We reserved a block of rooms at the St. Regis for our guests, and my husband and I also stayed there four nights, including our wedding night. Our experience was excellent from start to finish. We reserved the block very early (about a year before the wedding) and got an AMAZING rate on the rooms. We even had several in-town guests book rooms at the St. Regis to take advantage of our rate! St. Regis's meetings manager, Nina Valles, was fantastic. She was very responsive to my emails and incredibly helpful in planning everything from welcome bag drop off and delivery to pre-ordering a breakfast for my bridal party for the morning of the wedding. She asked for a photo of us before our stay so that the staff would be able to recognize us as the bride and groom, but we weren't the only ones who received stellar service throughout our stay -- our guests reported that they were treated like royalty.
The St. Regis has a great perk that awards the bride and groom a free upgrade to a suite for the night of the wedding and/or the night before, depending on how close you come to filling your room block. We ended up getting the upgrade for both nights and decided to just stay in the suite for our entire stay to avoid changing rooms -- and we could afford to do that with the amazing rate. Our suite was gorgeous and gigantic (perfect for allowing the bridal party to get ready in my room the morning of the wedding), but the "regular" rooms were the nicest hotel rooms I've ever seen, and I've stayed at all of the high-end Atlanta hotels.
When I was looking for a reception venue, I didn't think to ask the St. Regis for a quote, and after the stellar service we received just as guests, I really wish I had. Certainly if you're looking to reserve a block of rooms for your guests at one of Atlanta's top hotels, you cannot beat the St. Regis. We can't wait to stay there again!
