From the moment we arrived until the moment we left the Waldorf Astoria, every moment was welcoming and magical! we were celebrating our 50th wedding anniversary and wanted some thing truly special, and this was it in spades! The valet parking attendant comped our parking, the front desk celebrated our 50 year accomplishment, the beautiful bedroom and bath were luxurious, as were the bathrobes and slippers provided. The King size bed was was a dream from the moment we slipped under the covers and sent us searching for how we could reproduce it in our home, along with the glorious walk-in marble shower!
A trip to the spa floor was warm and inviting and brought us in contact with the amazing concierge, Sukru. This lovely gentleman oozes charm and warmth in abundant proportions, and led me personally to the saltwater lap pool. The pool was enclosed with marble columns on one side and a glass wall leading to an outside garden on the other. The bedroom bath robes, were terry cloth on the inside and felt like silk on the outside, so they were perfect for the pool excursion as well as the bedroom.
When we came down for breakfast we were greeted again by Sukru and escorted to the dining room where we met our Brazilian host, who also joyously celebrated our anniversary. Our sumptuous breakfast included a lovely bottle of champagne from the amazing Sukru, and a decadent chocolate dessert from our waiter. A final photograph by Sukru ended our fabulous stay. We will return!!
