The Waldorf Astoria New York, a 1.6 million-square-foot luxury hotel, has reopened after a closure of more than 3,000 days. Known for its connection to celebrity culture and historical events, the hotel underwent extensive renovations to modernize tired rooms and mismatched spaces. Financial backing from Chinese firms and management by Hilton aimed to restore its iconic status. Notable moments in its history include celebrations with Grace Kelly and prestigious events like the first Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction.
The Waldorf Astoria New York occupies a full block, making the closure spanning over 3,000 days particularly noticeable. It is a 1.6 million-square-foot statement piece situated in Midtown.
The hotel has been synonymous with America's ambition and obsession with celebrity since Conrad Hilton secured management in 1949. Notable events include Grace Kelly's engagement party and the first Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee ceremony.
