In a new campaign with Tatler Asia, Fiona Fussi steps into St. Regis Hotels & Resorts—where legacy, luxury and an unapologetic spirit of celebration converge for those who know
How does one live, exquisitely? Some may describe it as coming home to a marble-strewn mansion, savouring a rare vintage wine, owning a Fernando Botero “Reclining Woman” sculpture, or receiving a tension-melting 120-minute massage with warm Himalayan salt stones. Then there are those who would characterise it more as a symphony of gestures, sometimes an art, but almost always, a series of experiences that feel just as precious as they are precise—a use of time that is intentional, graceful and entirely satisfying. All these definitions of luxury can be found, and felt, at the St. Regis Hotels & Resorts—and then some.
Above Join us as we raise a toast to “How to Live Exquisite”, a short film by Tatler Asia and St. Regis Hotels & Resorts, starring Fiona Fussi. An invitation into a world shaped by ritual, celebration, and unmistakable style.
In hospitality, luxury is no longer—or has never been, if we may say—about access or assertion, but about a certain fluency. It is in the ability to make indulgence feel inevitable rather than requested, service to be delivered with instinct, and elegance to be lived in rather than staged.
This is the space St. Regis has long inhabited—comfortably, confidently, with a quiet smile and a playful wink…just the way they like it. And for those who know, that sensibility is inherited. The Astor family, whose name remains synonymous with the brand, understood something essential about luxury that still holds true today: that refinement without revelry isn’t that much fun. Caroline Astor, in particular, mastered the art of the cultivated gathering—intimate, intentional, and influential. Her legendary soirées were not about being seen, but about being invited. A careful balance of reverence and mischief, formality and freedom.

This spirit also manifests in signature rituals—creating a comfort in knowing certain moments will arrive, precisely as they should, no matter the St. Regis property you check into. Think champagne sabred nightly, without exception, as evening gives way to night; a cocktail with a history—the Bloody Mary that was famously created at The St. Regis New York’s King Cole Bar in 1934—reinterpreted subtly with local flavours to reflect each location around the globe; and Midnight Suppers, which echo their origins as closed-door affairs where indulgence is unhurried and discretion is the highest form of luxury. Then, of course, there is the butler—trained to anticipate rather than react, applying precision and intuition behind the scenes so that guests experience complete ease.

This is the world “How to Live Exquisite” invites us into—a cinematic partnership between Tatler Asia and St. Regis Hotels & Resorts that places Fiona Fussi at its centre. Both as a curious protagonist, and as someone fluent in its fervour, Fussi experiences the House of Celebration’s pleasures at its peak—storied signatures honed over generations, and moments crafted with discipline, stealth and absolute excellence.

So to live exquisitely, ultimately, is not to accumulate more, but to expect better. In this case, it is to value service that understands you before you speak, rituals that anchor rather than perform, and experiences that leave room for pleasure, spontaneity and delight.
St. Regis has always known this. And for those who know, that makes all the difference.
