speaking of st regis branding, context of bentley partnership >

[bentley:] 2010 operating loss grew by 26% to €245 million

2011, St. Regis joined Bentley in extraordinary partnership
Bentley Suite at The St. Regis New York [owned by starwood] launched 2012
second suite opening in the vibrant St. Regis Istanbul
2016 third suite at The St. Regis Dubai in Al Habtoor City

At the suggestion of his niece, Astor named the new hotel after Upper St. Regis Lake in the Adirondacks. The lake had been named for a French Jesuit priest, Jean-François Régis, known for his hospitality to travelers.[3]
expand from hotel to brand has logic and can be great
st regis & waldorf astoria may be only brands like above
ritz carlton (and mandarin oriental) was 2 hotels not 1
