The creator then showcases a newly renovated hotel room and ends the video by enjoying room service, a concept the hotel invented.

Today is day three of checking out the best hotels in New York City, and behind me is the biggest hotel opening of the year. The Waldorf Astoria in New York opened at this location in 1931, and now it's back in even bigger style. It took eight years and $2,000,000,000 to bring this hotel back to life. Every Waldorf Astoria has a peacock alley. Correct. That's correct. And a clock that is typically the center point of the hotel. This is the clock that was commissioned by Queen Victoria presented at the Chicago World's Fair in 1893. How many pieces are in the wheel of life? 148,000. Wow. When the ballroom opened, it was the largest gathering place. One of the largest social gathering places in all of here too. We are now in the historic Grand Ballroom, which really served as a centerpiece to historic Grand Ballroom, which really served as a centerpiece to New York's social center. Conrad Hilton was like, this is tier greatest of them all. In one day, I will own this hotel. In tier, I was able to purchase the hotel. You said every president has stayed here since Hoover? Every president from Hoover through Obama. The original Waldorf had more than 1,400 rooms. Now it's been reimagined with only 375, and they are some of the largest in the tier. Frete des Chutes included. So the Better of Astoria actually invented twenty four hour room service back in 1931. A small slice of olive oil cake and one scoop of vanilla ice cream. Rank you so much for watching, and we'll see you on the next tour.
