Accommodations

The St Regis NYC, founded by John Jacob Astor, opened its doors in 1904. It was the first St Regis hotel focused on luxury and elegance. The King Cole Bar became a welcome addition in 1932. That was because a Maxfield Parrish painting of Old King Cole, owned by Astor, moved from the Knickerbocker Hotel to the St Regis. The hotel was recently renovated but still retains its original glamor.

Facilities

The St Regis NYC offers a selection of rooms to choose from: Superior guest rooms, Deluxe guest rooms, Grand Luxe guest rooms, and 67 Suites in 13 different styles.

For dining or cocktails, the Astor Court St Regis and the King Cole Bar provide an elegant and sophisticated experience. The King Cole Bar is one of the several locales suggested as the home of the Bloody Mary. The story is that in 1934 (one year after the end of prohibition), the St Regis bartender, Fernand Petiot, created a drink that he named the Red Snapper. However, it was subsequently called a Bloody Mary. The hotel also has in-room dining with a “mini-butler bites” menu just for kids.
