A Short Story About St. Regis Bal Harbour

When the wealthy businessman John Jacob Astor IV built the iconic French-style St. Regis Hotel in New York City as a companion to the Waldorf Astoria in 1904, he further defined the archetype of a modern luxury hotel. After Astor's son inherited the hotel when his father died in the sinking of the Titanic, he sold the property and it changed hands several times over the last century. When Starwood Hotels finally acquired St. Regis in the late 90s, they used the name to launch the luxury St. Regis brand in hotels and resorts in a wide array of landscapes around the world.
