At Waldorf Astoria New York, mornings have always meant more than sunrise over Park Avenue —they’re a continuation of a legacy that helped define modern hospitality. Now, the iconic hotel invites guests to experience a taste of history in an unforgettable new way with The Waldorf Astoria Wake Up, a limited time in-room brunch experience from Hilton Honors and American Express that blends history and indulgence into one seamless moment of luxury.
Available on stays now through Feb. 17, 2026 (blackout dates apply, see below), guests of Waldorf Astoria New York can enjoy a one-of-a-kind in-room dining experience featuring a selection of classic Waldorf Astoria New York dishes reimagined with a modern twist. As part of this special offering, a white gloved attendant prepares the hotel’s legendary Waldorf Salad bedside. The ritual is both nostalgic and contemporary: the crisp, hand-tossed salad harks back to the dish created in the 1890s by maître d’ Oscar Tschirky, yet today’s version has been thoughtfully enhanced. The curated in-room brunch for two includes:
- Eggs Benedict with Caviar
- Waldorf Salad
- Red Velvet Pain Suisse
- Freshly brewed coffee
- A split bottle of Ruinart Blanc de Blancs champagne
This experience pays tribute to the hotel’s pioneering spirit. Waldorf Astoria New York didn’t just popularize dishes like the Waldorf Salad and Eggs Benedict—it also helped revolutionize hospitality by introducing 24-hour room service in 1931, setting a new standard for elevated comfort.
