喜达屋旗下的多个酒店品牌里，瑞吉（St. Regis）无论怎么衡量都是最高端、最豪华的代表。从1904年诞生至今，虽几经波折，其风韵却不减分毫。或许这个品牌在新加坡这样的城市国家会显得有些厚重，但奥匈帝国曾经的首府伊斯坦布尔却能“镇住”这富丽堂皇却又低调典雅的纽约老牌。
Of Starwood’ s many hotels， St. Regis has always been the most high-end， luxury representatives measured against any standards. Since its birth in 1904， the charm of St. Regis has not diminished through the twists and turns. Perhaps the city-state of Singapore has made the brand seem somewhat out of place， but Istanbul， Turkey， is able to quell this magnifcent and elegant historical brand of New York.

The First Encounter
首次造访连接欧亚大陆的伊斯坦布尔，赤日炎炎，让我这个伦敦客颇觉惊喜。一路驱车，出租司机丰富的手势夹杂着蹩脚的英文无不昭示，这是一座琢磨不透的城市。的确，土耳其的历史一本书都讲不完；而伊斯坦布尔的韵味，若不是常驻此地，则根本不能参透：无所事事的年轻男子，洒脱开放的伊斯兰女性，吵吵闹闹的广场政治，还有被现代与传统撕裂的社会文化，让身处于伊斯坦布尔的外乡人丝毫摸不着头脑。
“对瑞吉酒店来说，进驻这座城市颇为重要。”土生土长的酒店市场经理萨利姆？奥美兹这样对我说。他在酒店行业已经很久，但多数时间都辗转海外：阿布扎比和圣彼得堡。旅居海外12年之后，萨利姆回归家乡。
When I frst come to the connecting place of Europe and Asia， Istanbul， its cool summer day has brought a smile to my Londoner’ s face. During my trip， I hear taxi drivers’ broken English mixed with rich body language and see seemingly idle young man， free and easy open Islamic women and the noisy plaza politics. Te society is split between modernity and tradition， all these， even the locals cannot make sense of.
"For St. Regis hotel， it is quite important to be stationed in this city，" said the marketing manager Selim Olmez， who， though a local， has worked abroad for the past 12 years in Abu Dhabiand St. Petersburg. Now Selim is home.
"纽约第五大道"
"Fifth Avenue in New York"
当出租车进入瑞吉所在地Nisantasi区时，周遭的繁华与时尚确实与纽约异曲同工。这里有纽约和伦敦的奢侈品牌，也有服务最好的精品餐馆，当然还有一股张狂的劲儿，在这座古老的城市暗流涌动。
When the taxi enters Nisantasi District， which houses the St. Regis， the bustle and fashion around are indeed similar to New York. There are not only luxury brands from New York and London， but also boutique restaurants with the best service， and of course there is also an insolent energy simmering in this ancient city.
“对我来说，伊斯坦布尔太特别了，而独一无二的瑞吉酒店更是如此”。“奥美兹解释道，"酒店地址堪比纽约第五大道，更确切地说，是纽约第五大道的55号！”
对外国人来说，这个比喻一语道破“天机”。当出租车进入瑞吉所在地Nisantasi区时，周遭的繁华与时尚确实与纽约异曲同工。这里有纽约和伦敦的奢侈品牌，也有服务最好的精品餐馆，当然还有一股张狂的劲儿，在这座古老的城市暗流涌动。
摧奥美兹介绍，伊斯坦布尔瑞吉酒店共有120间客房，今年3月开业，因此一切都是欣欣然的样子。开业之初，酒店每天晚上为住客准备“瑞吉傍晚仪式，”邀请宾客在Petitt"O"酒吧体验土耳其红酒和知名的Misty Mary鸡尾酒。 我住在标准的豪华套房，面朝麦卡公园，空间阔达，暗藏惊喜：象征古代奥斯曼帝国的挂件收藏，墙上悬挂的大幅抽象画之作。这些艺术品都来自酒店拥有者萨班其家族的收藏品。这是土耳其最古老的富人家族，近年来以收藏艺术品闻名遐迩。
酒店三楼还有都市套房，同样面朝麦卡公园。在此，住客仿佛与纽约中央公园咫尺之间两相视。事实上，当地人确实将麦卡公园称为伊斯坦布尔的纽约中央公园。
初来乍到的旅客，很少不被酒店的装饰所吸引。伊斯坦布尔酒店的瑞吉，是除纽约之外唯一一家有宾利套房的酒店，可见经营者的别具匠心。另外，只要你对土耳其艺术稍有研究，就会发现当地著名Desma收藏艺术家们的设计痕迹，这些包括酒店大堂内富丽堂皇却又尽显低调的Lasvit吊灯。
"For me， Istanbul is so special， and especially the unique St. Regis." Olmez explained， "Te hotel location is similar to the Fifh Avenue in New York， more precisely， No. 55 on New York’s Fifh Avenue."
For foreigners， this analogy gave away a "secret." When the taxi enters Nisantasi District， which houses the St. Regis， the bustle and fashion around are indeed similar to New York. Tere are not only luxury brands from New York and London， but also boutique restaurants with the best service， and of course there is also an insolent energy simmering in this ancient city.
Opening in March this year， St. Regis Istanbul and its120 rooms all look fresh. In the beginning of the opening， the hotel prepared "Te St. Regis Evening Ritual" every night for the hotel guests and invited them to enjoy Turkish wines and the famous Misty Mary cocktail in Petit "O"Bar.
I live in the standard luxury suites， facing McCarty Park. Tere are surprises hiding in the wide space， such as the symbol of the ancient Otoman pendant and a huge abstract painting hanging on the wall. Tese works of art belong to the hotel owner， Sabancifamily. Tis is Turkey’s oldest wealthy family that has become famous for their art collection in recent years.
Te St. Regis Istanbul features an exquisitely designed Bentley Suite， second in the world only to the Bentley Suite at the brand’ s fagship hotel in New York. Providing guests with the luxury， crafsmanship and style associated with both renowned international brands， the suite draws inspiration from the Bentley Continental GT modeland features hand-crafed fnishes and one-of-a-kind furnishings throughout.
Te Cosmopolitan Suites on the third foor also faces McCarthy Park， which is called the New York’s Central Park by the hotel guests. In fact， the locals indeed call Istanbul McCarty Park the New York Central Park.

A Chat Between the Intellectual Equals
正如瑞吉创始人艾斯特上校（John Jacob Astor IV）在二十世纪初所设想的那样，一间永恒的酒店，不只是供舟车劳顿之人休息，还应胜任上流社会交流之需。
伊斯坦布尔瑞吉酒店“身体力行”，酒店位置和露天吧台，渗入一种真正的都市人生活方式。自开业以来，这里迎来一众土耳其社会名流。人们的交流方式与行为举止，和欧美人如出一辙，这或许也是瑞吉的自有妙境吧。 露天酒吧是米其林二星餐厅Spago的延伸。这家餐厅由世界名厨Wolfgang Puck主理，也是Puck在美国以外的第一家店面。美式、低调、上乘，如镇山之宝，使之风头一时无两。酒店一楼还有一间更为大众化的餐厅：St. Regis Brasserie，其室内与室外装饰十分吸引人。如斯"端庄"，淡雅有加。一进门，明亮的灯光将酒店经理人收藏的美酒突显无疑，礼貌和文雅的服务生耐心介绍与推荐土耳其与法式融合菜肴。

Since its opening， the hotel has attracted countless Turkish celebrities. People communicate and behave just like the Europeans and Americans. This is perhaps the secret wonders of St. Regis.
Just as the St. Regis founder John Jacob Astor IV envisaged in the early 20th century， a timeless hotel does not simply provide a place for the travelers to rest， but also satisfes the socializing need of the upper class.
From the location to its open-air bar， St. Regis Istanbul is injected with a true urban way of life. Since its opening， the hotel has atracted countless Turkish celebrities. People communicate and behave just like the Europeans and Americans. Tis is perhaps the secret wonders of St. Regis.
Te open-air bar is an extension of the Michelin two-star restaurant Spago， a restaurant managed by world-famous chef Wolfgang Puck， and also Puck’ s frst store outside the United States. American-styled， understated and excellent， it is incomparable. On the ground foor there is a more popular restaurant： St Regis Brasserie with atractive interior and exterior decorations. Once entering the door， bright lights shine on the wine collection， while polite and gentle waiters patiently introduce and recommend Turkish-French fusion delicacies.
若到达酒店时已近午夜，那就行至Petit "O" 酒吧饮一杯小酒。酒吧在入住登记台后，取名自1934年发明“血腥玛丽”鸡尾酒的传奇美国调酒师Fernand Petiot。白天，Petit "O" Bar正式到一丝不苟，日落后则被改成一间休息室。酒吧内饰被土耳其知名画家Bedri Baykam的壁画所包围。对初来乍到伊斯坦布尔的人来说，这是了解这座城市的窗口，也是开始享受瑞吉酒店的始发站。
If you arrive at the hotel near midnight， why not head to Petit "O" Bar for a glass of wine. Te bar was named afer the Bloody Mary created by the American bartender Fernand Petiot. During the day， Petit "O" Bar is managed formally to the leter； when night falls， it becomes a resting place. For the city’ s new comers， the bar is not only a window to the beautiful city， but also a starting point for enjoying the everdelightful St. Regis.
