The Towers of the Waldorf Astoria New York

This iconic landmark is currently undergoing an extensive restoration, and once complete will include 375-condos to buy, atop 375-hotel suites as well as over 50,000 sq ft of private residential amenities.

A favourite romantic destination for some of history’s elite - it was where Elizabeth Taylor and Eddie Fisher chose to honeymoon (riding out the scandal their union had stirred involving Fisher's previous wife, Debbie Reynolds). John and Jackie Kennedy also spent the first night of their honeymoon at the Waldorf Astoria New York.

Residents will have exclusive access to over 50,000 square feet of private residential amenities, ranging from health and wellness to entertainment spaces, all brilliantly designed by Jean-Louis Deniot. The stunning 25-meter Starlight Pool will overlook Park Avenue in a dramatic double height-space, illuminated by a restored skylight, where couples could float beneath the stars to their heart’s content.

For some fun and games, there are numerous entertaining spaces including the Grand Salon, a private dining room, wine tasting room, billiard’s room and game room.

Waldorf Astoria New York set the standard and defined hotel service at an ultra-luxury level and future residents of the condominiums will enjoy priority access to the unrivalled services of the hotel, including signing privileges at restaurants and bars, preferred pricing, and a la carte services like housekeeping and 24-hour in-residence dining.

The Towers of the Waldorf Astoria will offer residences starting from $1.7 million
