Waldorf=Astoria and the Waldorf Towers Review

If you are looking for the epitome of old-school elegance, stop at the Waldorf=Astoria. This 1-square-block Art Deco masterpiece is not only a hotel icon, but also a New York City landmark. Here you’ll find a lobby so big and grand, it's reminiscent of Grand Central Terminal, and with its own signature clock. With over 1,000 rooms, the pace can be hectic, and at times the lines for checking in might remind you of the post office. And what rooms they are; no two the same, yet all are airy, with high ceilings, traditional decor, comfortable linens and beds, and spacious marble bathrooms. For even more opulence, try a suite in the Waldorf Towers, where most rooms are bigger than most New York City apartments. Tower rooms include butler service, and Clefs d'Or concierge service.

Peacock Alley, off the main lobby, is open for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, and is also famous for the sumptuous Sunday brunch.

Facilities:
4 restaurants; 4 bars; concierge and theater desk; executive-level rooms; 3,000-sq.-ft. fitness center and excellent spa; room service

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
