St. Regis Complimentary Breakfast for Two Only $162.80

Americans do have a reputation for gluttonously over-eating, but how many Americans can really eat $162.80 worth of food for breakfast – even at 5-star St. Regis luxury hotel prices?

I was looking for other Starwood Hotels special offers now that the Stay 2, Earn 1 Free Weekend night promotion is over. The highlighted link to St. Regis Offers looked promising.

“Enjoy exceptional rewards or preferred rates at the St. Regis.”  Link

St. Regis Hotels Offer: Receive complimentary daily breakfast during each stay.

I tried a couple of test bookings.

$162.80 a day for complimentary breakfast at the St. Regis New York?

 

The other day I was reading notes in a travel journal from my trip to Thailand in 2004.

 

180,000 Baht can provide a water system for a Karen hill tribe remote village in the Chiang Mai province of Thailand; US$5,300 for a village to have running, clean water. 

 

30% of Karen children who go to secondary school drop out because they can’t afford the 150 Baht/month (US$4.40/month) for food while boarding at school. 

 

The added expense of a complimentary breakfast rate at the St. Regis could feed 3 high school students for a year.

 

Choices.
