The Waldorf Astoria Hotel

As one of the first "grand hotels", The Waldorf Astoria Hotel is synonymous with the elegance and grandeur of the best of New York City. The Waldorf Astoria has been world renowned for over a century. A member of the National Trust Historic Hotels of America, and an official New York City landmark since 1993, the Art Deco property occupies an entire city block of prime, mid-town Manhattan real estate. Recent renovations totaling $400 million have renewed the splendor that has long made The Waldorf Astoria an international icon.

Affiliation

In 1932 Conrad N. Hilton wrote "The Greatest of Them All" onto a photograph of The Waldorf Astoria in New York City. It was his dream to own this hotel and include it in his prestigious collection of hotels. In 1949 he realized his dream and extended his version of "the light and warmth of hospitality" to the legendary New York landmark. Today, the hotel is the inspiration for the distinctive hotels of The Waldorf Astoria Collection, the new Hilton luxury brand established in 2006, to which the original Waldorf Astoria is affiliated.

Accommodations

Today, The Waldorf Astoria and The Waldorf Towers, the boutique hotel occupying 27th to 42nd floors of The Waldorf Astoria, offer a total of 1,416 guest rooms, including 303 suites, all featuring original Art Deco motifs. Each room is decorated differently; no two are exactly alike.

Four distinctive restaurants, three lounges, and of course, 24-hour room service offer an array of distinctive cuisine.
