Waldorf Astoria New York

Featuring a design by Pierre-Yves Rochon, the fabled Waldorf Astoria New York is ready to reveal its highly anticipated eight-year restoration in the spring. While historic elements like the lobby clock will make a comeback, the landmark Midtown hotel will be refreshed with 375 guestrooms that sparkle with Art Deco touches. Guests can savor a respite in the 30,000-square-foot spa or at Lex Yard, the bi-level brasserie helmed by chef Michael Anthony of Gramercy Tavern fame. Designed by AvroKO, its fluted columns, white oak parquet floors, and coffered ceilings call to mind glamorous 1930s New York.

The Vineta Hotel, Palm Beach, Florida

Oetker Collection’s debut U.S. hotel, slated for Q1, first opened as the Lido-Venice in 1926. Most recently, it was the longstanding Chesterfield, but the current iteration takes its name from the property’s 50-year chapter as the Vineta, before it morphed into condos in the 1980s. During the significant revamp from Paris firm Tino Zervudachi & Associés, spacious guestrooms take cues from European abodes, and Coco’s restaurant will be heightened by a new lounge, outdoor courtyard, and bar with soaring palm tree lights.
