spaces—provide distinctive settings for Regent weddings, glamorous galas and bespoke events.
