<\/a><\/p>\nThe Waldorf Astoria, one of Gotham’s\u00a0most celebrated\u00a0landmarks, is about to go through the biggest change in its history. The classic hotel will be closing for three years while the majority of the property’s nearly 1,400\u00a0rooms are transformed into luxury apartments. Those hoping to stay in the Waldorf in the future shouldn’t feel too dismayed, however. According to the Huffington Post, 300 to 500 rooms of the hotel will remain available to travelers hoping to still experience one of New York’s seminal travel experiences.\u00a0The hotel’s upcoming transformation shouldn’t come as too much of a surprise. In 2015, the classic property was purchased by China\u2019s Anbang Insurance Group for nearly $2 billion.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe have not finalized any plans in terms of the scope, nature, and details of the renovation project or the exact timing and duration of the hotel\u2019s closure. We are currently developing conceptual plans and will share additional details once those plans are finalized,\u201d a U.S.-based spokesman for Anbang says.<\/p>\n
The\u00a0landmark hotel, once the tallest in the world, holds a special place in the heart of New Yorkers. It pioneered the concept of room service and was the birthplace of iconic brunch dishes like the Waldorf salad and eggs Benedict. The hotel also served as the home away from home for every U.S. president visiting New York since Herbert Hoover. Additionally, the legendary Marilyn Monroe spent a year living within\u00a0its walls.<\/p>\n
