The St. Regis Hotel New York Review

St. Regis NYC is my worldwide favorite hotel. It is classic, intimate, impeccable in every standard measurable.

Amazing service and great food. What more can you ask for??

Everything about this hotel is gorgeous and high class. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking to have a luxe stay in New York.

I love their afternoon tea at the Astor's Court. The harpist played Happy Birthday when the server brought out the surprise birthday chocolate mousse for my friend. Everyone clapped and made my friend's day very special!

A hotel from another era but has maintained its Grand experience.

Maxfield Parrish s painting of Ole King Cole is beautiful to behold!

Amazing overall hotel from the staff to the amenities. Lives up to the name

Door man that is working in midday that's very rude

Hello respected team of marriott international/regis new York want to tell you someone using your hotels name and try to make fool to people,he's offering fake job's and sending email and forms and all i wanna be sure that's why i try to contact with you I don't have any any contact number or mail address of st.Regis new York that's why i leave a massage here thanks yours sincerely

Opulent. Classy. Stylish. I love the butler service. Food is also lovely.

Excellent hotel, but the jewel of the place is the bar: The King Cole Bar. Wall mural by Maxfield Parrish behind the bar. Yes it s expensive and loud, but you don t care because it s such an icon. Service is good and there are some excellent seats throughout. The bar menu has some fun choices. Every time I m in New York I make it a point to go. It s a relatively inexpensive place to go to say you ve been a part of something so special.

It is the typical American movie hotel. The lobby is very nice and you may meet a famous person. The rooms are amazing and commensurate with the price. The location is good and the area safe. The personnel is very friendly

Surprisingly large, beautifully decorated rooms and a staff that is ready and willing to do whatever you need them to do.

The packing service was particularly cool. Before you leave, ask the butler to pack (or unpack) and they do an awesome job.

The hotel is beautifully designed and the staff is nice and sweet. The suite is comfortable and spacey. Love it.

great hotel if you get a nice room. Some rooms are small but all are good

The bar was great. Good ambience, good drinks, good service. The restaurant was at best mediocre and at worst actively bland/unappealing.

Beautifully placed hotel and luxurious rooms with extraordinary decor and service. The staff is very helpful and guess what, the hotel also has a butler service - ensures very timely service.

And a very new thing I saw here - an electric mirror, reflecting TV embedded in washroom mirror.

And yes, the cost is justified - given you book at below 500$ per day, more than that - you have to evaluate priorities!

Really nice rooms and great service. Good thing my employer footed the bill though.

Had the pleasure of having lunch here after a tour of the Hotel from the Manager, Octavia. Wonderful place.

Top notch hotel no matter where in the world you visit their properties. Excellent food, service, Gold members get complimentary upgrades. I call it superlative, but only if u can afford it, is it worth the premium.

St.regis in ny has one of the best hospitality I seen in nyc hotel. Friend face with friendly services.

The room was incredible and The service here is excellent all the staff where so nice we stayed in the 2 room Madison suite it was very beautiful

Beautiful hotel. Excellent service. They could not do enough for me. I will most certainly use again.

Wow. I used up a load of SPG points for a couple of nights here and wasn't disappointed. The "basic" room gorgeous - and they won me over by giving my daughter a wee teddy bear, coupon for some candy/sweets in the lower lobby shop, and milk and cookies on her first night.

I was a bit peeved that the butler service didn't provide coffee/tea at any time of day given there are no in-room facilities. I was sure the St Regis in Bangkok did so...

Health Club was small - almost as much room in the generous changing areas as in the facility. No pool - they have an arrangement with a nearby hotel.

All over, a calm, luxurious haven in the middle of mid-town.

Great venue, beautiful decor and excellent food. Hard to complain about anything here, pretty much everything is top notch.

Attended a wedding ceremony here in November of 2015. Beautiful rooms, fantastic views. The ceremony and reception were amazing, great service by the waiters and staff.

The most perfect Manhattan Cocktail in the world. X

My favorite hotel in NYC. Love the bar scene and the wonderful dedicated Butler. I married at the St Regis. Two years later went back for New Years and was delighted ro find two cases of Cyrstal Champagne in my room! They saved my left over champagne from my wedding!!!

The lounge was the perfect place to find a gold digger.

Christmas Cocktails are a favorite family tradition

Extraordinary service. You're paying for refinement and that's what you get.

Amazingly professional staff and the design and decor of the hotel is warming

Beautiful hotel and wonderful staff
I wish to be a staff to in St #regis
#God willing

St. Regis Hotel ca. 1907 John Jacob Astor conceived Hotel St. Regis as a companion of the original Waldorf-Astoria Hotel. While the Waldorf-Astoria was successful, its neighborhood declined in social value. Astor decided that he was going to build a hotel that would combine the best of Europe in elegance and luxury. When buying land on East 55th Street and Fifth Avenue, Astor intended that St. Regis be located in the most elegant part of the city. Astor hired the architecture studio Trowbridge and Livingston. The architects designed an 18-story Beaux-Arts hotel that would be one of the first hotels in the New York skyscraper tower. However, he encountered a controversy from the moment construction began in 1901. The land Astor had bought was in the middle of rows of mansions owned by the Vanderbilts and other wealthy New Yorkers. The St. Regis would rise above their homes and turn their elegant neighborhood into a new center. The residents of St. Regis used their influence to delay as much as possible. First, the Building Board discovered that the hotel was not fireproof properly, which stopped construction. Then, the neighbors sued due to the blasting necessary for the foundations of the hotel, however, the courts ruled against them. Finally, neighbors discovered that St. Regis violated a New York liquor statute due to its proximity to St. Thomas. The statute made it illegal to obtain a liquor license if you were less than 200 feet from a church. St. Regis was able to prevail in court by maintaining that its main entrance was far enough away not to violate the statue.

The St. Regis was completed and opened on September 4, 1904. Some estimates claim that it cost some (astonishing at the moment) $ 5.5 million. The rooms were completely modern with everything from telephones to heating and electric lighting. However, the fight was not over yet. Liquor law also required that St. Regis need the permission of two thirds of its neighbors to approve the liquor license. In 1904, William Rockefeller quickly bought a neighboring mansion to use it to revoke the St. Regis license. However, J.J. Astor immediately bought another to support him. Stories were published in the newspaper to stain the hotel's reputation, but high-profile visits by the Roosevelts and the Japanese imperial family helped reinforce it. Finally, friends of J.J. Astor in the New York Senate prompted an amendment to the liquor law that exempted hotels with more than 200 rooms. The new law left St. Regis and J.J Astor victorious. However, Astor was not going to enjoy the success of St. Regis for a long time, dying in 1912 aboard the Titanic. His son Vincent would sell the St. Regis to the Duke's Durham Realty company, which expanded it by adding another wing. However, during the great depression, Vincent bought it again for a song and invested money to return it to its former glory (including the installation of the Old King Cole Mural of the Knickerbocker Hotel). Since then, it has been restored and remodeled. times. In 1988, it was closed for three years when Sheraton made a complete restoration. Similarly, Starwood would renovate the hotel again in 2014.

My experience at the St Regis NY was 5 star plus! St Regis gives you a upper class feeling from the when you walk in until you check out. My best part of the hotel was the two great door mans Tom and Matt! (Thank you so much for making sure I get a ride in the Bentley). Will be visiting here again. Thank you St Regis and staff for making my anniversary getaway a nice a pleasant one!

Large rooms, professional staff great location in Midtown.

The St. Regis is always such a beautiful experience. Dr. Aaron really enjoyed his stay and was happy with the service. Concierge Domenic and Roel were very helpful in assisting with Dr. Aaron with reservations to a well recommended restaurant. I definitely recommend St. Regis to for a wonderful and luxurious experience.

Had a great weekend there, I don't love NY but this was the most fun I've had in a while

I go to the St Regis for hosted business lunches. Food is always excellent and staff is first rate. Make a point of having their ice tea.

The King Cole Bar is wonderful and worth the price tag!

Such a hotel does not have the status to stay usually, but it was the best experience anyway.
This is the first time I was completely satisfied except with a hotel in Japan. I have also stayed at The St. Regis in Mumbai, but it was the difference between clouds and mud.
I would like to try a challenge in the local Osaka, but financial difficulties; ^ _ ^ A
It is better to make the economy an economy and spend money on the hotel.

I would recommend the St. Regis to anyone and everyone. The rooms are incredible, and I never wanted to leave the bathroom! Also, if you have the opportunity to take the house car, you won't regret it. I will never stay anywhere else while in the city.

Room moon I am very happy with the hotel which offers a very very wonderful space widely

An absolute historic gem on 5th ave. The hotel brings out the elegance of a bygone era. The rooms are state of the art with tv's in the bathroom mirrors! The service is impeccable and everything you need is the push of a button away.

Very well appointed, sweets are very luxurious. Staff is friendly and accommodating.

Convenient, centrally located with excellent service. A little pricey depending upon how you look at stuff

Was here for the nightly champagne sabering. Definitely a fun experience for anyone seeking different activities to try in the city.

Good hotel but I hate the traffic in the block because of the stupid construction

The St. Regis is one of the top luxury hotels in New York. The service of top notch, including the butler service for each room. If you're busy, the butler can help unpack and pack your luggage among many other services like two complimentary garment presses. The decor and upkeep are simply perfect. All in all, you can't go wrong with the St. Regis if you're looking for the very best. Kudos to the General Manager Mr. Geray.

Helpful staff, well appointed comfortable and quite room. Fantastic showers with a proper soaking tub. Great New York hotel! Highly recommended.

Went to the vault for a holiday office party. Great place with great staff!

Faulty, old electricity. No early check in. Arrived at 2pm after requesting early check in and was assured that a room would be ready before the usual 4pm check in. Waited 2 hours in a cramped "Cognac Room" with 6 chairs and no refreshments or snacks. Not worth the $$

Beautiful hotel, good rooms and room service but very disappointing food and service at the restaurant. When you pay for more than $50 for a simple breakfast item or a egg dish, you expect nicely hand cut house roasted potatoes or vegetables. Instead the chef choose to serve multi colored frozen precut potatoes from Sysco. I don t even serve that fir staff food. So as service, there are 2/3 managers and waiters roaming around but no one care if your water or juice glasses are empty. I would recommend the hotel but never again in that restaurant.

If you can afford it, stay here at least once in your life. It is iconic and the epitome of perfection. Everything about it is incredible.

Beautiful hotel. Our room was lovely and the bathroom was large and clean. Included in our stay was a butler who catered to our every request whose purpose was to pamper us during our stay here. Everything was within walking distance and if you don't feel like walking, they have a house Bentley to take you where you want to go (within a 10 block radius). After years of searching, I've found my favorite hotel in NYC!!!

I realize this property has been around for decades. The walls and staircases have seen it all.
Yet after all this time this property has to be the standard bearer for elegance, service, hospitality and service.
Elegant
Dignified
Proper service.
It is classic New York and it is exactly what a luxury property should be.
In the city that never sleeps, this is the property that never stops serving its guests.
If you re going to do it, do it right. This is New York City and it s not going to be cheap. Its easy to have sticker shock for breakfast or parking. Save up for a trip here and it will be beyond your wildest dreams.

The restaurant is really very high quality. The rest is impeccable.

One of my favorite hotel! Amazing place! Everything you need has a name:st regis New York hotel

Staff was very helpful, and the food was excellent.

Not impressed with Butler service, very arrogant, lacked customer service, although waiter Cesar at breakfast time was excellent.
Left message for manager, he never returned the call. I will not recommend this hotel.

Hotel staff is fantastic. Always helpful and kind. The rooms are small as compared to other cities, but decent sized for New York. Bring cash for tripping doormen and floor butlers.

My favorite place to stay!!! Service is great! Rooms are gorgeous and spacious. Butler service is A+. Will only stay here when visiting NYC. Drinks at the bar were great!
