Description

What to expect: Just steps off Park Avenue, a discreet entrance on East 50th Street leads to a quiet, efficient reception area. Elevators with Art Deco doors of embossed nickel take guests to their rooms on the 28th through 42nd floors. An elite residential-style retreat, the hotel has hosted every U.S. president since Herbert Hoover (who lived here for 30 years). World leaders, royalty, dignitaries, and Hollywood legends of past and present have chosen the hotel for its blend of opulence and privacy, as well as its desirable Midtown location.

Amenity highlights: The +1 Spa is a Zen-inspired oasis on the 19th floor. Almost 20 signature treatments are available, including the Lime Butterfly, Milk & Honey Cocoon, Chocolate Pansy, and Cool Blue Facial. The hotel’s dining options include the Bull and Bear steakhouse, the casually chic Oscar’s brasserie, and the Cocktail Terrace overlooking the Waldorf=Astoria’s Art Deco lobby.

Insider tip: A private spur beneath the building was used by Herbert Hoover and Franklin Roosevelt to travel directly from the White House to the hotel.
