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.

Whitehaven Beach

Australia’s iconic Whitehaven Beach has just been crowned the world’s best beach for 2025 by Lonely Planet. The travel authority’s highly anticipated annual list, which highlights the most stunning coastlines across the globe, places Whitehaven Beach in the top spot, solidifying its reputation as a must-visit paradise.
Visiting Whitehaven Beach

Tucked away in the heart of the World Heritage-listed Whitsundays National Park, Whitehaven Beach is a paradise. Stretching over seven kilometers, Whitehaven graces the shores of Whitsunday Island, the largest of the 74 Whitsunday Islands. Its fine white sand, composed of 98 percent pure silica, is finer and softer than almost any other beach on the planet. Interestingly, the sand’s unique composition comes from ocean currents that carried it here over millions of years as it isn’t found in the surrounding rocks.
