Waldorf Towers


We interrupt this South America coverage to review my night at the Waldorf Towers in New York on September 29, 2011. This is the residential part of the legendary Waldorf Astoria and is perfect for extended stays or when you want more space than the typical NY room (which can be as small as a “New York minute” is fast).

My Luxury Suite at the Waldorf Towers
My  Luxury Suite was huge and had a Park Avenue view. The décor was traditional but with modern amenities: iPod docking station, flat-screen TV, etc.   A grand foyer complete with chandelier led to the living room, which had ample space for entertaining with a sofa and plush chair. There was also a desk and the dining area had a table for two.  Then a corridor led to the Bedroom, but closer inspection revealed a wet bar, full size fridge, and cabinets stocked with glassware, etc.

The bedroom had a very comfortable King bed and an antique armoire along with the second TV. Beyond that was the Dressing room with vanity, valet and huge wall closet. The original safe was in the room and it was a thing of beauty.

The bathroom was large with marble floors, a big tub, separate shower and pretty porcelain vanity. I couldn’t help wishing it had the old-fashioned claw-foot soaking tub, and the modern showerhead the size of a dinner plate, which shows you just how spoiled rotten I have become.

I enjoyed the complimentary continental breakfast in the Astoria Lounge. There was a nice spread with good coffee and lots of copies of the Wall Street Journal available.  Everyone was super nice and I was sorry my stay was so brief. After a cocktail at the Peacock Alley Bar, I was on the road once again.
