Choosing the St. Regis for my高原 (plateau/high-altitude) trip meant choosing peace of mind and safety – it was a thrilling yet fortunate journey to Tibet. I stayed at the St. Regis Lhasa for 7 consecutive days during the Chinese New Year. After initially acclimatizing to the altitude, I suddenly caught a cold on the 4th day due to a health issue, which then escalated into severe altitude sickness. I experienced intense headaches and dizziness, and I was staggering when I walked. Thankfully, I was at the St. Regis. I quickly went to the medical room for oxygen and medication, then immediately returned to my room to rest. The high-quality oxygen concentrator in the room was a huge help. At the time, my companion had gone to Everest Base Camp, so I was alone, toughing it out. Although there were many tourists during the Chinese New Year, the hotel was very accommodating with my room arrangements after I communicated with them. The restaurant staff, a lovely lady (wearing a blue ******* dress with an LV crossbody bag), helped deliver meals to my room and consistently showed warm care and concern. My butler also frequently sent WeChat messages reminding me about safety precautions. The concierge manager (a ******* gentleman) also proactively looked after me, providing services and arrangements far beyond the hotel's usual scope. Despite some twists and misunderstandings along the way, it ultimately led to the best possible outcome for this Tibet trip. All in all, choosing the St. Regis for my Tibet trip was a wise decision. The reliable medical facilities and equipment, the thoughtful service, and the unique charm of Tibet that could be felt in every corner and detail of the hotel made a difference. I will definitely stay at the St. Regis again when I return to Lhasa!
