Frommer's Review

When John Jacob Astor built the St. Regis in 1904, he set out to create a hotel that would reflect the elegance and luxury of hotels in Europe. Over a hundred years later, the St. Regis, now a New York landmark, still reflects that European splendor. This Beaux Arts classic is a marvel: Antique furniture, crystal chandeliers, silk wall coverings, and marble floors adorn both the public spaces and the high-ceilinged guest rooms. The suites are ornate, some with French doors, four-poster beds, and decorative fireplaces. The marble bathrooms are spacious and feature separate showers and tubs. Plasma televisions were recently added in all the rooms, along with LCD screens in the bathrooms. Service is efficiently white-gloved and every guest is assigned a personal, tuxedoed butler, on call 24 hours to answer any reasonable requests. Afternoon tea is served daily in the Astor Court and chef Alain Ducasse's New York Times three-star winner, Adour, is the hotel's restaurant.

Facilities:
Restaurant; historic bar; tea lounge; babysitting; butler service; concierge; fitness center & spa; room service; valet service

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
