About The St. Regis New York

Maxfield Parrish’s Old King Cole mural has presided over drinks at The St. Regis New York since 1932, giving its namesake bar a place in the hotel’s story as memorable as its Fifth Avenue address. That sense of continuity runs through this hotel founded by John Jacob Astor IV: butlers still unpack luggage and deliver morning coffee, while La Maisonette takes its design cues from the original 1910s breakfast room. Guest rooms bring jewel-toned textiles, polished brass and marble into the residential interiors. At Fifth Avenue and 55th Street, near MoMA and Central Park, the hotel makes a distinctive base for Manhattan, with afternoon tea and a Red Snapper at the King Cole Bar providing reasons to linger indoors.

Why Celebrities Love The St. Regis New York

Butler service has a concrete value here: help with pressing clothes and last-minute gifts can smooth a demanding New York schedule. The King Cole Bar adds a more pleasurable reason to return, turning an end-of-day drink into an encounter with one of the city's enduring hotel traditions.
