The St. Regis in Washington, D.C., closed since September 2006 for a top-to-bottom renovation, will start accepting reservations today (Wednesday 11/7] for bookings February 1 and beyond. Guests can expect modernized amenities, an updated but traditional look as well as larger rooms. The hotel went from 193 rooms to 175 while building an addition. Before next year is out, the hotel will open a new restaurant and a spa.

Located two blocks north of the White House, The St. Regis has long been one of D.C.'s top luxury hotels. The $150,000- per-room re-do was designed by the New York-based firm Sills and Huniford, which, in addition to decorating for celebrites ranging from Tina Turner to Anna Wintour, redecorated the The St. Regis New York several years ago.

Published rates start at $795 per night for a superior room. Suites start at $1,495. The Presidential Suite will set you back $10,000 per night. The hotel aims to open the restaurant by next spring. As for the spa, the hotel's first, the time frame there is a summer of 2008 launch. To add more space, the hotel purchased an adjacent one-story flower shop and built up eight floors. The spa will take up three stories, with the remaining five being used as suite space.

To book, call 202-638-2626 or 877-787-3447.
