Critic Reviews

Forbes

“The lobby has the decadent feel of a ballroom with its sweeping marble staircases, and glamour seeps from every crevice of the hotel, which sits on a full city block.”

Fodor's

“The Waldorf is undeniably historic, and presidents usually stay here thanks to the security of the drive-in entrance, but we'd recommend a cocktail at the classic Bull and Bear Bar downstairs rather than a night in one of the small standard rooms.”

Oyster.com

“A Midtown East icon, the 1,300-room Waldorf Astoria comes with some of New York's best (or at least most expensive) spa services, fitness facilities, restaurants, and bars.”

Travel + Leisure

“Popular bandleaders like Benny Goodman and Xavier Cugat would perform at the hotel's three supper clubs in the 1930s and '40s, and the music would be broadcast around the nation, "coming to you live from the Waldorf Astoria hotel."”

New York Magazine

“Every President since Hoover has stayed here, as have boldface names from the Queen of England to Britney Spears. It's also been the New York residence of the Duke and Duchess of Windsor.”
