Overlooking Park Avenue, a brief stroll from Fifth Avenue and Central Park on Manhattan’s Upper East Side, the Loews Regency New York provides a swish, classic space. With 379 guestrooms and suites, Deco-esque design details are featured throughout the recently refurbished property, from distinctive lamps to the bursts of glitter that greet guests at elevator banks.

Serene room spaces, seemingly too large for a New York hotel, display soft grays, lavenders and greens nicely set against marble surfaces on bedside tables and desks. Amenities especially suited to business travelers include a cutting-edge, 24-hour fitness center, complimentary shoe shines, WiFi, newspapers upon request, use of a hotel house car for trips within a 20-block radius, and complimentary coffee service every morning at The Regency Bar. And yes — even pets are welcome.

During my recent stay, I was delighted to find Frette linens and robes, plus Julien Farel amenities and skincare products in my room. The hotel is the location of the full-service Julien Farel Restore Salon & Spa. A selection of treatments play on the iconic Power Breakfast served at Loews Regency Bar & Grill, and include a Power Hour with three services delivered in an hour, such as the combination of mini facial, manicure and pedicure, or a trio customized to individual requests.

Experience the hotel yourself with a Stay, Shop & Spa experience, available until Dec. 31. Guests receive 25 percent discounts on shoe purchases at nearby Bloomingdales, and 15 percent off most other purchases in New York’s favorite department store — Bloomingdale’s. Loyalists also receive complimentary gift wrapping and shipping of in-store purchases, along with complimentary delivery of purchases to the hotel.

To help you relax after your retail adventure, the stay also includes a JF pedicure at Julien Farel Restore Salon & Spa, plus complimentary personal shopping and cosmetic makeover services.
