Waldorf Astoria, New York
Waldorf Astoria Entrance
One of the most iconic of all hotels, when the Waldorf Astoria opened in its current location on Park Avenue in 1931, it was the tallest and largest hotel in the world. This landmark hotel – where Marilyn Monroe was a permanent resident – remains the world’s biggest Art Deco building, occupying an entire city block in midtown Manhattan. Designed by architects Schultze and Weaver, The Waldorf Astoria New York hotel is an essential destination for enthusiasts of the Art Deco style. The hotel is justifiably recognised as one of the world’s most significant examples of Art Deco art and architecture, being as it is a living museum of decorative ornamentation, design, exceptional paintings and beautiful motifs.
