The St. Regis New York hotel, New York, USA: review

The St. Regis New York is a luxury New York hotel offering sophisticated décor, antique furnishings, New York inspired art work, bespoke service, chic bedrooms and the renowned King Cole Bar & Salon, near Central Park and Fifth Avenue.


Founded more than a century ago by John Jacob Astor IV, The St. Regis New York recreates the glamour of a bygone era at Manhattan’s finest address. With recently redesigned guestrooms, public spaces and the King Cole Bar & Salon, the hotel’s rich history is now infused with a modern sensibility. All the traditions are still there: jazz performances, signature Bloody Mary cocktails, afternoon teas and a revered Butler Service.

Location
In the heart of midtown Manhattan within walking distance of Central Park, Fifth Avenue shopping, world-class restaurants and award-winning theatre. Access to the hotel’s day/night Bentley Fleet offers guests stylish transportation to gala events, business meetings and appointments during their stay.

Style/character
The aesthetic plays to the strengths of Manhattan: New York-inspired art work, large-scale windows with sweeping views of 5th Avenue and Central Park, and an imperious marble lobby. Waterford Crystal chandeliers, antique furnishings and a handsome library all add to the Gilded Age sophistication. There are three designer suites - Bentley, Dior and Tiffany - unique to the property. If you’re not into comfortable luxe, stay downtown.

Service/facilities
Service is bespoke and anticipatory without being intrusive. You get butlers, an in-house salon, a fully equipped newly renovated Athletic Club, and access to all New York has to offer through highly trained concierges. Even non-guest locals call up to ask where to order flowers or hire a personal shopper.

Rooms
Over-the-top – and yet without pomposity. Expect chic, black-lacquer painted doors, marble-tiled entryways, textured fabric walls in five palettes and custom furniture with luxe leather detailing. All come with state of the art technology, which somehow goes well with traditional crown moldings and beveled mirrors.

Food & drink
Uptown sophistication meets downtown chic at the treasured King Cole Bar & Salon, Manhattan’s most storied meeting place. The menu is tailored for New York’s social elite and a new generation of luxury travellers. Don’t miss the Bloody Mary, invented here by Fernand Petiot in 1934.

Value for money
Double rooms from £513 in low season; rising to £734 in high. Breakfast included for select rooms. Free Wi-Fi.

Access for guests with disabilities?
Guests with disabilities have fully accessible rooms and bathrooms, visual fire alarms, door bell and telephone notification devices, portable tub seats, accessible routes for transportation through the hotel and assistive listening devices for on-site events and meetings.

Family-friendly?
Tailored family excursions include an art tour of the finest museums in the world, just steps away, to a guided adventure through Central Park. Families receive special welcome amenities and turndown rituals, including fresh-baked treats, child-sized robes, slippers and a step stool for the little ones.
