The White House 1600 Sessions: White House History and the Waldorf Astoria New York

There are few places outside of the White House that are as deeply connected to the American Presidency as the Waldorf Astoria New York. For almost a century, this luxury hotel has welcomed every U.S. President since Herbert Hoover through its elegant Art Deco doors on Park Avenue. After leaving office, President Hoover even lived in the Waldorf Astoria Residence for more than three decades before his passing at the age of 90. White House Historical Association president Stewart McLaurin was joined in the newly renovated Waldorf Astoria Residences New York by guests David Freeland, author of American Hotel: The Waldorf-Astoria and the Making of a Century and Jasmin Howanietz, the Executive Director of Sales at the Waldorf Astoria. The hotel and residence underwent an almost eight year renovation, reopening in 2025. The White House Historical Association is thrilled to be a partner in the creation of the Presidential Library at the Waldorf Astoria Residences New York, a private amenity for the residents that features a curated collection of books and artifacts that bring presidential history to life. Take a peek inside and learn about the rich history of diplomacy that has taken place inside the rooms of the Waldorf Astoria during sessions of the United Nations General Assembly, see a few of the items gifted by U.S. presidents after their stay in the Presidential Suite - including a rocking chair from President John F. Kennedy - and find out why President Richard Nixon loved the Waldorf Astoria so much that he booked the ballroom for his 1968 Election Night party.
