St. Regis makes a home in NY

St. Regis Hotels & Resorts will provide an opportunity to call The St. Regis Hotel, New York your home in Manhattann with four full floors of the legendary property to be offered as exclusive residential dwellings. “Prompted by our guests’ reluctance to leave The St. Regis Hotel, New York, we are delighted to introduce an exclusive number of fractional and wholly-owned hotel condominium residences which further extend the St. Regis lifestyle,” stated Kerry Hatch, President of St. Regis Hotels & Resorts.

The St. Regis Hotel, New York is revered as one of the finest addresses in the world. The hotel’s luxurious Beaux Arts exterior, dramatic public spaces, richly designed guest rooms and impeccable service create a luxurious, residential environment, while personal butlers attend to every wish and desire. While many years ago, guests including Salvador Dali, Babe Paley and Marilyn Monroe once “lived” at The St. Regis Hotel, New York for extended periods of time, it is the first time any of the deluxe guest rooms or suites in the Beaux-Arts building will be available for sale.

The introduction of St. Regis Residence Club, New York, Inc. follows the phenomenal success of the St. Regis Residence Club, Aspen, the first fractional offering from the ultra-luxe St. Regis brand which set a new benchmark for luxury fractional sales when a four-week membership was sold for over $1 million. St. Regis Residence Club, New York will be located on the 8th and 9th floors of the hotel, and will offer 22 deluxe studios, one or two bedroom suites with membership sold in 28-day increments. Additionally, two full floors of wholly-owned St. Regis Residences will occupy the 10th and 11th floors. Sales of both residential offerings are underway with expected occupancy of Summer 2006.

“The St. Regis Residence Club, New York will be an exceptional opportunity for a limited few to own part of this landmark property. The St. Regis Residence Club, New York will redefine customer service and luxury in the fractional market,” said Raymond L. “Rip” Gellein, Jr., Chief Executive Officer of Starwood Vacation Ownership.

The St. Regis Residences and The St. Regis Residence Club, New York, as well as the hotel’s stately guest rooms and suites, have been redesigned by noted interior designers Sills Huniford, known for their work with such clients as Tina Turner and Vera Wang, and will be offered to potential buyers in two color schemes: steel blue-green and yellow saffron daffodil. The design team, recognized worldwide and celebrated by major design publications for their extraordinary sense of space, color, texture and style, have created timeless spaces that embrace the legacy of the St. Regis of unsurpassed luxury and trademark sophistication.
