The Waldorf Astoria symbolized Manhattan glamour, but after multiple delays and a shift in focus to luxury condos, its reopening has become a shadow of its former self.
The delay in reopening to spring 2025 reflects the disregard by its new owners, the Dajia Insurance Group, not only for the iconic hotel but also for New York's heritage.
Anbang's collapse set off a chain reaction of delays; through ongoing renovations, the site has become a tension between expected luxury and its dismal current state.
Originally scheduled for reopening in 2020, the iconic Waldorf Astoria has faced years of setbacks, ultimately aiming to lure wealthy investors through exclusive high-end condos.
