THE EVENING RITUAL
Dating back to the battles of Napoleon Bonaparte, who famously opened Champagne with his saber in both victory and defeat, the art of sabrage is the signature ceremony of St. Regis.
“The” Mrs. Astor, the matriarch of St. Regis and grand dame of New York society, adapted this tradition in the early 1900s, and would gather friends and family for a Champagne toast at The St. Regis New York to mark the transition from day to evening. Today, we are proud to continue this distinct tradition at The St. Regis Washington, D.C. daily at 6.00pm in the hotel’s exquisite lobby, accompanied by a celebratory Champagne toast.

THERE IS ANOTHER WAY TO FLY.
It is flying that is an extension of what you value not an interruption of it.
Less harrowing than flying commercial.
More intimate than flying private.
IT’S FLYING PERSONAL.
And once you’ve done it, you’ll never want to fly any other way.
