The Waldorf Astoria has reopened after the restoration and partial residential conversion in Midtown East, Manhattan. Interstate Drywall concluded the drywall and carpentry work on the hotel interiors, including the residences, lobby and amenity areas.
The Waldorf Astoria officially reopened to the public yesterday following the conclusion of its eight-year renovation at 301 Park Avenue in Midtown East, Manhattan. Designed by Skidmore Owings & Merrill, the $2 billion project involved the renovation and partial hotel-to-residential conversion of the 47-story, 625-foot-tall Art Deco landmark, which was completed in 1931. The property occupies a full city block bounded by Park and Lexington Avenues and East 49th and 50th Streets.
Dubbed “The Waldorf Astoria Residences New York,” the new residential component contains 372 condominium units designed by Jean-Louis Deniot. Pierre-Yves Rochon served as the interior designer for the hotel’s public spaces and 375 guest rooms, which will be operated in partnership with Hilton.
