The building’s Art Deco charm has been adapted for the 372 residences and over 50,000 square feet of new amenities.
The Waldorf Astoria New York, which has been closed since 2017, is selling new residences, with some already occupied before the revamped hotel reopens this spring.
The hotel — an Art Deco masterpiece by Schultze and Weaver on Park Avenue in Manhattan — always had a residential component: It was home to everyone from Cole Porter, Marilyn Monroe, Frank Sinatra and the Duke and Duchess of Windsor to Presidents Herbert Hoover, Harry S. Truman and Dwight D. Eisenhower. The building’s exterior was designated a landmark by the Landmarks Preservation Commission in 1993 and parts of its interior were designated by the same body in 2017.
The residences in the original building were hotel rooms or suites for which occupants paid long-term room rates.
The building has been renamed Waldorf Astoria New York, with residents of Waldorf Astoria Residences New York having their own entrance at 303 Park Avenue, slightly north of the hotel’s main entrance. Floors one to five will be occupied by the hotel’s lobby and function spaces, and floors six to 12 will contain hotel guest rooms.
The 372 residences, ranging in size from 564 square feet to over 6,500 square feet, with 125 layouts, will occupy floors 19 to 52. The amenities for the residences will occupy floors 19 and 25 to 27. Prices start from $1.875 million for studios to $18.75 million for four bedrooms. Sales of the residences — managed by Douglas Elliman Development Marketing — began in 2021, and owners began occupying them last December.
