“An Elegant Past for a Modern Present”

The St. Regis Hotel, New York

5 of 5 stars
Washington DC, District of Columbia
Mar 18, 2007
5/6 found this review helpful

We spent two nights at the flagship St. Regis hotel in New York City in February 2007. What a wonderful stay – we’d go back again in a minute.

This hotel boasts a kind of hushed elegance that strikes just the right counterbalance to the hustle and bustle of New York City. The location, on Fifth Avenue in the mid-50s, is far enough away to avoid the crowds of the theater district but close enough to make getting around simple and straightforward. The lobby and public spaces are both grand and intimate and the hallways are hushed and elegant. The flowers and fine decoration everywhere make it seem the height of luxury. The hotel’s layout, design, service and amenities are all as top-notch as you would expect.

The highlight of our stay was the room. We were upgraded to an Astor Suite and greatly enjoyed the extra space. The rooms are traditional, but with modern amenities and the result is a nice blend of both elegance and technology that is not an easy thing to pull off in a hotel room. The St. Regis succeeds very well in this regard, probably because it has always been a high-end hotel and changes made during the renovation simply updated what was already there. We’re not sure if they added soundproofing during the renovation or if the hotel has always been so quiet: either way it’s a truly relaxing escape, with no outside sounds to interfere with the wonderful ambiance of the rooms.

The front desk service, housekeeping and concierges are all excellent. We particularly enjoyed the food and beverage presentations, complimentary pressing and shoe shines and “no problem” attitude of the wonderful butler service. The only drawback to our stay was the service in the restaurant and bar. We’re Four Seasons people and we’re accustomed to service in the bar and restaurant being one of the highlights of our stay at those properties. Despite the elegance and luxury of the St. Regis, the bar service was perfunctory at best and the breakfast service was slow and mostly unfriendly. That’s a shame, because the space (even with the current construction in the restaurant) is beautiful. We didn’t sit in the bar itself because the small space was overflowing with people (we sat in the lower bar/restaurant area instead), but it looked very nice and we’d recommend at least seeing it during your stay at this hotel.

This is not a hotel for families on vacation in New York City: it’s a more refined and elegant space than the typical tourist hotel. It’s probably also not a hotel for serious business travelers who need service beyond their rooms: the business center is a dark room off the staircase with what looks like discarded furniture and very little privacy. This is a hotel for people looking for an elegant, luxurious, relaxing place to stay in the heart of New York City. If that’s what you want, and you’re willing to splurge to get it, this is the hotel for you.

“beautiful old world hotel”

The St. Regis Hotel, New York

3/5 found this review helpful

My new husband and i went to the st. regis the week of our wedding. the hotel was beautiful, i arrived in my wedding dress and we arrived at 2 in the morning and we got greeted with congratulations. We hardly leaved the room, we got upgraded to a room with a small sitting area and it was just beautiful. The bathroom was well stocked with great products and a beautiful shower, tub, and seperate toilet room. The 24- hour butler was an incredible service, we just dialed and we were served with whatever we needed on a silver tray. The most grandoise, luxurious, magnificent, rich hotel you will find in new york city. You dont feel the hustle of the city, you feel like ur in a European hotel. My new husband and I had such a romantic and special first week as newlyweds together in The St. Regis.

“Phenomenal Food and a beautiful hotel”

The St. Regis Hotel, New York

Feb 3, 2007
3/3 found this review helpful

We stayed here for a wedding ceremony and had the best time I've ever had in a hotel. This place was amazing! Our hotel room was the most beautiful room with an esquisite view of the city. We had two bathrooms, a livingroom, and a gorgeous bedroom. I took a long bubble bath in the very clean and luxurious tub. The best part of the whole stay was the wedding upstairs. The food was the best meal my husband and I have ever had! White truffle risotto with Shank, Chocolate dome cakes, everything was top of the line. If I wasn't already married I'd be finding that Chef and taking him hostage for my own forever!

“An exceptionally fine luxury hotel”

The St. Regis Hotel, New York

5 of 5 stars
Bangkok, Thailand
Jan 16, 2007
30/30 found this review helpful

We truly enjoyed the St. Regis New York especially for the ultra-luxurious rooms with very comfortable dream beds fit for a king! Although we would categorize just a notch below some of the 5-star grand hotels of Europe, e.g. The Ritz London, Le Meurice Paris, etc. it is nevertheless a delightful retreat does not fail to pamper. The deluxe rooms and the marble bathroom were exceptionally large and beautiful, featuring all the expected amenities While we enjoyed the rooms a great deal, we felt that the lobby and other public areas of the hotel, while retaining the grandeur of the hotel's reputation, were not all that impressive. Service was superb, as would be expected in a hotel of this category. Location is excellent -- if looking for a convenient place to stay in New York, the St. Regis is centrally situated. We would certainly recommend this hotel to anyone wishing to spend upwards of $600 per night for accomodations in Manahattan. Well worth the price.

“Best Hotel in NYC”

The St. Regis Hotel, New York

5 of 5 stars
Houston, Tx

4/4 found this review helpful

We returned to the St Regis to celebrate our anniversary. I used points and then extra points to upgrade from a standard to a delux room. I have stayed at this hotel many times and I let them know about our special occasion. The hotel put us in the largest suite I have had at this hotel or any other. It was incredible and unexpected since we used points. In addition I was told that the hotel ws sold out upon my request to extend for one day since it would have been totally free under the Starwood program ,if you use points for 4 nights you can get the fifth night free. The national reservation line said to check with the hotel during our stay. The hotel accomodated us and even let us stay in the suite, wonderful. Go to the new Gordon Ramsey at the London Hotel, it was fantastic and so was Blue Hill in Union Square, a recommendation of the concierge. This was a memorable trip and stay at this grand hotel
