HISTORY & HERITAGE

A born inventor and change maker, John Jacob Astor IV founded The St. Regis New York as a place to pursue his passions in the company of the city’s luminaries. More than a century later, the St. Regis brand is renowned for its tradition of innovation and commitment to impeccable service at more than 40 hotels and resorts around the world.

A Legacy in Time

The Caroline Astor

Many of our most cherished rituals are inspired by the tirelessly inventive mind of Gilded Age doyenne, Caroline Astor. She invited only a select “400” acquaintances, friends and luminaries to private teas, midnight suppers and affluent galas, creating America’s first high society register. As artists, visionaries and influencers of all kinds vied for inclusion, her social circle evolved to shape the first true expression of New York society.

An Extraordinary Life

Caroline Astor’s son, Colonel John Jacob Astor IV, introduced The St. Regis New York in 1904 to immediate acclaim, with The New York Times declaring it “the finest hotel in America.” A true visionary, inventor and entrepreneur John Jacob Astor ensured the original St. Regis was as technologically advanced as it was luxurious, insisting that each room have its own telephone. Astor perished during the sinking of the Titanic on April 15, 1912. More than a century later, the legacy of one of the Titanic’s wealthiest and most famous passengers lives on through the continued growth and evolution of St. Regis.
