WHITE PLAINS, NY -- In the heart of the world's entertainment capital, towering high above the city, stands a landmark
hotel devoted to the pursuit of grace, style and timeless elegance.
After a $40 million renovation and welcoming President Clinton as its first official guest, this Westside landmark
was formally unveiled Nov. 11 as The St. Regis, Los Angeles.
The 297-room property offers travelers a new, luxurious, world- class destination in West Los Angeles, and offers
a guest experience unique to St. Regis hotels, including soft-spoken luxury, understated elegance, gracious service
and a discreet sense of exclusive privacy throughout the stay.
The property now includes a new entrance and lobby, spacious guest rooms with private balconies offering spectacular
views of the ocean or the Hollywood Hills, and an expanded swimming-pool area with sun decks and private cabanas.
A full-service pampering spa, with nine treatment rooms, provides a quiet retreat, and an adjoining fitness room
overlooks the pool and features panoramic views of the ocean.
Additionally, The St. Regis, Los Angeles, is the only property in the city to offer 24-hour traditional butler
service.
The sumptuous guest rooms of the hotel include not only the most luxurious in decor but also state-of-the-art technology
to provide the ultimate guest-room experience.
Electronic controls in the bedside telephone console offer guests the ability to control most equipment in the
room, including the television, DVD player, CD player, surround sound, lighting and air conditioning. The system
is programmable for seven foreign languages as well. All rooms offer high-speed Internet access, a laptop safe
that provides battery charging, a fax/copier/printer and cordless dual-line telephone.
The St. Regis, Los Angeles, also now offers a world-class, signature restaurant, Encore. Chef Davaillon, who brings
a wealth of experience from Michelin-rated restaurants throughout France and Great Britain, combines his passion
for food, and creative Provencal cooking with fresh produce and herbs grown locally, to create a signature menu
for Encore.
Additionally, a stylish bar, designed in the tradition of the famous King Cole Bar in The St. Regis in New York
City, offers a separate entrance and is tucked into the lobby, providing an intimate and opulent haven.
Boardrooms and function space also have been completed with the most advanced business technology available, along
with the finest in luxurious furnishings and appointments necessary for the highest-level meetings and deal making.
