The St. Regis New York
Spacious, colourful and playful residence




Benefiting from a multiyear, $90m renovation the 238 rooms at the St Regis New York, on East 55th Street near Fifth Avenue, have been given an open, modern gloss, with fewer walls and brighter colours; the King Cole Bar & Salon, under the direction of chef John DeLucie, of Greenwich Village’s Waverly Inn, offers entrees in four categories: Sea, Land, Greens and Grain. And cigarette smoke has been scrubbed from Maxfield Parrish’s Old King Cole mural at the bar, making it a merry old place to enjoy a drink indeed.
