Recent Waldorf Towers Review: "My wife and I took our 12 year old to NYC and stayed in the Waldorf Towers. My wife was a bit concerned that we might not be satisfied with the room, based on some prior reviews she had read here and on other sites. She was pleasantly surprised by how nice and spacious the room was. We had a special time, and there is no place like the Waldorf. We picked the hotel because we needed to be sure we could get a room with two doubles. Everything worked out great. Our only concern was that the complimentary breakfast that was included with our room was served in a small lounge which was always very crowded -- we ended up going out for breakfast every day (which can get expensive in mid-town). Otherwise, a perfect stay."

    Overview
    Occupying the upper floors of the venerable Waldorf Astoria Hotel, the Waldorf Towers is designed to provide an even more exclusive experience. An elite, residential-style retreat, the Waldorf Towers has hosted every U.S. president since Herbert Hoover (who lived here for 30 years). World leaders, royalty, dignitaries, and Hollywood legends past and present have chosen the hotel for its luxury, privacy, and desirable Midtown location.

    A 5-minute walk away, Fifth Avenue offers scores of luxury retailers, including Tiffany & Co. and the flagship Saks. Take a break from shopping to admire the masterworks at the Museum of Modern Art, or enjoy breathtaking views from Rockefeller Center's Top of the Rock Observation Deck--both are a 10-minute walk from the hotel. When night falls, Broadway shows, Carnegie Hall concerts, and Madison Square Garden events are all just a short cab ride away.

    Just steps off Park Avenue, a private entrance leads to the Waldorf Towers' quiet reception area, where Les Clefs d'Or concierges and other staff provide attentive, discreet service. Private, key-access elevators whisk you to elegant accommodations on the 28th through 42nd floors.

    This boutique hotel-within-a-hotel features the best of both worlds: exclusive amenities and access to all the Waldorf Astoria has to offer. You can enjoy a complimentary Continental breakfast each morning in the private Astoria Lounge. You'll also receive complimentary access to the Waldorf Astoria's well-equipped fitness center. After you've worked up an appetite, you'll find some of New York's most revered restaurants just an elevator ride away. From the Bull and Bear Steakhouse to Oscar's Brasserie, the Waldorf Astoria's dining choices enjoy a storied past and a celebrated present.

    After a sumptuous meal, retire to a spacious Hotel Rooms or suite with antique furnishings, period fixtures, and high ceilings. The Waldorf Towers' opulent, individually decorated rooms evoke a bygone era, but feature such modern amenities as wired high-speed Internet access (surcharge), flat-panel TVs, and iPod docks. Twice-daily housekeeping includes nightly turndown service. And for late-night cravings, room service is available 24 hours a day.

    A short guide to Midtown

    Some of NYC’s best-known landmarks are north of 14th and south of 59th—or Midtown Manhattan. Here, couples kiss atop the Empire State Building. Grand Central Station’s opal-faced clock is a famed meeting spot. While fortunes are made on Wall Street, fortunes are spent at Fifth Avenue’s shops. Other highlights include Madison Square Garden, the United Nations, and the Garment and Diamond districts.

    Recreation

    Located on the 5th floor, the Waldorf Astoria's 2,500-square-foot fitness center is open 24 hours a day. Precor cardio machines are equipped with TV screens; free weights and strength-training equipment are also provided. Access to the fitness center is complimentary for Waldorf Towers guests.
