It is just an amazing experience ariving at the Waldorf. It is so steeped in history and we had a very warm welcome from the doorman to the reception area where we were checked in. Mary took us to the diamond reception for check in and Mary and her colleague Jackie were full of chat and entertainment and it was obvious there were happy to greet us and made us very welcome indeed.
Mary took our passports for checkin and I informed her that it was my wifes 40th birthday (although she doesnt look a day over 30 if you are reading this hon !). She promptly gave us a fantastic upgrade which was the perfect start to our break just after the long flight from Ireland.
We regularly used the concierge and they were always happy to provide us with all the information we needed and recommended a super restaurant for our second night there.
The only part that was less than superb for me was the bar. We were told in books and by the hotel itself of the history and classic bull and bear bar that people came to visit from all around - found it very average myself - nothing to do with staff or drinks just found the bar to be average.
Location is fantastic with proximity to Central Park, Rockafeller Center, Times Square, shopping in 5th and Madison - list goes on.
Overall fantastic trip to New York and wonderful experience at the Waldorf. We'll be back.
