This April, The St. Regis Kuala Lumpur has released a new limited edition St. Regis Butler Bear series, comprising four adorable bears named Adam, Alice, Martin and Molly. Each bear is dressed in the iconic St. Regis Butler uniform to embody the signature service that the brand is known for, making a cute companion for kids or soft toy collectors to add to their homes.  

To celebrate the series, the hotel has launched Butler Bear Adam and Alice as part of its Classic Afternoon Tea at The Drawing Room. Customers will be treated to two new afternoon tea desserts inspired by the Butler Bear Series, namely Strawberry & Passion and Chocolate Sensation, as well as comforting beverages like Butler Bear’s Favourite Hot Chocolate, a variety of decadent desserts, and a free-flow of savoury canapés.

2. CELEBRATE THE SPRING HARVESTS WITH ROKU GIN

When: 3 April to 26 May 2023

Where: Penrose, Coley, Concubine, Jann KL, Bar Terumi, Rakh 

To celebrate the arrival of spring, Roku Gin has teamed up with six bars across the Klang Valley to craft a medley of cocktails concocted with Roku Gin and the freshest spring ingredients sourced in their “shun”. For the unacquainted, “shun” refers to the Japanese celebration of seasonal ingredients harvested at their peak—when they produce the most flavour. Each of the six bars will bring to life unique ingredients through their Roku Spring cocktail creations: Penrose (grapefruit), Coley (sakura), Concubine (apricot), Jann KL (kumquat), Bar Terumi (plum), and Rakh (honeydew). These cocktails will be available for a limited time only at the respective bars this spring, so drop by for a taste while you can!
