I got a sneak peek at the newly restored Waldorf Astoria hotel in New York City. It looks straight out of the Gilded Age.
After an eight-year renovation that cost a reported $2 billion, the landmark hotel once again opened for business in July. Its iconic event spaces, including a three-tiered Grand Ballroom, are set to reopen in September. Other parts of the landmark building have been updated with state-of-the-art luxuries.

They don’t call the Waldorf Astoria New York “The Greatest of Them All” for nothing.
After an eight-year renovation that cost a reported $2 billion, the landmark hotel once again opened for business in July. Its iconic event spaces, including a three-tiered Grand Ballroom, are set to reopen in September.
Furnishings dating back to the Gilded Age, such as ceiling murals that were part of the hotel’s original location on Fifth Avenue, have been painstakingly restored by hand. Other parts of the landmark building have been updated with state-of-the-art luxuries, such as new four-bedroom condominiums with sale prices starting at $18.75 million.
I visited the Waldorf Astoria in July for a sneak peek of the hotel before it opened to the public. Take a look inside.
