St. Regis the Hospitality Partner of Piaget World Snow Polo Championship

St. Regis is the official hospitality partner of The Piaget World Snow Polo Championship, hosted by the Aspen Valley Polo Club.

Celebrated polo player and St. Regis Connoisseur Nacho Figueras will captain the St. Regis polo team against Audi and Piaget teams on 19 and 20 December at the snow-packed Wagner Park, across from The St. Regis Aspen Resort.

The Piaget World Snow Polo Championship follows on the heels of spirited polo matches and marquee events hosted by the St. Regis brand in the United States, the United Kingdom, Mexico, Bangkok, Beijing and Abu Dhabi.

“Polo is an innate part of the St. Regis legacy, and it is exciting to see how this social tradition manifests in Aspen among a new generation of global travelers and their families,” said Paul James, Global Brand Leader for St. Regis Hotels & Resorts. “We are delighted to have Nacho Figueras captaining the St. Regis team for the first time here in Aspen; it is sure to be a thrilling day.”

The St. Regis Aspen Resort will bring a taste of the brand’s signature style to polo for its guests, residents and the local community, who will be invited to experience a day of world-class polo from inside the VIP hospitality tent with such signature brand rituals as the St. Regis Bloody Mary cocktail and St. Regis Afternoon Tea service.

The event will be the final stop on the 2013 calendar for the World Polo Tour, where top ranked players from around the globe will earn valuable points towards the final world rankings.

Following the polo tournament, guests will be invited to the unveiling of the hotel’s new mural, “Strong Wind: The Myth of the Aspen Trees”, by renowned contemporary artist Bo Bartlett, who was commissioned to create a vibrant and whimsical mural as the focal point for the bar and lounge. The new mural will be the centerpiece of Shadow Mountain Lounge and a cornerstone to the comprehensive redesign of The St. Regis Aspen Resort completed earlier this year by award-winning designer Lauren Rotett.
