Step through the doors of Waldorf Astoria New York and you immediately enter a world of legend and style. The landmark hotel has been an icon since it re-opened on Park Avenue in 1931 as New York’s largest and tallest hotel, a beacon of Midtown glamour welcoming royalty, celebrities and every US President from Herbert Hoover to Barack Obama.

From its inception, The Waldorf Astoria was a true palace in New York City and a haven for cultural figures. Cole Porter moved in for 25 years, composing iconic tracks such as “You’re the Top” on his piano in his 33rd floor suite. Marilyn Monroe, Frank Sinatra and Elizabeth Taylor were regulars while in 1957 Queen Elizabeth II had a Royal Suite created for her stay and a gala dinner thrown in her honour.

Timeless and opulent, Waldorf Astoria has a special place in the affections of New Yorkers, Americans and international visitors alike. Its unparalleled history and elegant luxury is a constant symbol of five-star excellence, while its party-packed reputation ensures its role at the epicentre of Manhattan’s glittering social life.

Now, ninety years after it first opened, the Waldorf Astoria is preparing for the next stage in its illustrious life with an extensive facelift to offer 375 branded residences for sale alongside 375 gracious hotel rooms and suites. For the first time, buyers have the opportunity to own a part of history.
