We interrupt this South America coverage to review my nightat the Waldorf Towers in New York on September 29, 2011. This is theresidential part of the legendary Waldorf Astoria and is perfect for extendedstays or when you want more space than the typical NY room (which can be assmall as a “New York minute” is fast).

My Luxury Suite at the Waldorf Towers

My Luxury Suite was huge and had a Park Avenue view. Thedécor was traditional but with modern amenities: iPod docking station,flat-screen TV, etc.  A grand foyercomplete with chandelier led to the living room, which had ample space forentertaining with a sofa and plush chair. There was also a desk and the diningarea had a table for two.  Then acorridor led to the Bedroom, but closer inspection revealed a wet bar, fullsize fridge, and cabinets stocked with glassware, etc.
The bedroom had a very comfortable King bed and an antiquearmoire along with the second TV. Beyond that was the Dressing room withvanity, valet and huge wall closet. The original safe was in the room and it was a thing of beauty.
The bathroom was large with marble floors, a big tub,separate shower and pretty porcelain vanity. I couldn’t help wishing it had theold-fashioned claw-foot soaking tub, and the modern showerhead the size of adinner plate, which shows you just how spoiled rotten I have become.

I enjoyed the complimentary continental breakfast in theAstoria Lounge. There was a nice spread with good coffee and lots of copies ofthe Wall Street Journal available.  Everyonewas super nice and I was sorry my stay was so brief. After a cocktail at thePeacock Alley Bar, I was on the road once again.
