"Included among the luxury hotel stays on the 12‑night Pan Am itinerary, this New York property stood in for the kind of world‑class lodging the trip promised—one of the world’s leading luxury hotels selected to complement days filled with top‑tier meals, drinks, and insightful, aviation‑themed experiences." - Ramsey Qubein
"An icon needs an institution. The St. Regis is timeless luxury incarnate, much like Zendaya’s Met Gala looks. Butler service? Naturally. Classic New York glamour? Always." - Ty Gaskins
"While New York City’s boutique hotels often grab the spotlight for their modern charm and creature-comfort amenities, the city’s classic elegance remains just as captivating. Among the city’s century-old landmarks, the St. Regis stands out as a testament to timeless luxury. Located on 55th Street between Fifth and Park, this iconic hotel, founded by John Jacob Astor, offers a glimpse into New York’s rich history and enduring allure." - The MICHELIN Guide
"The St. Regis, just down the street from the White House, serves afternoon tea in its busy, bustling lobby, where studying who’s coming in and out of the hotel’s front door is DC’s version of big game hunting. Watching it all from the comfort of a fancy couch, cup of tea in hand, is what this is all about. It’s one of the most extravagant tea services in the city ($109 without Champagne, and $135 and up with), and snacks and sweets are served on giant seasonal displays of faux cherry trees or Ferris wheels." - madeline weinfield
"Even the most unaffected New Yorkers can’t help but feel a tinge of nostalgia when passing through the gilded revolving doors of the St. Regis, promptly greeted by a gentleman with white gloves and a smile. The sense of the city’s golden era lingers in that lobby, where shining chandeliers warm the pale walls to create a necessary calming counter to the crush of cabs and suits in Midtown Manhattan. It’s precisely the atmosphere John Jacob Astor IV sought to capture when he opened this 18-story, Beaux-Arts landmark at the turn of last century. Today, there’s more Michael Kors than mink in the King Cole Bar, though the order hasn’t changed: Ignore the lengthy cocktail list and go for a note-perfect dry Martini or a Bloody Mary, the house speciality, and fall into conversation with the bankers in from Boston sitting at the bar. For those who do stay on for another martini (or three), it’s nice to know that your suite is just an elevator ride away. It may be done up in lipstick-ruby wallpaper or blue velvet curtains and striped white walls, with classic pieces such as silk-stitched love seats and oil paintings to resemble that glamorous pied à terre everyone fantasizes about. This is a New York institution that channels the city’s glamorous past like no other, steps from the Fifth Avenue buzz." - CNT Editors
