The St. Regis New York is proud to announce the hotel
is concluding an extensive renovation to culminate in a striking reveal this
month. With renovated and redesigned guestrooms, suites and public spaces and
the debut of the new King Cole Bar & Salon under renowned New York chef and
restaurateur, John DeLucie, The St. Regis New York will unveil a bold new era
of glamour at Manhattan’s best address. The renovation will reflect the hotel’s
enduring legacy while infusing the timeless allure which has defined the Fifth
Avenue icon since its founding by John Jacob Astor IV over a century ago.
“Since it
opened in 1904, The St. Regis New York has entertained every generation of
society with the unique ability to capture the ever-changing spirit of the city
and stay synonymous with impeccable style and inherent glamour,” said Paul
James, Global Brand Leader, St. Regis, The Luxury Collection and W Hotels
Worldwide. “This renovation marks a momentous occasion for the St. Regis
brand, a New York icon, now celebrated at 31 hotels around the world, each
setting the stage for the next generation of luxury travelers.”
The
multi-million dollar, comprehensive renovation at The St. Regis New York
culminated this November 2013, with redesigned guest rooms, suites, hallways and
public spaces. HDC, the renowned interior design firm that transformed The St.
Regis Florence, has created an aesthetic based on a “timeless is modern”
philosophy, embracing the design legacy of the hotel while infusing
contemporary style. This fresh and sophisticated approach will marry original
design elements, such as the crystal Waterford chandeliers and elegant crown
moldings, with beautiful, large-format photographic artwork, vibrant-hued
fabrics and stunning beveled mirrors.
The
treasured King Cole Bar, Manhattan’s most storied meeting place, will see
expansion into the King Cole Bar & Salon, where an extensive lounge will
feature a dramatic open fireplace. Uptown sophistication meets downtown chic in
this reimagined space where The St. Regis New York will also debut a new
culinary partnership with renowned New York chef and restaurateur, John
DeLucie. With the debut of John DeLucie at The King Cole Bar & Salon, the
hotel will offer an unrivaled dining experience that is quintessentially Manhattan.
The new restaurant will feature modern American cuisine with an international
twist, reflecting the rich cultural mix that is New York City. The menu will
offer a tailored selection of small plates including new creations, DeLucie’s
celebrated specialties and reimagined classics from the hotel’s early days.
Infusing contemporary glamour into the landmark hotel’s rich culinary heritage,
John DeLucie will create a dynamic epicurean experience for New York’s social
elite and a new generation of luxury travelers.
The Fifth
Avenue landmark will reveal a new vision for its public spaces as well. In the
iconic lobby of The St. Regis New York, the renovation will reincorporate lost
architectural elements, including opening up oval windows above the front desk
which were part of the original design of the hotel, while simultaneously
infusing fresh touches through updated furnishings and amenities. Following the
2013 renovation, the beloved classic elements of the lobby and salon spaces
will shine brighter in a contemporary context.
The
guestroom floors will feature chic, black-lacquer painted doors, textured
fabric walls and five distinct color palettes in the entryway on each floor.
Guestrooms will be updated to include marble tiled entryways, rich color
schemes with bold accent colors, sumptuous fabrics and luxe leather details,
custom furnishings and state of the art technologies. An extensive art program,
with emphasis on New York City photography by Janet Arsdale and Hampton Hall,
will be integrated into every guestroom and suite. Additionally, every bathroom
in the entire hotel will be renovated, refurbished, and updated to create a
spa-like atmosphere paired with the latest technology.
The St.
Regis’ master suites will undergo remarkable redesign and extensive renovation
complementing the reimagined guestrooms. The dramatic Imperial Suite
will feature European Chinoiserie and East Asian furnishings set against
alluring red tones with crystal and gold leaf accents. Mixed stylistic
influences and a reinvented open floor plan will lend a residential flow to the
space, while plush new window seats will offer both stunning views of Manhattan
to Central Park, and serve as cozy havens for retreat. The Royal Suite
will embody the perfect mix of European style and American spirit. The suite
will feature a rich color palette, gilded moldings, exotic prints and an
eclectic art collection. The Presidential Suite has been reimagined as a
sumptuous collector’s suite where sophisticated global luxury travelers will
surround themselves with the art and treasures of their travels. Furniture
styles range from contemporary to classic and blend seamlessly with chic
accents, making it the ideal locale for both stylish entertaining and
relaxation. The renovation will bring new luster to the hotel’s exclusive
collection of designer suites: Bentley, Tiffany and Dior Suites
while maintaining their unique and beloved bespoke décor.
The St.
Regis brand’s ongoing legacy comes to life through continued traditions
including jazz, signature Bloody Mary cocktails and Maxfield Parrish’s “Old
King Cole” mural casting its watchful eye as New York society meets, entertains
and celebrates in the beloved space. Throughout the renovation, the hotel has
remained committed not only to the preservation of the St. Regis’ legacy,
but to an uncompromising level of bespoke and anticipatory service, delivered
flawlessly by the brand’s signature St. Regis Butlers, who have traded in their
silver trays for smartphones and are as adept formatting spreadsheets as they
are shining shoes.
As
Starwood continues to invest in the creation, renovation and restoration of its
global luxury portfolio, it remains essential to celebrate the St. Regis
brand’s heritage and its flagship on Fifth Avenue. Engaging a new generation of
luxury travelers and tastemakers, the St. Regis brand will debut a new era of
glamour this fall at The St. Regis New York: the foundation for all St. Regis
properties around the world.
