The St. Regis DC’s Presidential Suite
We were recently invited to a small event at the St. Regis hotel in downtown Washington DC. The hotel unveiled their new wedding packages (which are quite spectacular) and wanted to share the news with some select wedding planners. We were delighted to attend and see what the buzz was about!
The St. Regis completed an extensive renovation in 2008 after about a year of being closed. The beautiful Presidential Suite was the venue for our gathering and it blew us all away. This suite is gorgeous! I was so impressed with the amazing decor and sheer size of it….this room has it all. At 2500+ square feet, it’s definitely the largest and most decadent hotel suite I’ve ever been in. Check out the St. Regis website to see more photos of the suite!

Walking into the Presidential Suite, this beautiful table (with a HUGE orchid) displayed some of the in-house linens the St. Regis offers for weddings. This is just the foyer. The bedroom is through that door in the corner and the living area is towards the left. I love the Orient-inspired wallpaper:
Now we’re in the living area! The coffee table had a wonderful display of dried fruits. I love the way they’re placed — very casually but still formal enough for the St. Regis. Check out that floral centerpiece! Nick at Multiflor creates all the in-house designs at the hotel and does a phenomenal job:
I’ve never seen champagne displayed this way but thought it was rather elegant. The disadvantage was that you could never put your drink down! At least the staff was 110% attentive and didn’t let you hold an empty glass for very long:
Just a small example of the amazing food they were passing. These are lamb chops on the bone. MMM! They were delicious but made it quite impossible to look dainty while eating:
It turns out that the St. Regis is surprisingly trendy in their food presentation! Look at these whimsical ice cream pops they brought out:
They were so tasty! It was something really unexpected and totally fun. Everyone had to have one and it was the perfect end to a wonderfully creative event.
