The Waldorf Astoria New York is set to redefine luxury with reimagined guest rooms and suites designed by Pierre-Yves Rochon. Combining modern comforts with Art Deco touches, most accommodations exceed 570 square feet, offering a stay that pays homage to the hotel’s storied past.

“Visitors returning to the property will notice many of the historical elements, from the Grand Ballroom to the lobby with the famous Waldorf Astoria clock, have been restored to bring back the original grandeur, while thoughtful enhancements were incorporated for today’s traveler,” said Romaniello.

The revamped property includes a 30,000-square-foot spa, a state-of-the-art fitness center, and an outdoor terrace. With 43,000 square feet of event space, it’s poised to reclaim its role as a hub of city society and global events.

Acclaimed Chef Michael Anthony will helm Lex Yard, a standout two-story American Brasserie. The beloved Peacock Alley lounge and bar will also return with a reimagined design, cementing its place as the heartbeat of the hotel.

Reservations open on Tuesday, Dec. 10, via the hotel’s website.
