Located at 301 Park Avenue, this historic midtown Manhattan landmark, with both its exterior and interior officially designated as city landmarks, has been closed since 2017 for an extensive renovation.

The Waldorf Astoria New York is set to redefine luxury with reimagined guest rooms and suites designed by Pierre-Yves Rochon. Combining modern comforts with Art Deco touches, most accommodations exceed 570 square feet, offering a stay that pays homage to the hotel’s storied past.

“Visitors returning to the property will notice many of the historical elements, from the Grand Ballroom to the lobby with the famous Waldorf Astoria clock, have been restored to bring back the original grandeur, while thoughtful enhancements were incorporated for today’s traveler,” said Romaniello.

The revamped property includes a 30,000-square-foot spa, a state-of-the-art fitness center, and an outdoor terrace. With 43,000 square feet of event space, it’s poised to reclaim its role as a hub of city society and global events.

Acclaimed Chef Michael Anthony will helm Lex Yard, a standout two-story American Brasserie. The beloved Peacock Alley lounge and bar will also return with a reimagined design, cementing its place as the heartbeat of the hotel.

Reservations open on Tuesday, Dec. 10, via the hotel’s website.

WDW Swan Reserve

A Disney World vacation involves lots of planning, from selecting dining reservations to deciding on a park plan for every day. But the planning for a Walt Disney World (WDW) trip begins before you even step on the property. With over 30 resorts and hotels, travelers have lots of options when selecting a hotel to stay at on the property.

Recently, I stayed at the Walt Disney World Swan Reserve, the newest of the three hotels within the Swan and Dolphin Hotel collection. This Deluxe Disney World resort offers elegance that differs from many other Disney World resorts I've stayed at. Here's what makes WDW's Swan Reserve a unique Disney World resort for sophisticated travelers.
