I stayed here four times in my life, and I always feel like a princess. My mum uses hotel points for this-- we could never actually afford it otherwise. Once, they bumped us up to an executive suite for free for a week, and they treated us like royalty. The rooms are elegant and beautiful and old fashioned, and the food is amazing. Afternoon tea is wonderful, and the room service, though pricey, is incredible. They will make anything you want. Anything. I asked for broccoli with cheese late one night and I was expecting just that-- but it was an actual sauce, so tasty, and not even on the menu. The concierge is helpful with booking Broadway plays, although I lived in New York for years and prefer getting deals on plays. If you want good seats the night of the show, though, and are prepared to pay, the concierge at this hotel will have them for you without question. If you can afford this place, I highly recommend it. I've never had a more enjoyable hotel experience in my life!
I have stayed, on different occasions, at the different best hotels in New York. I had never stayed, however, at the Waldorf Astoria. We went just after the hurricane Sandy hit NY. As we all know, this is a hotel built quite some years ago, but it has been kept up and looks perfect. The service was impeccable, and staff very attentive. Our room was very nice and comfortable. A mal-functioning heating was immediately replaced by an electric heater. And because of the "hardship" they gave me a hundred bucks on checking out. Now, that is caring for your customer!The Waldorf Astoria has always some kind of promotion or another, so even though the list prices or name would scare some people away, look it up!
just returned from 4 nights stay in the Waldorf Astoria, Manhattan and have to say I think the hotel is stingy beyond words for charging me (customers) $18.95 per day to have wireless access in rooms. We were paying $300 per night to stay and I think this is a very poor sign of customer service and downright money grabbing. The hotel itself is as would be expected superb from the level of room fittings, to service and food. We dined once in the restaurant where food was excellent, though the filet steaks were a little on the small side and service slow. There appears to be a small number of staff for the size of restaurant. At $288 for a three cours meal for two with no alcohol it is not cheap!! Had probably the best pizza ever via room service - the base was to die for!!All in all a very happy customer but come on Waldorf - this is 2012 - drop your charges for wireless.
Went to new York for 4 day shopping trip decided to go in style and get junior suite at waldorf when we arrived no junior suite available so they upgraded us to a suite were gobsmacked at how fab it was felt like royalty 2 bathrooms separate living room fantastic. Found prices to drink or eat in hotel pretty outrageous so be warned bring a big fat wallet with u but if u want to make a spurge then this is the place ate in the pull and bear restaurant there one nite even though expensive fab. Loved this hotel old world charm step into 1930s in great location saw on trip advisor some people slating it and they said not 5 star well stayed in loads of 5 star and this definitely up there maybe only thing it falls down in is service if anyone wants to experience the best 5 star service there is go to Killarney park hotel Ireland
This was my second time staying at the Waldorf and it was yet another great experience. The location is within walking distance for most attractions and if not it is only a short cab drive away. I also like that it is located within mid-town but without all the craziness of Times Square. The room had double beds, which were super comfy, very clean, quiet, and actually quite a nice size. Everyone I met that worked there was very nice and helpful and I liked that you have to use your room card at night in the elevator.Went to see the classic Lion King, which was amazing, along with checking out The Met (art museum not opera house), and the library for their Percy Shelly exhibit. Also checked out Steve Cohen's magic show at the Waldorf Towers. This is a definitel must see NYC show! One of my new favorite steakhouses in NYC is BLT - DELISH! The Boathouse in Central Park was great too, especially since it was perfect weather to sit outside.
I stayed here in a King Suite, which consisted of a bedroom, bathroom and living room. The rooms were quite large and were very nicely decorated. The hotel is full of history and photographs of famous figures visiting the Waldorf adorn all of the corridors. The lobby is magnificent, as is the Park Avenue entrance.The food and drinks at the Waldorf are not cheap, but the cuisine is excellent. I recommend splashing out for at least one dinner in the Bull and Bear. Our meal there was incredible. Oscar's serves an excellent and extensive breakfast buffet, with very friendly waiters.This was my third stay at the Waldorf this year. Each visit has been superb and I definitely consider this to be my home from home in New York.
Lots of bad reviews on here but I enjoyed it very much. The suite (in the Towers) was very comfortable and I slept marvelously. There was no sense of it being "tired" as some people have stated and we had a brilliant view of the Chrysler building. The only thing that I found slightly disappointing was the welcome on arrival. My flight arrived later than my friend's who had already checked-in but even though both our names were on the booking, the receptionist wouldn't give me the room number and told me to go to a house phone and call the room. It just seemed a little rude and it would have been nicer had he just called her for me.
Stayed here two years ago and had a few credit card issues. Cant fault the hotel though. We stayed in suite 11R. What an amazing room. Looked out on corner of Park and 50th. Amazing old elegance. Heavy drapes, open fireplace, the most comfortable bed I have ever slept in. Hotel is going through some reservations at present. Was a little disappointed to see the large chandelier has been replaced with more Art Deco lighting which I'm told is part of the restoration of the hotel bringing it back to its former glory. All said it was an amazing stay and can't fault anything. I hope I'm lucky enought to return again someday. Wouldn't stay in any other hotel in NYC. it's just perfectly situated!
Our stay at the Astoria was part of a special birthday visit with our two children - 10 and under. Room was lovely, bathroom clean and the shower great. Service was fantastic and everyone was really helpful. We were there during Hurricane Sandy and although they ended up a bit short staffed the only thing they reduced was room service on one day when you had to request maid service if you wanted it. They laid on additional tours of the hotel for those of us who were stuck in as the storm came in. We wouldn't have done something like that normally but it was great and we got to see bits of the hotel we wouldn't have done otherwise and really learn about the amazing history of the place. Would recommend the hotel, the tour (I think they do them to a lesser degree normally) and simply the experience of staying in this famous location.
Had an amazing experience at the WA. Guest service was excellent from all staff, genuine friendliness from George who we met in the lobby area and saw a few times during our stay. Barbara led our hotel tour and what a great lady she was, made us feel at home while sharing the incredible history of the hotel. Our room was clean, spacious and luxurious. The beds were the best we have slept in at a hotel, bathroom was marble with nice amenities and lovely scented soaps. We dined at Oscars which had an excellent quality buffet and delicious desserts, loved the red velvet cake! We were so fortunate to stay a the Waldorf for a special 60th birthday trip and we would return in a heartbeat if the opportunity arises. The location is idea for seeing all the major sights of NYC.
I love the Waldorf as it is by far the most grand hotel in all of NYC. From the moment you walk in you are greated by the breath taking lobby. My first stay I had a suite which had two double beds in the bedroom and a huge flat screen tv; a living room with a huge flat screen tv and a huge bathroom. It was my birthday so I was greeted with a bottle of champaign. My most recent stay this past June I stayed in a large room with a large bathroom and good closet space. My room also had a great view of Park Ave. The rooms are a good size are very clean and the beds are very comfy. I truly love the old world feel this hotel has. I would recomend this hotel to everyone. The staff is great. George the bellhop is very kind and will answer all your questions the best he can. Also Peacock Alley in the lobby serves great burger slidders and fries (however it is on the pricey side but it is the Waldorf after all).
We recently spent a night at the Waldorf Astoria, all I can say is WOW! we got one of our rooms early in the morning, so we had the continental breakfast on the 26th floor. This was no ordinary breakfast, there was bottled water Voss, omg, I could not believe it. There was fresh deli meats Ham and Turkey. Lox, all types of teas and more. Our room was great, we stayed in the Towers, when you stepped off the elevator it was as if you had stepped into Buckingham Palace. The bed, oh the bed, when I fnally got to bed I swear the comforters welcomed me and enclosed me in their warmth. It was like I was floating, I slept like a baby. The staff was very nice and I enjoyed the Piano player Saturday night in the Lobby. I would love to go back again..There was a group of 20 we had a great time.
The Waldorf Astoria is old school at it's best - the glamorous interiors thrill you on entering, the staff the most friendly I have ever encountered in a Manhattan hotel, the room spacious and luxurious. Everybody, and everything we encountered during our 4 night stay was beyond my expectations - even to the point of being offered an umbrella one morning on our way out, as "it may rain later". Champagne in the Peacock Ally is a must - to people watch, take in the beautiful decor, and simply enjoy a moment listening to the pianist play Cole Porter whilst New Yorks finest head out for the evening ...... The renovations do take a little away from the exterior, but once inside you are in a magical place where nothing seems to be too much trouble ....... the Waldorf Astoria cocoons you in a world where everything is just fine!
Travelled on the 9th December 2012. 3rd trip to New York and 2nd time to the Waldorf.Had a little hick up upon check in but finally got our junior suite we had booked (very busy).2 full bathrooms, bedroom separated by a proper door and sofa bed in a massive living area.Some may say the decor is shabby but you have to remember this hotel is never empty and considering the age of the hotel I was presently surprised how elegent, clean and comfortable the room was. A few marks here and there on the walls I would accept.We have previously stayed here in a superior guest room and found this also a stunning elegant room.The only slight down side is the lighting, 3 lamps only I feel is insufficient for the size of the room.Perfect position, fantastic views - just stunning.I will definitely be back.
My son and I stayed at the Waldorf Astoria from the 30 August until 4 September 2012 and we could not have asked for a better hotel to stay. And the weather was brilliant too.....Everything was perfect. We had a problem with a leak and damaged cameras...but the staff promptly moved our room and paid for all the damages.My sister had stayed here for her 30th and I thought I'd do the same for my 50th. From the time we arrived we were treated like important guests. The breakfast is pricey in the actually hotel, so we found one just across the road, an all day breakfast place....the people in there were so nice and so was the food,In fact the whole experience of being in New York will never be forgotten, it has left us with nothing but brilliant memories.Thank you to all the staff for making that happen :)
We had a group of 6 people who were supposed to spend a week in NYC, but at the last minute, we had to cancel one reservation for 3 people. The Waldorf staff was extremely accommodating with the cancellation. Three of us continued on with our trip and checked into the Waldorf. The location was great and the concierge suggested a fantastic restaurant around the corner from the hotel. We did have one challenge, which was resolved well above our expectations. The hotel had a flood which affected our room. The hotel staff moved us from the Waldorf to the Waldorf Towers. We felt that the staff and management truly understood the impact the flood had on us and took very good care of us during the remainder of our trip. I'm sure we would have still be very happy in the Waldorf, but I'm pretty sure when I return to NYC, I'd want to stay in the Towers again.
We booked into the Waldorf Astoria as part of our silver wedding trip in 2005. Everything about our stay was fantastic, even more so when we were given the Presidential Suite as we were Hilton Honors Diamond members. The front desk was very helpful but unfortunately we did not get our usual access to the Executive Lounge.We also stayed in the Waldorf Astoria Towers which is above the hotel, that experience was sadly lacking, we paid for the romance package of $550 approx per night, but it didnt arrive until we went to bed.The suite we were given was also in great need of refurbishment ,the bathroom had mould and broken tiles, with the wallpaper peeling. The decor looked as though someone had went to a second hand shop and just picked up bits of odd furniture. Not what you expect especially from a hotel of this standard.The only down side for us was the breakfast , more like scramble to get it and the quality was not very good, maybe just a bad few days we were there.
Great location in Midtown.The Hotel was everything what we expected, Hotel lounge was even more than expectation, what a feeling entertained with live music played with Cole Porters piano, extra vibes for Pianist and us, with same time fantastic cocktails.We stayed at seven nights and legendary service as well as the staff were all very lovely, the queue at reception to check in and out were very quick. Concierges gave us good tips for very best and different jazz clubs, etc. The room was comfortable and spacious enough for us, the bed were comfortable too with very best pillows, the wardrobe has room for luggage and the bathroom was lovely, powerful shower and plenty of room, in the mornings was newspaper at our door. The air conditioning was adjustable.We stayed in the Hotel in July, the front of the hotel was undergoing renovations, so we used mostly the Lexington entrance which was also closer to several subway lines.Value for money, we would definitely recommend this hotel for couples
I stayed at the Waldorf Astoria on the evening of September 4th, 2012. Delays into LaGuardia Airport caused me to arrive well after the check-in time of 3pm. I arrived at the front desk at 11:30pm and was told that the king bed room that I had reserved was no longer available. To compensate, I was upgraded to a luxury room with two queen beds, a sitting room and a beautiful art deco bath. Double the square footage to boot! What a treat after a long day of travel. This is my 4th time staying at the Waldorf and each time I am reminded of what a great value it is for the service and the location in Mid-Town. Great lobby bar/restaurant as well. Thanks to Andrew from Deleware who gave my husband and me great tips on where to eat. All in all, a terrific stay!
We stayed at the Waldorf for a long Weekend & what a great choice we made! As you enter the building you can't help but be blown away by the size & opulence of the Reception & lobby area. When we went to our rooms the corridors were so wide you could drive a car down them. Our room was stylish & spacious & just what you need after "shop til you drop" days. The breakfast was beautiful with lots of choice & you should really go for the Sunday Brunch which is served at the restaurant in the Lobby from 10 until 2-30 & is $98 per adult. Everywhere you go in the Hotel you feel the History but without it looking dated. every US President has stayed here since Herbert Hoover. Everything about the hotel is amazing including the location. We think you will love it!
Stayed here July 6th for 3 nights and was kind of expecting to be a little disappointed as was expecting so much from this icon of New York. I was NOT disappointed at all, walked in and my mouth dropped but the sheer beauty of this place, yes there are more opulent rooms with more modern decor in other hotels but if that is what you want then I suggest you book one of those hotels. If you want to immerse yourself in old world glamour and style then you will not be disappointed by it. Just around the corner is a lovely bar at St Bart's which is relaxing and food is lovely. Waldorf is a great central location to get to the sights and I would recommend this hotel as an ideal base.
This was the second time staying at the Waldorf and I wasn't disappointed on my return visit. First class room, superb building and friendly helpful staff.We didn't eat in the restaurants but ordered room service which was really good, although a little slow in arriving (1.5hrs wait but we were told about this before we ordered). The sheer opulence of this hotel is enough to take your breath away. We had interconnecting rooms on the 6th floor and it was more like a two bed room suite with dressing rooms and amazing bathrooms, I could go on and on about the great rooms. Our rooms over-looked Park Ave and although you could hear the traffic, the doorman's whistle and never-ending horns it just added to the vibe of NYC for us.Great stay in a great city, thanks for the memories.
Just spent a week at the Waldorf Astoria on our first visit to New York City. The hotel is absolutely fabulous and as we were celebrating our Silver Wedding Anniversary we were happy to push the boat out. Restaurants and bars in the hotel are expensive but there are plenty of others in the locality and we were happy to go out to eat. The reception area is just as I imagined it would be. Our room was a bit tired but had everything we needed for our stay and we had a great view over Lexington Avenue. Scaffolding on the exterior meant the main entrance was closed but this was never a problem as there were entrances on all the other streets. A great location for visiting all the sites and easy walking distance to Times Square. All in all a fabulous trip and would have no hesitation in recommending this fabulous hotel.
I stayed at the Waldorf with my family for 6 nights recently and thoroughly enjoyed the comfortable lodgings, great service and historic atmosphere. While the hotel is undergoing a face-lift at the moment, the staff went out of their way to make our stay comfortable and convenient. Speaking of convenient, the location can't be beat...it's close to just about everything, or within a short walk to the subway and Grand Central Station. The beds are comfortable, and the rooms are large and clean. However, the thing that stood out for me was the service...from Eric at the door, who welcomed us and helped us find our way, to Shioban (sorry if I misspelled it!) at the reception desk, who was cheerful and efficient. Room service, albeit pricey (what's not in NYC?), was rapid and the choice and quality of the meals good.I would definitely stay here again.
When I booked this trip for my 14-year-old daughter and myself, I looked into competitively priced hotels. When I saw that the Waldorf Astoria was consistent with and even better than moderately-priced hotels, I didn't hesitate in booking it -- I wanted to brag that I stayed at The Waldorf! We were not disappointed -- upon check-in (we were a little early), they didn't have any of the queen bed rooms we we reserved, so they upgraded us to a king. My husband and I stayed in NY when we were younger and on a more limited budget and had a room we couldn't both walk in at the same time -- this room was fabulous -- the bathroom excellent. We didn't splurge on any of the restaurants on site -- they looked very fancy for a teenager and I, but the location was very close to everything we wanted to see: Rockefeller Center was a short walk, not to mention great shopping, Times Square, etc. Very pleased with our stay and the staff was excellent!
Just left a stay at Waldorf and must say I was impressed with the quality of service by the entire staff. I was greeted quickly at reception, received friendly assistance from housekeeping and bellman. Concierge did an excellent job of making recommendation for dinner. The service felt personal and professional. Also, I left my glasses in my room and remembered as I was leaving for a meeting. Within 5 minutes, the security officer, Sam, called on my mobile having retrieved them. They were waiting for me when I returned. Just a really impressive job by the entire staff, and I'm a frequent traveler. I'll definitely be back. Oh- rooms were spacious; towels were not over laundered and bed was very comfortable.
The Waldorf Astoria holds a very special place in my heart. Perhaps its grandeur needs a to be polish somewhat recently; nevertheless, the history it holds can go beyond limits. It is New York. In my book, The Waldorf, is simply a "New York Landmark". I remember staying in a very nice suite and loved the "Art Deco" look of black and white floor tiles and style of the bathroom and elegant suite; as if I had travelled back in time. It has that "Classic and Elegant style"; Cole Porter music playing in the lobby and what a grand entrance!, Manhattan luxury hotel indeed. We enjoyed a charming dinner at the Peacock Alley; a break at Bull and Bear Bar and at Sir Harry's. I will always recommend to experience the atmosphere of this wonderful and timeless hotel in Manhattan for its history and charm.
My fiance and I stayed at the Waldorf Astoria for 4 nights at the end of july and it was without a doubt the most beautiful hotel we've ever stayed in. The location is great, walking distance to everything. The staff is very friendly and the room service is impeccable. If I could give it more than a five star I would. The lobby is beautiful as well as very secure, you need your hotel key to have access to the elevators after 6 p.m. which I found comforting. Everybody in this hotel is friendly. It is a pure joy and makes New York an even better city ! Will definitely be staying here again on our next trip. Worth every penny.
The hotel is magnificent, very elegant and old style, it reminded me of those old movies with Audrey Hepburn. For me, this is the esscence of New York.The room was big and the decor is old style, bathroom was very good.What i liked the best is the location, walking distance to everything, and on a saturday, the street next to the hotel was closed off to traffic and made into a bazaar, which by itself was a lot of fun.It is a stop for the tours, so i bought bus tour tickets and it would drop me right in front of the hotel, so i never had to take a cab.Room service was great, i LOVED their pizza, their steak restaurant is excellent, and so is the brunch on sundays, everything is worth trying.
Stayed here in July , had booked a small suite but on arrival we were upgraded to an executive suite .WOW. It was fantastic , massive and immaculate . The staff were lovely , tip your maid on arrival and she will leave tons of extra towels , toiletries etc . Reception is busy but they have lots of desks and we never waited more than a few minutes . Eating in the hotel is expensive but the food is superb , you have to do it even just for the memory . Gift shop in hotel was really nice and classy and cheaper than the rubbish in the tourist areas . Buy your snacks and drinks in there to as it is cheaper than surrounding shops and mini bar . I have been to NYC six times but nothing compares to our trip to the Waldorf . AMAZING !
I had a wonderful stay at the Waldorf=Astoria this past weekend! I was concerned about many of the reviews recently written, but was very pleased with my stay. Yes, the Park Ave lobby area is under contruction so that was a minor issue, but it was very easy to find the main lobby for check in. Beautiful lobby and excellent service at check-in. The room was clean and very comfortable. Had a little difficulty managing the temperature control in the room. No matter what temp I put the air conditioner on, the air stayed the same temp. So, at night, I just turned off the air and was fine. All in all, it was a wonderful stay, and I certainly would not hesitate to go back for another weekend at the Waldolf.
When our car arrived in the drive port, we were greeted by friendly porters who tagged our luggage and told us it would be in our room (it was). The front desk was fast, friendly, and arranged for a suite upgrade for very little. Our corner room was spacious, clean, with eight fluffly pillows on the king bed. The towels were soft and the robes a nice touch. The layout is full of small details that most hotels never include and are too numerous to mention. The concierge was very helpful, providing guides to all the attractions. The hotel's location to events made it within walking distance to most venues. However, a cab ride was only $5-7 on average to Times Square or Central Park. We had cocktails in the Bull and Bear, reasonably priced and very comfortable with no waiting. The security here is extremely good and we felt very safe the entire time. The room includes a large safe (we never used ours). Shopping is close with Fifth Avenue less than five minutes by cab. I will forever remember our stay, one of the most pleasant of any hotel in my sixty years of life.
If you want to be in central New York, you couldn't wish for a better location. The rooms are luxurious in an era gone by fashion, with lovely toiletries, and as one reviewer mentioned, even umbrellas in the rooms. Unlike one unfortunate reviewer, we were met at the entrance of the hotel, our luggage carried into our room and experienced the zip in/zip out check in process. The staff were very polite and helpful with tour/show bookings, restaurant recommendations, etc. and it was nice to be greeted like an old friend every time one came back to the hotel. Free internet access was only available in the main lobby and predictably the lobby was always full of hotel guests using their electronic devices and hence nowhere to sit, unless you ate or had a drink in the lobby restaurant. Despite this, I would stay at the Waldorf again.
I was a little concerned about staying here because of some of the reviews I have seen. Fortunately not one thing about this classic old hotel was negative. Every person we came in contact with was warm and welcoming, from the reception desk to the cleaning staff. The entire place just sparkles, and makes you feel as though you are royalty. Our room was 610, no view to speak of, but the room itself was spotless, and had so much charm. Bed was super comfy, and the bathroom was larger than I have seen before in city hotels. There was some renovation going on, so some of the hotel exits (main Park Ave for example) were closed off. No matter, since the hotel takes up a whole city block you could find your way out with no problem. One other thing to note is that I found this a very quiet hotel, you could hear some street noise ( the lullaby of manhattan :) ) but not bothersome at all. Heard no noise from rooms on either side of us, and no loud cleaning staff in the mornings. I will stay here again!
Ever since seeing Scent of a Woman I have wanted to go to e Waldorf and order a John Daniels at the bar. I finally got around to it and, despite the $17.42 price for a single JD, it was superb. The hotel is quite nice and my room spacious. I was a bit put off by the cashed up bogans in the foyer but I think that they were probably more sticky-beakers, rather than actual guests of the hotel. Service was swift, room was spotless, concierge aloof but ok. All in all, I have always wanted to stay here and I finally got around to it. Would definitely go back and would recommend. Even though my room was a cheaper room, it had a great view of Park Ave. loved it. Also if you do stay there, there is free postage for hotel guests in their business centre up to a pound a parcel. I sent 8 parcels home. Giddy up.
Celebrated my 40th birthday with 5 nights in the Waldorf Astoria and it did not disappoint. With ourselves and another couple travelling, we had two excellent rooms. Staff very friendly, everyone speaks, good morning etc. Ensure you treat yourself to breakfast at the Peacock Alley restaurant or a beer at the Bull and Bear, both excellent, although pricey. My only regret is that we did not do the Waldorf Astoria Hotel Tour to take in all the sights, although on our last day I did get a sneak look at the Grand Ball Room on Floor 3. Even though we are from the UK, are have an interest in American history and the walls are adorned of black and white photos of Presidents, Kings and uens who have stayed at thh Waldorf. Also, you see hotos of famous actors attending gala dinners there etc. The place is stepped in history......Brilliant, will go back some day.
Could not fault many aspects of the Waldorf Astoria after our recent stay in New York, from the moment we arrived at the hotel until our departure the staff we friendly and very knowledgable and only to happy to assist. The hotel is currently under refurbishment so access to the hotel has changed but this does not hinder any entry or exit to the building. Within walking distance to many restuarants and Times Square and short taxi ride to many other attractions. Visited the resturants within the Waldorf and the Bull & Bear is a little expensive as most mains are in excess of $50 but their nips of alcohol/ glasses of wine are very generous and the service is above average with attentive staff so not a place to visit if dining on a budget. If you enjoy buildings with heritage and charm as well as modern luxuries will not be disappointed with the Waldorf Astoria. Highly recommend.
My husband and I were in Manhattan in June 2012 for 4 days on a combination business/vacation trip, and had a GREAT experience at the Waldorf Astoria! During our entire stay, everyone on the hotel staff, from the doormen, to the bell staff, to the front desk staff, the restaurant servers and especially housekeeping, were incredibly friendly, professional, knowledgeable and accommodating! We loved it! There was a slight mishap with our room assignment when we checked in (they gave us a room that was already occupied by other travelers - oops!), so they immediately more than made up for it by upgrading us to a corner suite with an incredible view of the NYC skyline, including the Chrysler building and East River. It was amazing! In addition, the 24 hour room service menu was extensive and all of the food was delicious and delivered to our room exactly as ordered and within the time frame promised. Their restaurants and bars were also wonderful, and the hotel tour was incredibly interesting! Last year, we stayed in the Waldorf Towers, which were also luxurious, and where we likewise had incredible views and even a private balcony! We can't wait to go back!
We were staying in the Astoria for the June back holiday and the hotel was everything I expected and more. We arrived to a glamourous welcome but too early for our room (11:30am to be exact).The reception staff told us to start enjoying New York and took our number, kindly advising us they would text us when the room was ready. In less than an hour we received a text that the room was ready! The room was splendid, truly casts you back to Sinatra days with opulent, traditional glamour, traditional decorations and all decorated immaculately! Unfortunately our room was right by the lift so we rang reception to complain about the slight noise from the lift and within 15 minutes the staff moved us to another room. This was an even better room with a bathroom almost as big as the bedroom! Really helpful staff and a stunning hotel! Great central location too, just 2 minutes from Central Station! Fab breakfast too, homemade Granola is a true delight!
It is all about the people. I have had the pleasure to spend lots of time at my NYC home. After all, it is the Waldorf. Charm at every turn,property and people wise. I love, love, love walking through the door and I feel as if it is my home. Big smiles, the team wanting to know where I am and truly are. AC isn't t perfect, beds are great, cocktails are great at peacock alley(ask for Crystal(mgr), Austin or babu. The best! It all centers around Jackie, Mary, gena, rebbekah, Agnes, servando, michael, George and many others many others. Consider yourself the luckiest person ever, if you end up here...kudos to Eric long for having the best ever team!
