St. Regis Hotels & Resorts Celebrates American Polo from Coast to Coast

With Announcement of Inaugural St. Regis Polo Cup in Sonoma Valley

With Nacho Figueras, St. Regis will Support Robin Hood Foundation in New York and Giant Steps in California This Year

NEW YORK - July 17, 2014 - (BUSINESS WIRE) - St. Regis Hotels & Resorts, part of Starwood Hotels & Resorts Worldwide Inc. (NYSE:HOT), continues to celebrate its commitment to the international sport of polo with upcoming polo matches in Bridgehampton on the East Coast and Sonoma Valley on the West Coast. In August, Nacho Figueras will captain the St. Regis team in the third annual Piaget Hamptons Polo Cup, once again partnering with the Robin Hood Foundation in a continued effort to support New York families in need. The following month, the inaugural St. Regis Polo Cup will take place in Sonoma Valley to benefit Giant Steps Therapeutic Equestrian Center, a non-profit organization dedicated to enriching the lives of the disabled children through the extraordinary benefits of therapeutic riding. These polo matches follow on the heels of the seventh annual St. Regis International Cup in the United Kingdom, which pitted Nacho Figueras and the South America team against the England team, earlier this year.

"Polo and philanthropy are inherent to the legacy of St. Regis, and we are pleased to support these meaningful causes," said Paul James, Global Brand Leader, St. Regis, The Luxury Collection Hotels & Resorts and W Hotels Worldwide. "We look forward to offering St. Regis guests, spectators and their families the opportunity to experience this exhilarating sport, as we have done around the world from Bridgehampton to Beijing and from Abu Dhabi to Aspen."

In New York, St. Regis will bring its passion for polo to life for families at the third annual Piaget Hamptons Polo Cup with sunset polo lessons with child-size mallets, pony rides as well as a traditional Argentinean 'Asado' barbeque followed by a signature St. Regis Afternoon Tea with children's teacakes. In California, the inaugural St. Regis Polo Cup will premiere in the Bay Area promising to deliver an exhilarating day for guests, residents and the local community to experience speed, sport, food and wine.
