St. Regis Hotel
The St. Regis New York is a Forbes five-star, AAA five-diamond luxury hotel〔http://www.starwoodhotels.com/stregis/property/overview/index.html?propertyID=81〕 in Manhattan. It is located at 2 East 55th Street between Madison and Fifth Avenues, with an entrance on Fifth Avenue.
==Construction and opening==
The St. Regis was built by one of the wealthiest men in America, John Jacob Astor IV, as a companion to the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel, of which he owned half. The Waldorf-Astoria was, at the time, located 20 blocks south on Fifth Avenue in an area that had begun to decline in social importance as the area near Central Park gained favor. Astor's great-grandfather, John Jacob Astor, had earlier built one of the first modern hotels in the world, the Astor House, in Lower Manhattan in 1836.〔http://www.neighborhoodpreservationcenter.org/db/bb_files/1988StRegisHotel.pdf〕
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, John Francis Regis, known for his hospitality to travelers.〔http://www.stregisnewyork.com/experience/the-legacy/〕
The 18-story French Beaux-Arts style hotel, the tallest in the city when built, was designed by architects Trowbridge & Livingston, with interiors by Arnold Constable. Construction began in 1901 and the hotel opened September 4, 1904.
