'The Curated Closet' is a personal shopping experience that supplies brand name, hand-selected clothes to your hotel room's closet. The St. Regis Washington hotel is known for its elaborate guest services, this closet-outfitting service no different. With stylists from Neiman Marcus, wardrobes are filled to the brim with designer labels from Monolo Blahnik shoes to Hugo Boss suits.
Before arriving to the St. Regis hotel, users of the service fill out a questionnaire that provides answers about sizing and personal style. That information is then utilized by stylists to decide what options would work best. Those articles of clothing are in the hotel room upon arrival and users have three days to choose whether they would like to purchase any of the pieces. While there is no minimum requirement, there is also no tolerance of simply "borrowing" these designer threads.
