Having landed around 1:30 pm, we were at the St-Regis well before the 4 pm check-in time.




Unfortunatly the room was not het ready, but luggage was quickly stowed. We were also informed that as we were staying 4 nights, the destination fee did not apply.
It being a nice spring day we headed to central park which is only one block away to get some fresh air after a day of flying.

Half an hour later we got a call from the front desk that the room was ready, so we headed back were we were quickly given our room key’s.

We had booked a grand deluxe room and were given such, however the room we received had connecting doors to the room next door which seemed to be occupied by a group of teenagers playing music videos and discussing their sexual experiences. Sound isolation because of the connecting was so poor that it felt like they were just sitting inside our room, which is not what we’re looking for at this price point.

The porter who brought up our luggage agreed with us so we were quickly back down to the reception desk and were immediatly given another room which was much more quiet.

The grand deluxe is quite spacious and the desk and seating area were usefull to do some teams meetings in the mornings.

Immediatly after settling in, the butler arrived to present herself and to offer the coffee and tea service, which was promptly delivered and which we would use each morning before breakfast.










It being the first time in New York, we of course wanted to see a Broadway show and this was planned on the first evening, the idea being that having had several meals on the flights we wouldn’t need an elaborate dinner. This with complete disrespect for any jetlag.

As Pamela Anderson temporarily took on the role of Roxie Hart in Chicago, that’s what we decided on.

Before leaving, we went for pre-show drinks in the famous King Cole bar where drinks aren’t cheap but the pours are very generous and the atmosphere is great for people watching.




The St-Regis has a great hotel car service which takes you 10 block for free, so transport to the ambassador theatre was quickly arranged. It’s a pity they no longer use the Bentley advertized on the website, but the Cadillac Escalade was also very luxurious.

The theatre was not far and the show was good, however during the second part the jetlag got me and our seats were good enough for Pamela Anderson staring at me falling asleep (at least that’s how it felt ).







After the show we did feel hungry, but as it was raining, we didn’t feel like searching for a place to eat so we took an Uber back to the hotel.

The King Cole bar was closing down and didn’t offer food anymore, so a room service pizza it was, before a well deserved rest.
