Waldorf Astoria Residences New York

Inspired by the hotel’s classic grandeur, internationally acclaimed designer Jean-Louis Deniot has created residences that balance modern comfort with Art Deco opulence; blending the old and the new; the European and the American; the grand and the intimate. Welcome to Waldorf Astoria Residences New York.

From its inception, the Waldorf Astoria was a true palace in the city. Cultural figures, political leaders, musicians, and royalty gathered in its grand spaces and entertained in its opulent suites. The Waldorf Astoria’s legendary service set the standard for American hospitality.

The original Waldorf Hotel was built at 33rd Street and Fifth Avenue in 1893 by William Waldorf Astor. Four years later, John Jacob Astor IV, William’s cousin and familial rival, built an even taller hotel next door in an act of one-upmanship. The cousins finally agreed to a truce and the two buildings were connected through a 300 foot marble corridor known as Peacock Alley. The Waldorf-Astoria was born.

The story of the Waldorf Astoria is, in many ways a story of New York City—a story of ambition, innovation, and achievement. From residential interior designer Jean-Louis Deniot, to architect Skidmore, Owings & Merrill, to hotel interior designer Pierre-Yves Rochon, the team behind the restoration of the Waldorf Astoria are all global icons in their own right.

Each residence celebrates the scale and beauty of the original architecture—a perfect balance of aesthetic and practical considerations—with windows that replicate the building’s original design and flood the rooms with dynamic views of the New York cityscape.

Kitchens feature wood and lacquer cabinetry custom-designed by Deniot and fabricated by Italian design house Molteni&C, cleverly concealing top-of-the-line German appliances by Gaggenau. Elegant primary bathrooms offer heated floors, rain showers, and custom Italian vanities. Handcrafted finishes, natural materials, and subtle Art Deco references bring a sense of history to these gracious contemporary spaces.

The scale and beauty of the original Art Deco architecture, with its distinctive detailing and set-back terraces, exists in perfect harmony with تصميم معاصر—blending the old and the new, the cosmopolitan and the American, the grand and the intimate.
