Old world glamour
Stayed here July 6th for 3 nights and was kind of expecting to be a little disappointed as was expecting so much from this icon of New York. I was NOT disappointed at all, walked in and my mouth dropped but the sheer beauty of this place, yes there are more opulent rooms with more modern decor in other hotels but if that is what you want then I suggest you book one of those hotels. If you want to immerse yourself in old world glamour and style then you will not be disappointed by it. Just around the corner is a lovely bar at St Bart's which is relaxing and food is lovely. Waldorf is a great central location to get to the sights and I would recommend this hotel as an ideal base.
