This year marks the 75th anniversary of the invention of the Bloody Mary in the King Cole Bar at The St. Regis New York, so the luxury hotel brand-- always known to love a good party-- is celebrating the cocktail with a series of special offerings available at St. Regis hotels and resorts around the world. Think Bloody Mary Inspired Menus and Spa Treatments, like the skin purifying Vodka Tomato Clay Wrap and invigorating Tomato Vermouth and Mineral Salt bath at the St. Regis Bali.* Even New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg got in on the action-- issuing an official proclamation that October 5th is Bloody Mary Day in New York. Yesterday Starwood CEO Frits van Paasschen rang the closing bell of the New York Stock Exchange to end the work day and kick off the anniversary bash.

*Five Star Alliance is currently running a giveaway promotion at the luxurious resort. Don't miss out!
