Taste a St. Regis Bloody Mary, the signature cocktail of St. Regis hotels since 1934. The original Bloody Mary was made by bartender Fernand Petiot at The St. Regis New York’s King Cole Bar, who nicknamed the vodka-and-tomato juice cocktail the “Red Snapper” so as not to offend the hotel’s refined clientele. The St. Regis Washington, D.C. brings Mid-Atlantic flavors to “The Capital Mary”, incorporating signature spices traditionally used in a classic Chesapeake Bay crab feast.

Join an extraordinary presentation of Afternoon Tea at The St. Regis Washington D.C. Mrs. Caroline Astor, the mother of the founder of The St. Regis New York, established high tea in her New York City social circles. The joyful ritual soon became a long‑standing social event in the hotel, and the fine service is now hosted each weekend. The St. Regis Washington D.C. also hosts extraordinary St. Regis Midnight Supper celebrations throughout the year, inspired by Mrs. Astor’s exclusive dinner events.

Discover the bounty of the Chesapeake Bay at local Washington restaurants. Blue crabs, crab cakes, and Bay oysters are a staple of Mid Atlantic food culture and are found on menus across the region.
