St. Regis Bal Harbour

This past weekend we had the pleasure of being the guests of the St. Regis Bal Harbour in South Florida. From the moment we arrived, and walked through the beautifully appointed, mirrored lobby, we immediately felt like Royalty.   Next, we were greeted with glasses of champagne and cold towels. Once we were checked in, we were escorted to our Royal Suite with sweeping views of the Atlantic Ocean. It was truly unbelievable. In all of my travels, I have never stayed in a suite so luxurious and ultra modern.

After we settled in, we were given a private tour of the property and all the event spaces. Every event space was more gorgeous than the last, from mirrored accents and stunning chandeliers, to gorgeous oceans views, every space was the epitome of modern opulence. If you are looking to give your guests the ultimate luxurious getaway, you do not need to look any further.

Our stay came to an end with a relaxing massage, like no other, at the Remède Spa, which left us rejuvenated for our trip back to NY. 

We want to thank Nancy Brenner and the entire Sales and Catering Team at the hotel for their amazing hospitality. We did not want to leave and  it was truly an experience to remember.
