The St. Regis New York



New York City is a collection of exceptional experiences, from the natural beauty of Central Park to the bustle of Broadway, from iconic art at the Met to the cobblestone streets of the Meatpacking District. Located right in the heart of it all is The St. Regis New York, the ultimate Manhattan hotel. Since opening in 1904, the hotel, founded by John Jacob Astor IV, has been synonymous with innovation and luxury. Its rich history includes famous residents (Salvador Dalí, Marlene Dietrich) and the invention of the “Red Snapper” – now commonly known as the Bloody Mary – by legendary barman Fernand Petiot in 1934. The classic cocktail can still be enjoyed in front of the same Maxfield Parrish mural at the hotel’s King Cole Bar. Today, the hotel’s influence is as strong as ever.
