Faultless towers: Waldorf Astoria New York sets its course for the future
Iconic Midtown Manhattan hotel is currently undergoing a major renovation

If you were to list the world’s most iconic hotels then the Waldorf Astoria in New York City would no doubt feature near the top. Described as an “Art Deco masterpiece” by The Telegraph, the “ultimate Grand Dame” in midtown Manhattan first opened in 1931 and quickly became a home-away-from-home to Hollywood stars, celebrities and politicians.
The hotel’s “glittering, high-society reputation” saw Marilyn Monroe, Frank Sinatra, and presidents Herbert Hoover and Dwight D. Eisenhower make their permanent homes there, Business Insider reports. And soon investors will be able to follow in the footsteps of Marilyn and “Ol’ Blue Eyes” by buying a luxury condo in “The Towers” when the revamped hotel opens again in 2023.
Residents won’t just have luxurious spaces to live in, but also for work, rest and play. Here we take a look inside The Towers of the Waldorf Astoria and its exclusive facilities, including The Monte Carlo Gaming Room and The Cue Club.
