Incredible resort, just don’t lose anything while you’re there. We stayed at the St. Regis in June with our two young kids. The pools and the amenities were very nice. We did hear a couple next to us at breakfast who found some bugs swimming in their orange juice one morning. And one day at the pool, some German tourists who were very drunk made a big scene and threw their friend into the pool - chair and all. But they handled both of those things immediately. My issue comes from the lack of a lost and found process. Within an hour of arriving, my son lost his hat down by the children’s area. Barely thinking anything of it, we were certain it would turn up at some point. We checked with the front desk a few times, walked all over looking for it, but nothing — never turned up. The REAL PROBLEM, occurred a few nights into our stay when our daughters most prized possession (and one of ours too), the blanket she’s had since birth, somehow must have gotten taken away with the sheets. I went to the concierge immediately in the middle of the night after we’d torn the room apart looking for it for my inconsolable child. They registered our request and we went to bed again thinking it had to turn up — “who would throw something like that away?” We thought. But nothing. I had to email the concierge daily to get updates. I offered a reward. I asked to be put in touch with the laundry company who handles their linens — nothing, just a “we’ll let you know if we find it” over and over again. It’s been over a month and I write this in the middle of the night thinking about all the memories we had with our daughter and her “lovie” blanket. How we’d planned on framing it one day and giving it to her as an adult. How when she gets really upset, like she did earlier today, she still begs for “lovie” wishing she had “her” to help her soothe herself. It was a mistake to take it with us on the trip, but damn if the staff at the St. Regis didn’t seem to care less about it.
