Following an extensive multi-year restoration, the iconic Waldorf Astoria New York is poised to reopen spring 2025.
Architecture firm Skidmore, Owings & Merrill (SOM) and interior design practice Pierre-Yves Rochon (PYR) are helming the project.

The 375 guestrooms and suites blend contemporary comfort with subtle Art Deco details in homage to the hotel’s legendary heritage. Crafted by PYR, the accommodations are envisioned as tranquil retreats that balance refined elegance with the vibrant energy of the city.
Culinary offerings will include Lex Yard, a two-story American brasserie helmed by chef Michael Anthony, and Peacock Alley, the signature lounge and bar synonymous with Waldorf Astoria, which has been reimagined for today’s guests.
Event spaces, totaling 43,000 square feet, include the historic Grand Ballroom, Jade Room, Astor Salon, Basildon Room, and Silver Corridor. These modernized areas feature preserved Art Deco detailing.
The revitalized property will also feature a 30,000-square-foot spa, fitness center, and a serene, outdoor terrace.
