That’s not what I said though! I have stayed at many modern St Regis properties (Istanbul, Mexico City, Beijing, Moscow, Kuala Lumpur, Dubai for example), but all unarguably hark back to the founding days of the St Regis New York: it’s the entire point of the brand. Every St Regis has a signature Bloody Mary, Astor Suites, Butler Service, references to the parties held in New York, etc. It is not that the hotel architecture has to be from the 19th Century, but that the entire brand is based around a reference to the Upper East Side in the 19th Century.
