New York’s iconic Waldorf Astoria Astoria is now welcomed by a multi-billion dollar renovation several months in advance.
The hotel was originally expected to open in September and provided a sneak peak last month for TPG, which began reopening in phases on Tuesday, with the company sharing rooms and dining options with TPG. The famous property made its debut in 1893 before moving to Park Avenue in 1931.
“In many ways, Waldorf Astoria New York is the most important hotel in the world. It is the place where luxury properties and luxury services are perfected. It has a special place not only in Hilton’s history, but also in modern history,” Hilton President and CEO Chris Nassetta said in a statement with TPG. “Today, we build on the beginning of a new chapter of this iconic property. We hope to welcome guests once again to experience its timeless charm and modern enhancements as this hotel and Waldorf Astoria Properties set the standard of luxury at hotels around the world.”
When travelers arrive, they will find a total of 375 rooms and 372 Waldorf Astoria-branded residences, most of whom are located over 570 square feet. Everyone’s design is like a private apartment with leather, polished woods and a custom-made neutral tone interior. The marble bathroom has a walk-in shower, separate toilet and seasoning area.
According to the Hotel Group, rooms start at $1,500 or 150,000 Hilton Honors Points.
In addition to the rooms, Waldorf Astoria in New York will have three food and beverage venues (Brasserie Lex Yard by Chef Michael Anthony, The Peacock Lane and Japanese dining concept Yoshoku), as well as the 20,000-square-foot Guerlain Wellness Spa, which will be open for a future date.
