Frequently Asked

Questions, Answered

What defines the St. Regis brand, and where did it originate?

St. Regis was founded by John Jacob Astor IV in 1904, opening at Fifth Avenue and 55th Street in New York. The service standard, personal, anticipatory, and endlessly refined, was designed to bring the tradition of a grand European private residence to American hospitality. That standard still defines every St. Regis address worldwide.

What are the Rituals of the House at St. Regis properties?

Each St. Regis preserves signature rituals: butler service in every suite, the daily ceremonial sabrage of champagne, afternoon tea, and the evening cocktail ceremony tied to the property's bespoke cocktail. These rituals are not scripted performances, but a deliberate continuation of the Astor-era tradition, adapted to each location.

Which St. Regis properties does Elevida specifically feature?

Three with dedicated landing pages on the site: The St. Regis New York (the original House of Astor), The St. Regis Maldives Vommuli (a private-island Indian Ocean sanctuary), and The St. Regis Florence (on the Arno, within the former palace).
