Here are The 10 Cheapest Waldorf Astoria Hotels in the world

Where the Empire State Building proudly stands today, there once stood a hotel that opened about 130 years ago. This hotel was the original Waldorf Astoria, which was demolished in 1929 to make way for the iconic skyscraper. It then relocated to 301 Park Avenue, and Conrad Hilton acquired its management rights, eventually purchasing the entire hotel. Fast forward to 2006: Hilton decided to create a luxury brand, named after this legendary hotel. Over the past 20 years, nearly 40 Waldorf Astorias have opened worldwide, with around 15 more set to open in the next 3 years.

But enough with the history lesson. The question we set out to answer is: Where are the most affordable Waldorf Astoria hotels located? Here’s our answer:

Info
We do not claim that these prices are available year-round. Also, we may have missed a hotel, as we couldn’t check every date at every hotel. But the list should be roughly accurate. If not, let us know in the comments.

Bonus: Here are 5 more fairly affordable Waldorf Astoria properties:

• Waldorf Astoria Bangkok, Thailand, starting at $308 (~$308)

• Waldorf Astoria Berlin, Germany, starting at $322 (~$322)

Conclusion
First of all, good luck finding an affordable Waldorf Astoria in the southern hemisphere. That being said, the destinations on this list are surprisingly attractive. While the Middle East is only affordable during the (incredibly hot) summer, being able to stay in such a luxury hotel in cities like New Orleans, Bangkok, or Berlin for less than $336 is quite a deal.
