Jetgala - MAR-MAY 2023

97 Fu has thoughtfully blended the original St Regis NewYork’s stately residential atmosphere with nostalgic vestiges of Hong Kong’s history, creating a contemporary residential haven. In the rooms, art tomes and pieces on open shelves and deep soaking tubs in marble-clad bathrooms with bronze accents evoke a sense of home with floor- to-ceiling windows offering glittering city and harbour views. Butler service is just a WhatsApp message away and the staff are always happy to share their favourite foodie haunts and shops in the neighbourhood. Two Michelin-starred L’Envol offers top-notch French cuisine served as tasting menus, including the caviar-themed Prestige.The flavours and plating are refined, the service is stellar, and every meal ends with the ultimate happiness expressed in a trolley of mignardises. One Michelin-starred Cantonese restaurant Rùn is equally adept at the classics as it is with special items such as dishes made with PingYuen chicken, which is raised without hormone, steroids or antibiotic injections in the city’s northern NewTerritories.The St. Regis Bar’s signature Bloody Mary is expressed as a “Canto Mary” with a secret recipe of local spices, tangerine peel, and locally produced soy sauce while afternoon tea in the main dining area,The Drawing Room, is served on a trolley in the traditional way.
