More about The Waldorf Towers, A Conrad Hotel

What to expect: Just steps off Park Avenue, a discreet entrance on East 50th Street leads to a quiet, efficient reception area appointed with antiques and Oriental rugs. Elevators with Art Deco doors of embossed nickel take guests to their rooms on the 28th through 42nd floors. An elite residential-style retreat, the Waldorf Towers has hosted every U.S. president since Herbert Hoover (who lived here for 30 years). World leaders, royalty, dignitaries, and Hollywood legends of past and present have chosen the hotel for its blend of opulence and privacy, as well as its desirable Midtown location.
Amenity highlights: The +1 Spa is a Zen-inspired oasis on the 19th floor. Almost 20 signature treatments are available, including the Lime Butterfly, Milk & Honey Cocoon, Chocolate Pansy, and Waldorf Salad Gommage. The hotel's dining options include the Bull and Bear steakhouse, the casually chic Oscar's brasserie, and the Cocktail Terrace overlooking the Waldorf=Astoria's Art Deco lobby.
Insider tip: A private train track beneath the building was used by presidents Hoover and Franklin D. Roosevelt to travel from the White House directly to the Waldorf Towers.

Dinining

  • The Bull and Bear A classic New York steakhouse, the Bull and Bear serves prime Certified Angus Beef and fresh seafood. The room gleams with polished wood paneling, antique brass chandeliers, and mirrored pillars. The restaurant is open for lunch and dinner weekdays and dinner on weekends.
  • The Bull and Bear Bar Bronze statues of a bull and bear from the original 1893 Waldorf preside over the antique mahogany bar. An electronic NYSE/Nasdaq ticker tape fuels lively discussion between the "bulls and bears" sipping martinis and Manhattans.
  • Oscar's This American brasserie is named after maitre d'hotel Oscar Tschirky, the inventor of the Waldorf Salad, Veal Oscar, and Eggs Benedict. Golden woods and cobalt trim contribute to the casual yet sophisticated ambience. Oscar's image appears in a basrelief mural of Old New York. Buffets and à la carte selections are served at breakfast and lunch. Dinner highlights include Waldorf Salad, Poached Atlantic Salmon, and Oscar's Chicken Pot Pie.
  • The Cocktail Terrace Overlooking the majestic Art Deco lobby, the Cocktail Terrace is known for its traditional afternoon tea. A pianist plays Cole Porter's Steinway grand Tuesdays through Saturdays.
  • Inagiku Restaurant Innovative Japanese cuisine is presented in a theatrical setting that includes tatami rooms for private dining.
  • Sir Harry's This worldly lounge is reminiscent of the Explorers Club in the 1930s.
