With still no definite official opening date - Waldorf Astoria New York on Park Avenue has unveiled its luxury condominium residences - The Towers of the Waldorf Astoria.
Since its highly acclaimed opening in 1931 - as the world's largest and tallest hotel - the Waldorf Astoria remains one of New York City's most prominent landmarks. It has been undergoing a full & meticulous renovation - and The Towers will sit atop the 375-guestroom hotel.
The residences at The Towers of the Waldorf Astoria will offer a diverse range of options, from elegant studios to luxurious four-bedroom units and magnificent penthouses nestled within the iconic copper pinnacles. Several marquee residences boast expansive private outdoor spaces. Each residence features all-new windows that incorporate modern sound-attenuating technology while paying homage to the original 1931 design.
Privacy and security are paramount at The Towers of the Waldorf Astoria, providing residents with a distinct residential experience separate from the hotel. With two fully staffed residential entry lobbies available 24/7 and a striking porte cochère boasting double-height vaulted ceilings, residents enjoy a private entry with 24-hour valet service from East 50th Street.
Six dedicated residential elevators feature destination dispatch technology, and there is a secure residential entrance into the Waldorf Astoria New York, granting access to the hotel's exceptional food and beverage venues and world-class spa. The generous scale of the property ensures that residents benefit from the highest number of service staff among super-luxury residential buildings in New York, including an on-site dedicated concierge.
One of the unique features of the residences at The Towers of the Waldorf Astoria is the concierge closet, seamlessly integrated into the entryway design of each home. This closet facilitates secure and private deliveries of packages, laundry, and room service, accessible from both the common corridor and within the residence.
Residents will indulge in over 50,000 square feet of exclusive private residential amenities meticulously designed by Jean-Louis Deniot. These amenities encompass health and wellness facilities, entertainment spaces, and business areas. The magnificent 25-metre Starlight Pool commands a double-height space with views of Park Avenue, illuminated by a restored skylight that unveils the architects' original vision after 70 years. The lush Winter Garden and the Starlight Lounge, connected to the Starlight Terrace soaring above Park Avenue, pay homage to the renowned entertaining spaces at the original Waldorf Astoria. A state-of-the-art fitness center with training studios and a cardio gallery overlooks the pool, while opulent private spas provide changing rooms, lounges, saunas, steam rooms, showers, and treatment rooms. An array of beautifully designed entertaining spaces accommodates private functions, including the Grand Salon, an expansive and elegant ballroom with an adjacent catering kitchen; The Chrysler Room, a private dining room boasting incredible views of the Chrysler Building; The Cue Club, featuring two pool tables and a snooker table; and the Monte Carlo Gaming Room. Additional private amenities include the Presidential Library and Bar, curated by the White House Historical Association; a Children's Playroom; the Stage & Screen Theater with a performance stage and grand piano; and The Empire Club, an elevated executive space exclusively available for residents to work, socialise, and entertain.
The luxurious hotel interiors of Waldorf Astoria New York are masterfully designed by renowned designer Pierre-Yves Rochon, blending contemporary elements with the signature Art Deco heritage of the hotel.
Expert preservationists have undertaken meticulous study and restoration work to revive the hotel's unique artifacts, including the illustrious Spirit of Achievement statue that graced the Park Avenue entrance, the 1893 World's Fair Clock, and the Steinway grand piano owned by acclaimed American composer Cole Porter since 1907. These revered pieces will be reinstated in their rightful places of prominence within the Waldorf Astoria New York.
