This Chinese New Year, The St. Regis Kuala Lumpur ushers in the Year of the Horse with Masterstrokes of the Stallion 马寿泰康, a celebration that blends tradition, artistry and the house’s storied heritage. At The St. Regis Kuala Lumpur, the horse is not merely an ornament, it is a code.
An enduring emblem of strength, elegance, and disciplined power, it reflects a lineage shaped by the House of Astor. More than a festive symbol, the horse embodies values deeply rooted in the legacy of a family that defined refinement through restraint and mastery.
House of Fortune
From 16th January to 24th February 2026, the House of Fortune showcases a curated selection of festive gifts designed to honour the spirit of generosity. Traditional favourites such as Nian Gao, premium Da Hong Pao tea, artisanal sauces and handcrafted cookies form the foundation of the collection, reflecting time-honoured customs.
Led by Executive Pastry Chef Azizul Bistaman, the pastry team elevates these offerings with Botero Horse–inspired creations. Highlights include the Botero Horse Chocolate Coin Bank, modernised Fortune Cookies and a trio of Fortune Chocolate Bars featuring inventive flavour pairings. These delicacies are available individually or presented in the hotel’s iconic travel-inspired trunks, making them ideal for festive and corporate gifting.
Prosperity Yee Sang
Available from 16th January to 3rd March 2026, the Prosperity Yee Sang invites guests to begin the year with an auspicious toss.

Featuring freshly sliced fruits and vegetables, complemented by nuts, seeds and a signature sauce, the Yee Sang offers a balanced and nutritious base. Guests may elevate the experience with premium additions such as Abalone & Jellyfish, Salmon & Jellyfish, Smoked Duck Breast & Jellyfish, or a Vegetarian Mixed Nuts option, each promising abundance and prosperity from RM218+ per set.
