Waldorf Astoria ready to shine again


WHEN the Waldorf Astoria New York opened on Oct 1, 1931, it was “the biggest and most elegant and luxurious hotel in the world.” That’s according to the gregarious Italian who runs it today, general manager Luigi Romaniello.

He’s spent much of his tenure at the Waldorf revisiting its history. After all, it’s been closed for the entire time that Romaniello has been on the job. But now he’s ready to cut the ribbon on the hotel’s next chapter.
