Stayed there in 1999 on an anniversary lark. Might have been using cheap tickets on what was then the “Delta Shuttle” from DC. Spent that Saturday evening in the lobby bar where Daryl Sherman was playing Cole Porter’s piano. Had intended to get supper elsewhere but Daryl was great so we listened to her all night.

What a shame that the Chinese have bought such a Iconic place and now will put 100’s of people out of a job and make three quarters of the hotel condo’s.
Trump should have bought it.

When I was 11 my Dad took me with him on a business trip to NYC and we stayed at the Waldorf.I was far too young and clueless to know that the Waldorf was a big deal.I’ve never been back.

Hilton has drained every possible penny out of this building and the hotel is a mere shadow of what it was just a decade ago. This is where we stayed whenever we went to NYC. The hotel was exceptional and the location couldn't be beat. Using points to pay for the room was also a plus. For the last several years, however, it's been a mess.
Hate to see this happen to such an icon and felt the same way when they did something similar to the Plaza.
