LUXURY HOMES
“The Waldorf Astoria has a forever lavish aura,” says Jean-Louis
Deniot. “The interiors will reflect the magnificence of the past
mixed with today’s great sense of energy. They will be grand and
playful, all highly inviting, with many elements of surprise and
excitement.”
The wide variety of residences range from gracious studios to
opulent four bedrooms and magnificent penthouses, many
with unique floorplans, and several marquee residences with
expansive private outdoor spaces. Approximately 10-foot ceiling
heights are typical throughout The Towers, with select residences
on upper floors featuring heights of up to thirteen feet. Every
residence has been outfitted with all new windows that feature
modern sound-attenuating technology while bringing back the
1931 design, and herringbone floors with a custom cerused finish
are laid throughout the homes. Residence kitchens feature a full
suite of integrated state-of-the-art Gaggenau appliances, all fully
vented to the outside.
Privacy and security are paramount at The Towers of the Waldorf
Astoria, which offers a discrete residential experience separate from
the hotel. There are two residential entry lobbies—both fully staffed
24-hours per day—and a dramatic porte cochère with doubleheight
vaulted ceilings that will offer residents a private entry with
24-hour valet service from East 50th Street. There are six dedicated
residential elevators with destination dispatch technology, as well
as a secure residential entrance into the Waldorf Astoria New York,
offering access to the hotel’s numerous food and beverage venues
as well as world-class spa. Because of the generous scale of the
property, residents will enjoy the highest number of service staff
of any super-luxury residential building in New York, including a
dedicated onsite concierge. One of the most unique features of the
residences at The Towers of the Waldorf Astoria is the concierge
closet, which is integrated into the design of the entryway in every
home. The closet is used for the secure and private delivery of
packages, laundry, and room service, and is accessible from both
the common corridor as well as inside of the home.
