Residence 1909 at Waldorf Astoria Residences

There's only one Waldorf, and this is your way in. Residence 1909 is a 764 SF one-bedroom on the 19th floor, facing the building's quiet eastern courtyard. You're on Park Avenue, but you don't hear it.

Walk in and the entry foyer sets the tone right away: marble floors with brass inlays, herringbone wood floors throughout, and oversized custom-paneled doors that feel like the old hotel in the best way. The interiors are by Jean-Louis Deniot. The kitchen has Molteni&C wood and lacquer cabinetry that hides a full Gaggenau package (gas cooktop, speed oven, refrigerator, freezer and dishwasher), finished with Arabescato quartzite counters and polished nickel fixtures.

The bedroom has a big walk-in closet right next to the bath. The bathroom is wrapped floor to ceiling in Bianco Carrara marble slabs, with heated floors and a walk-in shower fitted with nickel fixtures made just for this building. There's also a powder room off the foyer for guests, a concierge closet so deliveries land safely whether you're home or not, and keyless entry.

Then there's the building. Over 50,000 SF of private amenities, a residents-only entrance with porte-cochère and valet, and 24-hour concierge. Swim in the 25-meter Starlight Pool overlooking Park Avenue, train in the fitness center's private studios, unwind in the sauna and steam rooms, and work out of the Empire Club. When friends come over, you have the Starlight Terrace, Winter Garden, Presidential Library, Monte Carlo Gaming Room, a screening theater and a children's playroom. And the hotel's services are right downstairs.

Grand Central, St. Patrick's, Fifth Avenue, MoMA and Central Park are all a short walk away. Photos don't do the foyer justice. Come see it in person.
