Today: Top 10 best St Regis Hotels & Resorts in the world

St Regis is one of three ultra-luxe hotel brands managed by the Marriott Hotel Group (the other two are Bvlgari and Ritz-Carlton). Born of a distinctive legacy and crafted for discerning travelers who desire the finest experiences, the brand established luxury hospitality with the launch of The St Regis New York  property in 1904. From the moment John Jacob Astor IV opened the doors of his Beaux-Arts masterpiece on Manhattan’s Fifth Avenue, the St Regis brand has always been associated with uncompromising elegance and bespoke service. Butler service has been a signature feature of the St Regis experience for more than a century, and St Regis remains the only luxury hospitality brand in the world to offer this personalized service at every one of their hotels. Combining classic sophistication with a modern sensibility, more than 40 St Regis hotels around the world are committed to delivering exceptional experiences. Here are my 10 favorite St Regis Hotels and Resorts across the globe.
