What The St. Regis New York actually is
Built by John Jacob Astor IV in 1904 as the flagship of the family's hotel holdings, The St. Regis invented the butler service model that the rest of the luxury industry copied. Every guest, in every room category, gets one — a genuine point of difference rather than a marketing line.
The King Cole Bar downstairs is the reason many New Yorkers come through the door: Maxfield Parrish's 1906 mural of Old King Cole hangs behind the bar, and the Red Snapper — the house name for the Bloody Mary — was first mixed under it. Guest rooms are formal, silk-walled and quiet, a block from Fifth Avenue's flagship stores.
What stands out
- 01 St. Regis Butler Service included in every room category
