St. Regis Hotel, New York City
A legendary Beaux-Art landmark at Manhattan's best address
Message from St. Regis Hotel, New York City
Overlooking the world-famous Fifth Avenue, and ideally located in the heart of midtown Manhattan, this original 1904 Beaux Art classic landmark, The St. Regis Hotel, New York is at the foremost address. As the first St. Regis, the legendary Astor family premiered a timeless legacy, today featuring the signature twenty-four hour St. Regis Butler Service, an on-site florist, the historic King Cole Bar and a much-anticipated Adour, the new signature restaurant by Chef Alain Ducasse, to open in 2008.

The SceneWalking through the marble-floored lobby of this 1904 Beaux-Arts-style building is a trip back to the Gilded Age. A three-year, $100-million renovation restored the property to a lustrous state and concealed new technology beneath original fixtures. Rich, red-velvet-covered antique armchairs look as comfortable today as they did a hundred years ago when the hotel was the headquarters for an elite "400" selected by Mrs. Astor herself.
The Details
The spacious, high-ceilinged rooms all contain dual-line telephones and electronically controlled temperature and lighting. The black-and-white marble bathrooms feature brass fixtures. The 24-hour butler service on each floor offers complimentary unpacking and suit- or dress-pressing upon arrival. The legendary King Cole Bar and Lounge is home to Maxfield Parrish's famed 1895 mural of Old King Cole; here in 1934 the bartender mixed a "Red Snapper," which later became the Bloody Mary. Breakfast, lunch, dinner and an elegant tea are offered in the lovely Astor Court.
Key Points
- Signature butler service
- Historic King Cole Bar
- Remede Spa

I took my husband here for one night to celebrate his 50th birthday. From the moment we checked in, we were aware that the St. Regis was in a class of its own. The woman at the check-in desk was very nice and helpful, knew it was my husband's birthday, and told us we had been upgraded from a regular room (which I'd gotten on a discount for booking quite early) to a one bedroom suite! She then took us up the elevator to our floor and handed us off to our butler. He showed us our suite, got us tea and biscotti, and asked if we would allow him to buy us a bottle of champagne to celebrate.
The rooms were impeccable, and gorgeous. Our suite had a bedroom, two full baths, a kitcheonette, and a sitting room with a workstation area. The furnishings were all period and yet looked new, from the decorations on the wall to the crystal chandeliers. The sitting area was large enough to comfortably accomodate 5 of us. Our wake-up call was prompt, as was our breakfast order (and delicious too). All our needs were anticipated.
Our stay was everything we could have hoped for, and more. I cannot recommend a hotel more highly.
Pros: Service, Luxury, Location
Cons: No views, Expensive (but worth every penny)

This is one of the grandest hotels in the city and it a real treat. I love the rooms, the service, and don't miss the King Cole Bar for a delightful drink before heading out for the night.
