The Waldorf Astoria New York is one of the world’s most iconic hotels. Its first iteration opened in 1893, and when it moved to Park Avenue in 1931, the location became the largest and tallest hotel in the world (at the time). It has since changed the way hotels operate and what guests expect from a luxury hotel. WALDORF ASTORIA NEW YORK The Waldorf Astoria New York also claims a lot of “firsts.” It was the first hotel to have telephones in rooms, and it introduced the concept of room service. It even created some of the world’s most iconic dishes: the Waldorf salad, red velvet cake and eggs Benedict. The hotel’s guest list alone, whether they stayed overnight or attended grand balls, is enough to prove the significance of the hotel. Notable visitors include nearly every single U.S. president as well as Winston Churchill, Frank Sinatra, Marilyn Monroe, Grace Kelly and Queen Elizabeth II.

Editor’s note: This is a recurring post, regularly updated with new information and offers. American Express Membership Rewards will end transfers to HawaiianMiles on June 30. This means you only have a few days left to transfer Membership Rewards points to Alaska Airlines Mileage Plan — one of the most valuable yet hardest-to-earn airline loyalty currencies.

That’s because Alaska Airlines Mileage Plan offers some of the best award rates on short-haul domestic flights and transatlantic business-class flights from the East Coast.
