In the know

Our favourite rooms

Rooms here – tricked out with art and finished in zebra wood and leather – are among the city's largest; there are even LCD TVs in the bathrooms. The higher you go, the better the views: superior rooms are on floors 5–8; Deluxe rooms are on floors 6–18. Executive Premier corner rooms have views of the museum and the bay. Metropolitan Suites are lovely – 1408 overlooks the Yerba Buena gardens and you can have a bath with a glorious city view. St Regis Suites are corner sites on the 19th and 20th floors with commanding vistas of the Financial District and Bay Bridge; there are six-seater dining tables, enormous beds facing giant windows, and vast bathrooms with limestone wet rooms. If one of the luxurious suites is beyond your budget, try to book a room on the same floor as the spa – they have the highest ceilings.

Packing tips

Cute flatties for jumping on and off trams in sprightly fashion and for negotiating those famously steep streets.

Also

The butler can help you unpack and press anything crumpled, and is on hand to make reservations at the spa and restaurants for you. There's also a house Bentley – book it for a glamorous drive around town.

Food & drink

Hotel restaurant

Ame is in the Williams Building lobby and serves New American cuisine with an emphasis on seafood - the sashimi bar is excellent. Take breakfast in the light and airy Vitrine brasserie, or alfresco on the Yerba Buena Terrace.

Dress code

City chic – this is one of the best restaurants in town, so you should dress accordingly.

Top table

Go for a table at the back by the windows and watch the world go by.

Last orders

Lunch, 2pm; dinner, 10pm; drinks, 1am.

Room service

Hotel bar

The dramatic and sexy bar is classic American club style with a hefty helping of streetwise pizzazz. Need a hangover cure? The NY St Regis invented the Bloody Mary, so you've a good reason to be in here as early as you like, curing a sore head.
