New York City's Iconic Waldorf Astoria Hotel Is Officially Accepting Reservations for the First Time Since 2017

One of New York’s most historic and legendary hotels will open its doors for the first time in eight years.

This week, the Waldorf Astoria announced that it has begun accepting reservations for the 375-room Park Avenue hotel. The stay will begin in September 2025, after the doors reopen in the spring for the first time since the hotel closed due to heavy bookings in 2017.

With guest rooms and suites reimagined by interior designer Pierre-Yves Rochon, the remodeled Waldorf Astoria has adopted “subtle Art Deco accents” throughout its spaces, according to a press release provided to PEOPLE.

The hotel boasts a 30,000 square meter spa alongside what is described as a “state-of-the-art fitness centre”.
