The Waldorf Astoria is a New York art-deco landmark and icon hosting dignitaries, presidents and Hollywood celebs since opening in the 1930's. La Guardia, JFK and Newark International airports are all within a 40 minute drive to the Waldorf and sits just two blocks from Fifth Avenue shopping and Rockefeller Center. Quick strolls, taxi or subway rides can transport travelers to all of Manhattan. Broadway is a four-block walk and Bloomingdale's is only nine blocks away. Occupying an entire block on prestigious Park Avenue, the Waldorf is one of the original grand hotels.

Guests enter into a large, opulent lobby area restored to its original splendor. This extraordinary hotel houses a beauty salon, airline office and a host of restaurants, bars and lounges. Dining options include the famed Bull and Bear with its popular center bar, steaks, chops, seafood and electronic stock ticker, Oscar's brasserie and an inventive and ground-breaking New Japanese restaurant, Inagiku. Guests can relax in the Cocktail Terrace for afternoon tea and drinks, with music played on Cole Porter's own Steinway piano. The Waldorf's 3,000-square- foot fitness facility includes personal trainers and massage therapists. Concierges speak 50 languages and help guests land theater tickets and arrange transportation and babysitting. The spectacular room service menu offers traditional and inventive new offerings, and the culinary team can arrange romantic candlelit dinners for two.

Guestrooms and suites symbolize Old World elegance with high ceilings, rich brocades, marble bathrooms, formal window treatments, crystal-and-brass lamps and triple-sheeted beds. Amenities offered in guestrooms include desks, minibars, fax machine, multi-line phones and cable/satellite television. Particularly lavish suites feature entry foyers and living areas.
