Short but sweet visit

South Bend, Indiana

My husband and I stayed at the Waldorf Astoria last night while seeing a Cubs Game. I used a rewards night but still got upgraded to a deluxe king rather than a standard room. The room was very spacious with a seating area and gas fireplace as well. I would definitely take advantage of it in cooler weather. The bathroom was large, and decorated with marble. I appreciated the deep soaking tub which was separate from the shower. The bed and bedding were great, but I didn't doubt for a moment that they would be. The staff was polite, and texted me when my room was available. I wish I could say more about the place, but I didn't have a chance to visit the spa or restaurant. We were only in town for a brief trip. I would not hesitate to stay here again.

the reinvention of the WALDORF brand continues to dazzle...

from the the moment you arrive in the private courtyard you feel like you're living the luxe life, but you're paying for it. our chic junior suite with fireplace had views in the distance of LAKE MICHIGAN. the staff was very attentive. breakfast was not included, but as a diamond member we were given a small credit for coffee in the cafe. turning lemons into lemonade, it was a great excuse to try TEMPO CAFE around the corner, and indulge in some inexpensive and delicious "whole pan" omelettes for a hearty brunch. it's an expensive place to stay with not many amenities, but was very comfortable and stylish so a good choice if your budget allows.

Great anniversary stay!

My husband and I stayed at the Waldorf Astoria to celebrate our wedding anniversary and could not have been more impressed. The hotel facility and lobby are beautiful - exactly what you would expect from a high end hotel. Our room, a deluxe suite, was beautifully decorated and champagne awaited us. The bathroom was a true highlight! The shower has great water pressure and the soaking tub is really luxurious. All in all, a great anniversary stay-cation!

High end hideaway in the middle of everything

Cleveland, Ohio

We stayed 2 nights in early September and were pleased. The hotel itself is gorgeous, from the moment you pull into the private courtyard, through check-in, and all the way to your room. Elegant and classy without being gaudy or pretentious. On site dining establishments are superb. We did the Prix Fixe at the Margeaux Brasserie. The french onion soup is among the best I've ever had. Floyd the barman is fantastic and an asset to the establishment. The concierge Amanda was responsive and helpful, I highly recommend the VIP chocolate board. The only issue we experienced was that portions of the mens Spa facilities (the "hot" items) were under construction and not accessible during our stay. Nothing was mentioned about this during booking or in correspondence prior to our arrival. This was a let down as that was a significant draw for our stay. The front desk made arrangements allowing us to use the facilities of a nearby (less than 5 minute walk) spa free of charge for the duration of our stay, which was greatly appreciated. The house car is a fantastic service with chauffeur and vehicle both being very pleasant. I would give the property 4.5 stars if that were an option, but since it isn't I gave 5 as that is closer to the mark than 4 would have been. Would love to visit again when the spa is complete to enjoy the full range of the hotels offerings.

Great Hotel near Magnificent Mile

Newport Beach, California

Great location within easy walking distance to great eateries and to the lake. Service is excellent and the Bistro Margaux is fantastic. Ask about the Bartender's daily special cocktail. The no tipping policy makes it very comfortable for everyone.
