Waldorf Astoria New York

Reopened Park Avenue icon with a full Bark Avenue package

This hotel is part of the Daisy Curated Collection. Its information has been researched and verified, but Daisy has not yet personally stayed here. When she does, this page will be upgraded to a full Daisy Verified inspection.

Daisy's Assessment
Researched and verified. Not yet personally stayed.
This is the storied Waldorf Astoria on Park Avenue, reopened in 2025 after an eight-year restoration and pared back to 375 rooms. It suits travellers who want Gilded Age grandeur with a modern fit-out and one of the city's most elaborate dog offerings. The Bark Avenue package layers on branded pet kit and a menu by the executive chef. It's a real luxury benchmark for dog travel.
