New York Events
One of the liveliest cities in the world, New York is known for its red-carpet parties, celebrity-studded galas and cultural festivities. Looking back at 2012, some of the most exclusive events of the year were centered at Manhattan’s best address—The St. Regis New York. For the historic hotel, 2012 was filled with grand celebrations and important milestones, from a dinner honoring founder John Jacob Astor IV to polo matches in the St. Regis tradition and visits with global dignitaries. Paying tribute to the St. Regis’ rich heritage, while also embracing modern-day values, these events made for a memorable year and set the stage for an exciting 2013.
