Two short leisure stays at the St. Regis Lhasa at the beginning and at the end of a one week visitb to Lhasa and Tibet, in early May. The second stay was actually an upgrade from the 4Points were we had reserved ourb the last night .after a private tour to the Everest base camp. The local guide well organized .the tour .and for local permits (pm if you need name and address) but Hotel did also provide reccomendations for other local companies. They also have some suggestions on tours on their web page . The hotel is brand new, built in a modern tibetan style. Their position is also great, overlooking the Potala palace . Both times we were upgraded to a large Potala view room (the ones on the upper 6th floor at the far right end of the building have the best view) . There is a good restaurant and a relatively well equipped cave. Make sure to also visit the Decanter bar on the first floor (we discovered on our last night that as .a Platinum you are entitled to free soft drinks and wines from a small.selection ( South African Two Oceans red or white blend) . The staff is motivated but in general not very fluent in English . As a matter of fact , the.majority of guests seem to be from China, both on leisure or business. Mixed feelings about the butler service: the first time , on arrival, we had an impeessive tour of the property including a visit to the Presidential suit e balcony . On our second stay the service was unnoticeable. Nice pool and spa, youn could see them but not yet in service when we visited .A couple of additional observations : the Hotel seems managed by the same company of the Lhasa Four points. While not an expert on St.Regis properties, the level of service , while good, seems to me not up to the perfection I would expect from a St.Regis . Internet (wired and wifi) was very slow on our first stay (to the point it could not be used except in the business center) but worked well.on our stay (after other guests also complained).Also noticed some small imperfections on the wall paintings and the moquettes , close to the elevators to the rooms , were not well grounded and dispensing electric shocks any time you would be touching the elevator. Overall and these last observations, we had a very nicev stay at the St. Regis and enjoyed any moment of our week in Tibet .
