The St. Regis Hotel, New York

The St. Regis Hotel, New York recalls the glory days of American industrial barons. They are great families who amassed huge fortunes, rising to the top of the New World’s social registry.

And one of them is the famous and celebrated Astor family. John Jacob Astor IV’s grandfather had become the richest man in America from trading in fur and real estate. The Astor family built many of New York’s most enduring landmarks, including the grand New York Public Library, and this year’s number one hotel in the world, the magnificent The St. Regis Hotel, New York.

The hotel is nothing short of fabulous, being built in the Beaux- Arts architectural style which was the mode of the day. Originating from Paris’ famed École des Beaux- Arts, this highly ornate style combined ancient Greek and Roman architectural elements with Renaissance concepts, where columns, pilasters and moulding were embellished with countless garlands, flowers and shields. Many New York City landmarks built during this time, such as the aforementioned library, were of this style. Inside the hotel, public spaces are full of drama, adorned with glistening gilt ornamentation, deeply carved layers of moulding, and magnificent crystal chandeliers. The attention to details is apparent, from the glossy marble floors to the ceilings delicately painted with cherubs peering from fluffy clouds in blue skies.

A favoured watering hole of New York’s most influential residents and visitors, the King Cole Bar and Lounge features a wall mural painted by the legendary 20th-century illustrator Maxfield Parrish. It depicts Old King Cole-the smiling image of the merry old soul is said to deliberately resemble John Jacob Astor IV himself. Guests can enjoy the high life in cosy leather armchairs while sipping Bloody Mary in the place where they were invented. A Cognac Room serves post-prandials for guests who want a sip before they retire. For high tea, the Astor Court serves traditional afternoon noshes atop Limoges china and Tiffany & Co. silver, under Waterford crystal chandeliers.

FEATURES

- 15 meeting rooms

- English-style butlers

- Fitness centre

- Remède Spa

The hotel takes advantage of its command of the Big Apple’s skyline at every turn, with breathtaking views of the Hudson River from the spa to that of Central Park from the hotel’s restaurant. The Spa at Mandarin Oriental, New York invites guests to refresh themselves in a tranquil paradise.
