Waldorf Astoria

The grande dame of Park Avenue — this fine art photograph of the Waldorf Astoria captures one of the most storied and magnificent hotels in the world, a building whose name has been synonymous with luxury, glamour, and the highest standards of hospitality for over a century. The Waldorf Astoria New York opened on Park Avenue in 1931, a masterpiece of Art Deco architecture designed by Schultze and Weaver that rises 47 stories above Midtown Manhattan and occupies an entire city block. Its twin towers, its soaring lobby with its mosaic floors and ornate ceilings, its legendary Peacock Alley corridor and its grand ballrooms have hosted presidents, monarchs, celebrities, and dignitaries from every corner of the world. Cole Porter lived there. Frank Sinatra performed there. Every American president since Herbert Hoover has stayed there. The hotel is not merely a building but an institution, a place where the history of the twentieth century played out in its corridors and suites with a glamour and consequence that few addresses anywhere in the world can match. This photograph captures that grandeur with the precision and care it deserves. Printed on Fuji Crystal Archive paper with optional acrylic glass or Alu-Dibond mounting for a gallery-quality finish.
