Suite Dreams

After many years of sartorial woes, including being overshadowed by flashier fashion houses, and bit of a nasty business with John Galliano earlier this year, the legendary House of Dior is finally showing signs of an elegant comeback. One of these signs is this: the glamorous new Dior Suite at the St Regis hotel in New York.

Designed in collaboration with Dior, the 1700-square feet space features spectacular views of 5th Avenue and Central Park, and a decor based on the Dior atelier in Paris – right down to French-style mouldings and a pale dove-grey colour scheme (St Regis calls it  “whispering gray”). There are also framed sketches of Christian Dior’s designs. Yours for the Dioresque price of $8500 a night.
