The Story of the Waldorf Astoria is a comprehensive historical account of one of New York City's most iconic hotels. Written by Edward Hungerford, a journalist and author who covered the hotel extensively during its early years, the book delves into the Waldorf Astoria's origins, construction, and evolution over time. The Waldorf Astoria was originally two separate hotels, the Waldorf and the Astoria, which were merged in 1893 to create a grand luxury hotel that quickly became a symbol of New York City's opulence and glamour. Hungerford traces the hotel's early days, including its famous guests and notable events, such as the birth of the Waldorf salad and the first-ever charity ball. The book also covers the hotel's major renovations and expansions, including the construction of the current Waldorf Astoria building in the 1930s. Hungerford describes the hotel's role in World War II, when it served as a headquarters for the US Army, and its later years as a hub for international diplomacy and high society events. Throughout the book, Hungerford weaves in anecdotes and stories from the hotel's past, bringing to life the personalities and events that have shaped the Waldorf Astoria's legacy. The Story of the Waldorf Astoria is a fascinating read for anyone interested in the history of New York City or the evolution of luxury hospitality.

Not worth purchasing.
Not worth purchasing. Nothing breaks until the insurance is expired.

Get the INSURANCE!!!!
My chair broke. Almost at the one year mark… I’m so glad I got the insurance! I put in my claim (it was easy) and it was resolved within 72 hours. Sometimes I decline the insurance because it turns out to be more hassle than it’s worth but Asurion came through!
