Set at the famed crossroads of Wilshire and Santa Monica Boulevards, this recently-opened A-lister urban oasis has the wow factor turned up to the max. A contemporary interpretation of the golden age of Hollywood glamour, it abounds in Art Deco influences – the inimitable touch of legendary designer Pierre Yves-Rochon. From the triple-height lobby with its vast bronze chandelier to the luxurious guest rooms and suites, opulence is the byword. Enjoy exclusive access to a personal concierge team, available round the clock via text messaging to answer every wish and whim. Savour the finest French-American cuisine in the sumptuous restaurant named after chef-to-the-stars, Jean-Georges Vongerichten; gaze at stars both celestial and mortal in the panoramic garden style setting of Rooftop by J.G. There’s a heated rooftop pool or simply unwind in the La Prarie Spa. Without doubt, the Waldorf Astoria is the place to be seen.
