You’ll experience their special brand of relaxed sophistication when their bellman greets you with a friendly smile and their concierge calls you by name. This polished and family friendly Hotel is a perfect choice for your temporary home away from home!

 

Loews Regency New York Hotel has defined Park Avenue hospitality from the moment it opened in 1963. Built by Robert “Bob” and Lawrence “Larry” Tisch, Loews Regency New York Hotel is one of the New York City is most iconic hotels and only luxury hotel on Park Avenue north of 42nd Street.

 

Bob and Larry Tisch were born in Bensonhurst, Brooklyn, in the 1920’s, the children of Russian immigrants. Their father, Al Tisch, worked as a clothing manufacturer in 1935 when he and his wife, Sayde, purchased two boys camps, Lincoln and Laurel, in the Kittatinny Mountains of Blairstown, New Jersey. Bob and Larry would help their parents set up camp every year, starting a family tradition of working together. When the Tisch’s built a 32-guesthouse for campers, families and friends, Bob and Larry got their first taste of the hotel business. Al and Sayde Tisch imparted family values of hard work, respect and social responsibility to their sons, which remain the hallmark of Loews Hotels & Co today.

 

After earning degrees from New York University’s School of Commerce and Wharton School of Business Larry purchased Laurel-in-the-Pines, a winter resort in Lakewood, New Jersey, and Bob joined him two years later after graduating from the University of Michigan. Both Al and Sayde instilled in their sons a sense of responsibility to the community, and in the off-season, Laurel-in-the-Pines became a camp for disadvantaged children.
