Located just off Fifth Avenue, the St. Regis reigns as New York’s grande dame. Opened in 1904, this Beaux Arts landmark defines elegance with its gleaming marble, glittering gold leafing and sparkling chandeliers. The guest rooms are elegantly decorated in soft pastel colors with Louis XVI-style furnishings. The Astor Court is the perfect place to enjoy traditional afternoon tea. Renowned for its famous Red Snapper cocktail and bewitching Maxfield Parrish mural, the King Cole Bar is a favorite of hotel guests and locals alike. Be sure to ask the bartender why crafty Old King Cole is smirking.
