The St. Regis Venice debuted its first House of Celebration event commemorating the inauguration of Venice’s Architectural Biennale 2023. For the occasion, the hotel partnered with Italian fashion house Dolce&Gabbana to create a tailored concept for a spirited, Mediterranean-themed cocktail party, which also served as the official launch of the hotel’s Regina Terrace as an exclusive, canal-side venue for celebrations.
Specially for the affair, the rooftop was dotted with exquisitely curated pieces from the Dolce&Gabanna CasaCollection and the iconic Sicilian decor. The evening highlighted St Regis brand’s signature traditions exquisitely combined with the characteristic style of the Dolce&Gabbana brand, embarking guests into an authentic Italian journey. The event featured a special live jazz performance by the hotel’s resident musician Marco Schwaiger and the contemporary music intervention of DJ Giulio Diamante.
Executive Chef Giuseppe Ricci designed a bespoke Mediterranean menu, while the cocktail experience included event-specific drinks such as St Germain Spritz inspired by Drink Sartoria served in the DG Martini® in Milan, and the Pink Spritz – one of the signature drinks served at The St. Regis Bar.
The House of Celebration concept first debuted at The St. Regis New York in 2022 to offer an experience tailored to each hotel and resort. Throughout 2023, The House of Celebration will continue to define special occasions across all cultures and seasons at St. Regis hotels and resorts globally with bespoke programming to highlight key holidays, personal milestones, and professional achievements.
Whether guests are enjoying the holidays at one of St. Regis’s resort destinations or hosting a holiday party in one of its hotels’ signature spaces, St. Regis remains the consummate host for every celebration. At St. Regis, The House of Celebration is always open.
