The St. Regis Macao, Cotai Central has launched a partnership with PAPINEE, the storytelling company that empowers adults, educators and storytellers to take children on educational and inspiring magical adventures all around the world.

Through this collaboration, The St. Regis Macao hopes to further engage its younger guests with a new range of tailored activities, adding to the hotel's child-friendly offerings under the Family Traditions at St. Regis program.

As part of the partnership, a charming new PAPINEE character inspired by the history of St. Regis, Jak the Deer, is the focal point of the PAPINEE partnership at The St. Regis Macao. Jak – full name Jak Odocoileus V – is a friendly four-legged Deer brought up in New York City, and has been surrounded by the glamourous people at his family's headquarters at The St. Regis Hotel in New York. Jak is said to be named after John Jacob Astor IV, the wealthy New York real estate visionary who opened the original St. Regis Hotel in 1904.

Janet McNab, Managing Director of The St. Regis Macao, Cotai Central, said she was thrilled to be working in partnership with PAPINEE to offer families an exclusive family experience as part of their stay at The St. Regis Macao.

“Family Traditions at The St. Regis offers distinctive destination-inspired activities to encourage and celebrate the art of play, and our collaboration with PAPINEE gives families the opportunity to create their own imaginative stories and create lifelong memories, and we're honored to be a part of that,” Ms McNab said.

The PAPINEE Storytelling Kit sees Jak brought to life through the charming plush toy, a delightful storytelling and activity book. Keepsakes that feature Jak include a children's backpack, a coin pouch, a NYC bandana and hang tag.

To celebrate Jak and the partnership with PAPINEE, The St. Regis Macao has created a number of exclusive experiences and promotions for families, including “Stay & Play with Jak” accommodation package and a special 'Jak-inspired' Gourmet Tour Sunday Brunch with PAPINEE at the hotel's signature restaurant, The Manor.
