The tower of The St. Regis Residences, Miami standing on Biscayne Bay, its marina at its foot and the skyline of Brickell behind — artist's conceptual rendering

Since 1904 · A St. Regis House on the Bay

From Fifth Avenue to Biscayne Bay.

Born of John Jacob Astor IV's New York hotel of 1904, the house now takes the form of a tower by Robert A.M. Stern.

Fifth Avenue

New York, 1904

A House Begun on Fifth Avenue

In 1904 John Jacob Astor IV opened The St. Regis New York, a hotel the press of its day called the finest in America. Its hours followed the society of Caroline Astor: Afternoon Tea, the Midnight Supper, and a butler who anticipates before he is asked. One hundred and twenty years of ceremony stand behind the name.

For his first residential tower in South Florida, Robert A.M. Stern drew a golden-age ocean liner moored on Biscayne Bay: fifty storeys of curved decks, some 630 feet tall, with a sculpted hummingbird at the crown. It is a house of residences alone, 152 of them, with no hotel beneath — a St. Regis address kept wholly private.

Composed Within, Planted Without

Within, Rockwell Group composes the classic St. Regis code — the Drawing Room, the library, a lobby of double height — in a register of sand and coral. Without, Enzo Enea plants nearly three acres of gardens between the avenue and the bay, so that the house is reached through green before it is reached through stone.

A legacy, continued on the bay.
