St. Regis Hotels & Resorts, part of Starwood Hotels & Resorts, is continuing its close association with the sport of polo.
A St. Regis team this month played a match at Pink Polo (supporting breast cancer) at The Ghantoot Racing & Polo Club in Abu Dhabi.
In Thailand this weekend (November 17) the St. Regis Ladies’ team will participate in the Queen Sirikit St. Regis Pink Polo match in Pattaya.
Last month the St. Regis USA Team played at the Royal Salute Gold Cup 2012 China Open polo tournament, marking the brand’s first foray into polo in China.
St. Regis returned to the Singapore Polo Club in September this year as the official hotel sponsor for the Singapore Open.
"St. Regis has become a leader in the world of polo, and it is exciting to see our programming expand to Abu Dhabi and China, two regions of significant growth for the brand," said Paul James, global brand leader for St. Regis Hotels & Resorts.
St. Regis has had a long association with the world of polo, beginning at the turn of the 20th century when polo matches on Manhattan’s Governors Island were the highlight of the New York social calendar.
St. Regis’ founding family, the Astors, were patrons of the sport.
