The Waldorf has a 190-foot curving facade made of Aberdeen granite with a frieze of cherubs depicting the arts and sciences. Edward Sanders and Wild hired the young architect Alexander Marshall Mackenzie to build the hotel. Marshall Mackenzie (brother-in-law of distinguished Scottish designer Charles Rennie Mackintosh) went to New York to capture the pioneering new style in luxury. The Waldorf was built with a Gentlemen's Smoking room (now the Executive Boardroom), a billiard room (now the Executive Lounge), a ladies writing room (now the Aldwych meeting room), a 300 ft. dining space (now the Adelphi Suite), and the beautiful Palm Court. Homage pays tribute to the grand cafés of Europe and is open for breakfast, afternoon tea and dinner. The hotel bar is named after Howard Godfrey and His Waldorfians, the resident band signed under Piccadilly Records in the 1930s. The Parrot London is a cocktail bar and music venue with a tropical-theme. The bar was created in collaboration with actor, DJ and producer, Idris Elba and brothers Lee and Nicky Caulfield.
