St Regis London hotel draws design from Lee Alexander McQueen's fashion legacy
London's first St Regis opens early 2027. It displays 1,100 artworks from Sarabande, the fashion foundation established by Lee Alexander McQueen.
The St Regis London will open in early 2027 in Mayfair. The opening brings the brand's history back to its roots.
The brand was founded in 1904 by John Jacob Astor IV. The brand's story begins with his mother, a major New York society figure.
The hotel's interiors draw from Savile Row craftsmanship and Bond Street fashion heritage. A partnership with Sarabande makes this possible.
Sarabande is the charitable foundation established in 2007 by Lee Alexander McQueen. The foundation has chosen over 1,100 artworks by more than 60 artists for the 193-room hotel.
The works appear in guest rooms and public spaces. Contributions include new commissions and works from Sarabande graduates and emerging artists.
The penthouse features a 150-square-metre private terrace with panoramic London views. Chef Daniel Rose will lead the French brasserie, Le Perroquet, bringing expertise from his restaurants in Paris and New York.
