Inside the Newly Renovated Waldorf Astoria New York Residences

After a nearly decade-long renovation, buyers are now able to live in one of Manhattan’s most famous hotels. 

While the revamped Waldorf Astoria New York won’t start accepting reservations in September (and is slated for a soft opening in the spring), tenants can begin moving into its swanky Park Avenue residences in the meantime. Condo closings are officially underway at the iconic Art Deco property and are being handled by real estate brokerage Douglas Elliman.  

Spearheaded by architecture firm Skidmore, Owings & Merrill, the landmark project features 375 condominiums, set atop the reimagined 375-key hotel. Currently, pricing starts at $1.875 million, and layouts range from studios to four-bedroom apartments and penthouses with private terraces. 

In terms of the design, Jean-Louis Deniot tackled the interiors. Interestingly, Waldorf Astoria Residences New York is the first and only residential building in New York City to offer tenants the opportunity to purchase fully furnished, turnkey homes curated by B&B Italia. For example, buyers will be able to choose everything from their own light fixtures to linens, towels, artwork, and wall coverings. The hotel-residences also partnered with Bang & Olufsen to stock units with top-of-the-line audio-visual products. 

When it comes to perks, there is a 50,000-square-foot amenity suite, also designed by Deniot. The offerings include a 25-meter indoor swimming pool, a state-of-the-art fitness center, a wellness area, gaming rooms, and a theater. Of course, if you’re only in town for a weekend, the hotel recently unveiled its plush Park Avenue View Premier suite, which will run you $1,500 per night.  

“At Waldorf Astoria Residences New York, we’re excited to offer a living experience like no other, with stunning views of Park Avenue, right above the famous Waldorf Astoria New York hotel,” Andre Zotoff, CEO of Strategic Hotels & Resorts, the asset management company of Waldorf Astoria New York, said. “When the hotel reopens in spring 2025, residents will not only have access to private, top-of-the-line amenities, but will also enjoy special access to the hotel’s world-class services. This includes over 100,000 square feet of hotel amenities, such as a 30,000-square-foot spa and a variety of dining options.” 

Not too shabby for your new Big Apple abode.
