St. Regis Hotel

Two East 55th Street

Phone: (212) 753-4500

When price is no object the St Regis Hotel is an absolute stunner. This 1904 Beaux Arts building couldn't be in a better location overlooking 5th Avenue. A new restaurant Adour with chef Alain Ducasse opened in 2008 placing the St. Regis in a class above the rest of the hotels in New York.

What can you expect for your buck? 24 hour butler services, an on site florist, a 24 hour business center and the ultimate bath menu. Bath menu you ask, yes bath menu, soak in your tub while drinking Krug Champagne , eating chocolates from La Maison du Chocolate and feasting on caviar. This is the total luxury package.

If you feel the need to hit the spa after your bathtub indulgence then the Remede Spa is prepared to offer body treatments. Massage and skin care.

The rooms come in several categories the least expensive being the superior. All rooms have marble baths with separate showers, silk wall coverings and custom made furniture. The room size for the superior is 430 square feet. Standard room amenities include bathrobes, Remede bath amenities, feather pillows and feather down comforters.
