Waldorf Astoria New York will start accepting reservations beginning Dec. 10 for stays in 2025. Following a multi-year restoration effort led by architects Skidmore, Owings & Merrill (SOM) and interior design firm Pierre-Yves Rochon, the 375-room hotel is expected to reopen this spring.

“Waldorf Astoria New York has always been the place to be in New York City and, whether you are a visitor or a New Yorker, we know so many around the globe have their own fond stories with our hotel,” said Luigi Romaniello, managing director, Waldorf Astoria New York. “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. We look forward to lifting the curtain on Waldorf Astoria New York as it makes its grand reveal back to our beloved city and welcoming the world to create new memories at this iconic hotel.”

Located in Midtown Manhattan, the property will feature reimagined guestrooms and suites designed by Pierre-Yves Rochon, with the majority exceeding 570 sq. ft. Amenities will include a 30,000-sq.-ft. spa, a fitness center and an outdoor terrace, as well as two F&B outlets, including the two-story signature restaurant Lex Yard and the reimagined Peacock Alley lounge and bar.

The hotel also offers 43,000 sq. ft. of event space. The heritage spaces, including the Grand Ballroom, Jade Room, Astor Salon, Basildon Room and Silver Corridor, are all being restored. Amenities for events will include a dedicated event planner and manager on-site to assist with the event, an in-house production consultant for entertainment and a private Grand Ballroom entrance with dedicated elevators.

“The reopening of Waldorf Astoria New York is more than a milestone—it marks the beginning of a bold new era for our brand,” said Dino Michael, SVP/global head, luxury brands, Hilton. “For over a century, this legendary hotel has defined glamour and sophistication, and now it will serve as the flagship of a reimagined Waldorf Astoria.
