After nearly a decade of renovation, buyers of the Waldorf Astoria New York now have the opportunity to call one of Manhattan’s most iconic hotels their home
While the newly revamped Waldorf Astoria New York won’t be fully operational until September, with a soft opening expected in the spring, its luxurious Park Avenue residences are already ready for residents.
Condo closings have officially begun at this celebrated Art Deco building.
Led by the prestigious architecture firm Skidmore, Owings & Merrill, this monumental transformation includes 375 condominiums located above the reimagined 375-key hotel.
The residences cater to a variety of buyers, with prices starting at $1.875 million. Apartment sizes range from studios to four-bedroom units, including penthouses that boast private terraces.
Jean-Louis Deniot, a renowned interior designer, was responsible for the luxurious interiors of the residences.
Notably, the Waldorf Astoria New York Residences are the first and only residential units in New York City that allow tenants to purchase fully furnished homes, curated by the renowned brand B&B Italia.
Buyers can customize their living spaces with everything from lighting and linens to art and wall coverings.
Additionally, the residences are outfitted with state-of-the-art audio-visual equipment, courtesy of a collaboration with Bang & Olufsen.
The residences offer an unparalleled living experience, including a 50,000-square-foot amenity suite, also designed by Jean-Louis Deniot.
Residents can enjoy a range of world-class facilities, such as a 25-meter indoor swimming pool, a cutting-edge fitness center, wellness rooms, gaming areas, and even a private theater.
For those visiting for a short stay, the hotel’s Park Avenue View Premier suite, which offers unmatched luxury, is available at $1,500 per night.
Andre Zotoff, CEO of Strategic Hotels & Resorts, the company managing the Waldorf Astoria New York, expressed enthusiasm about the living experience.
“At Waldorf Astoria Residences New York, we’re thrilled to offer a lifestyle that combines the luxury of private amenities with exceptional views of Park Avenue, all above the legendary Waldorf Astoria New York hotel”, he said.
Also, Zotoff added that when the hotel reopens in the spring of 2025, residents will not only have access to exclusive, high-end amenities but will also benefit from special privileges at the hotel, such as a 30,000-square-foot spa and an array of fine dining options.
The original Waldorf Astoria Hotel in New York was built by the Waldorf family, led by William Waldorf Astor, and opened in 1893.
It was designed by architects Henry J. Hardenbergh and his firm, which also designed other iconic buildings like the Plaza Hotel.
The original structure was located on Fifth Avenue and was later demolished in 1929 to make way for a larger building at its current location on Park Avenue.
The current Waldorf Astoria New York, a 47-story skyscraper, was completed in 1931 and was designed by the architectural firm Schultze & Weaver.
The building became a symbol of luxury and grandeur, known for its Art Deco style.
Owings & Merrill, commonly known as Skidmore, Owings & Merrill (SOM), is a globally renowned architecture, urban planning, and engineering firm.
Founded in 1936 in Chicago by Louis Skidmore and Nathaniel Owings, later joined by John Merrill, the firm has played a significant role in shaping modern architecture and skyscraper design.
