With a reputation for unparalleled hospitality and service, the Art Deco landmark beckons New Yorkers and visitors alike. The legendary shops of Fifth and Madison Avenues are only minutes away, as are numerous art galleries and specialty shops. The hotel itself is home to some of the world's most luxurious boutiques.

Since 1893, the Waldorf=Astoria name has epitomized the quintessential luxury hotel experience. Each spacious, individually decorated guestroom and suite offers a rewarding union of timeless elegance and up to the moment convenience; luxurious comfort and classic sophistication. All guest rooms are spacious and richly appointed. Extraordinary in its depth and breadth, The Waldorf=Astoria's customer service offers unparalleled responsiveness to your every need.

Innovation and tradition meet at The Waldorf=Astoria's celebrated restaurants, bars, and lounges.
