Diary – Launching of Loews Regency New York Hotel

The movers and shakers of London were out in force last week to celebrate the re-launching of the legendary Loews Regency New York Hotel in a party hosted by Jonathan and Lizzie Tisch. The hotel has been closed for a year while a $100+ million renovation took place.

The Loews Power Breakfast is renowned today as one of the most iconic dining experiences in Manhattan and, for one day only, the legendary New York Power Breakfast came to the Helene Dorroze at The Connaught. The term “Power Breakfast” was coined by the Tisch Family in 1975 and The Regency is considered to be its birthplace.

The event saw guests including Mary Katrantzou, Jo Malone, Gary Wilcox, Caryn Tomlinson, Ed Victor, Franc Roddam, Rupert Heseltine, Phillip Knatchbull, Gail Rebuck, Josh Berger, Franc Roddam, Alan Yentob, Alexander Giantsis, Nigel Newton, Kathy Lette, Lady Eve Pollard, Charles Gregson and Lord Ashcroft.
