On a recent business trip to New York City I stayed at Waldorf-Astoria. Although I’m not typically a fan of older hotels, one cannot help but be impressed by the old world charm this fabled New York City hotel holds, and the art deco architectural details both outside and through out the property are truly amazing.
I did not have a chance to enjoy the hotels’ amenities or visit any of the three hotel restaurants, but I did appreciate my slightly quirky but spacious corner room on the 11th floor with high ceilings, large closet and small work space.
The hotel is very convenient to Midtown attractions but beware that this iconic property means that the lobby is always busy. Hotel guests mingle with curious visitors coming to photograph the lobby and or attend one of the many events the property seems to always host.
Property hint: If you join the Hilton Membership program you will be allowed two free waters each day of your stay.

I was planning on staying here on my next NYC trip… looks good. (I love older hotels.)

You made me smile. We stayed here (and on the 11th floor) of the W-A two weeks after 9/11. The room was $130/day. Yet in the evening we were the only ones going through the lobby not in black-tie. I just KNOW when we got off the elevator on 11 people snickered and went “hehehe Internet rate!”. Our room was uneventful, but having a drink in the Oak Room was fun and saying you stayed there is a nice thing.
