​The journey begins either beneath Manhattan’s festive lights or along Longboat Key’s white sands. In New York, guests reside in the storied Dior Suite and savor a never-before-offered private brunch inside the iconic King Cole Bar, home of the original Bloody Mary, opened early and exclusively for the experience. In Sarasota, Florida, days unfold with La Mer facials, bespoke Vilebrequin cabanas with custom swimwear, and a Chef’s Dinner in the Presidential Suite. Wherever it begins, the experience is designed as the epitome of seasonal indulgence.

“Whether your holiday dreams involve white-sand beaches or the lights of Fifth Avenue, this package delivers both without compromise,” said Winfred van Workum, General Manager of The St. Regis Longboat Key Resort. “From a never-before-available private brunch in The King Cole Bar to custom Vilebrequin cabanas, every detail of this package speaks to the exclusivity our guests expect, and we’re excited to go beyond extraordinary this season.”

Escaping holiday crowds is effortless with a helicopter to Teterboro where guests then board a private jet transfer from New York to Sarasota. On arrival, a St. Regis Butler welcomes guests and ushers them to the Presidential Suite at The St. Regis Longboat Key Resort for four nights of unparalleled seaside luxury. Guests awaken to daily breakfast —whether savored in the serene ambiance of Riva or in the privacy of their suite—and indulge in a full day in the Spa Suite for two, complete with 90-minute massage treatments and La Mer facials. Evenings bring culinary artistry, from an intimate dinner in CW Prime’s Private Dining Room to an in-suite feast designed by the Executive Chef. The stay is enriched with a private Vilebrequin cabana styled with custom for St. Regis print Vilebrequin bathing suits, a bespoke Under-The-Sea experience led by the resort’s lagoon curator, and a Chef's Dinner in the Presidential Suite. Private transfers with the resort’s Bentley house car to and from the airport ensure every arrival and departure is effortless.

At The St. Regis New York, timeless glamour meets festive indulgence with a two-night stay in The Dior Suite, a jewel of Fifth Avenue elegance. Guests will enjoy exclusive private access to the legendary King Cole Bar for an over-the-top brunch—an exclusive opportunity only available with this package—paired with decadent holiday fare. The Curated Gilded Age Experience unfolds with a private two-hour historical tour Manhattan starting at the landmark hotel, a dramatic champagne sabrage, and a bottle of champagne enjoyed in The Drawing Room.

“There is no place quite like New York during the holidays,” said Octavia Marginean-Tahiroglu, General Manager of The St. Regis New York. “Paired with the coastal serenity of Longboat Key, this experience offers guests the ultimate dual-season celebration in two utterly unique yet equally captivating worlds.”
