John Jacob Astor founded The St Regis more than a century ago, and the New York hotel is the brand’s flagship. Located in the most exclusive part of Manhattan, the hotel is like stepping into a bygone era. Over the years, many notable figures considered The St Regis home: artist Salvador Dalí and his wife, Gala, lived there each fall and winter; as did William Paley and his wife; Marlene Dietrich; and Nikola Tesla. John Lennon even recorded a song at the hotel. And while its history certainly allures, the hotel still remains a modernly updated and sophisticated place to convene, whether you’re having afternoon tea at Astor Court, or a drink at the iconic King Cole Bar. Guests also have access to The St Regis Fitness Club, a well-equipped club that makes it easy to stay-in-shape during your stay. The concierge can set up unique experiences throughout New York, whether you seek out a private tour of iconic sites or a hard-to-get reservation.
Top Suite: Presidential Suite
Opulent guest rooms await, including the three-bedroom Presidential Suite overlooking Fifth Avenue. The suite is a fusion of contemporary and classic design and has a wood-paneled library, four full bathrooms, separate living room, full kitchen and a Jacuzzi-style tub in the large bathroom. It wouldn’t be a St Regis experience without 24-hour butler service, available to all guests.
