St. Regis

The prestigious address of Fifth Avenue, in midtown Manhattan.

Imbued with classic French style, the 229 rooms and suites are adorned with silk wall coverings, custom antique-inspired furnishings and classical artwork and high ceilings give the already-spacious rooms a palatial feel.  The marble bathrooms are fitted with gold fixtures and mirrors, big bathtubs and his-and-hers twin sinks. The suites channel the style of a plush New York townhouse: a sliding French door conjoins the bedroom with a living room overlooking Fifth Avenue from full-length windows and a powder room in addition to the bathroom.

The chandelier-laden golden and cream Astor Court sets a lavish backdrop to meals in St. Regis, where breakfast, lunch and dinner are served. Their Sunday brunch menu has all of the essentials and we can’t think of a more fitting setting for a spot of afternoon tea. Polished burgundy leather armchairs, wood panelling and black and white photos give the King Cole Bar an air of an opulent society club – sip their tried-and-perfected Bloody Marys, here christened Red Snappers, or choose from their menu of bites and bar classics. The Remede Spa specialises in customized facial and body treatments matched to your individual needs. There’s a fully-equipped fitness centre for your use, as well as a steam room.

Run with the theme of high society and experience old-school New York glamour with a visit to the opera in the Met and some Great Gatsby-inspired cocktails in the Empire, a speakeasy-style spot on the Empire State Building’s ground floor.
