A symbol of elegance and luxury, the hotel has hosted countless movie stars, business tycoons, and world leaders over the past ninety years.American Hotel takes us behind the glittering image to reveal the full extent of the Waldorfs contribution toward shaping twentiethcentury life and culture. Historian David Freeland examines the Waldorf from the opening of its first location in 1893 through its rise to a place of influence on the local, national, and international stage. Along the way, he explores how the hotels mission to provide hospitality to a diverse range of guests was put to the test by events such as Prohibition, the anticommunist Red Scare, and civil rights struggles.Alongside famous guests like Frank Sinatra, Martin Luther King, Richard Nixon, and Eleanor Roosevelt, readers will meet the lesserknown men and women who made the Waldorf a leader in the hotel industry and a key setting for international events. American Hotel chronicles how institutions such as the WaldorfAstoria played an essential role in New Yorks growth as a world capital.

I thought this book would be more of a guide to the hotel, but it's more of a history book. Interesting, but not what I was looking for. Delivery was also slower than I hoped.

Intriguing but Somewhat Dry
I enjoyed the historical aspects of the Waldorf-Astoria, but some parts felt a little sluggish. Still worth the read for anyone interested in classic hotels!

Beautifully Crafted Book
The presentation of this book is just gorgeous! I bought it as a gift for my parents who honeymooned there, and they loved flipping through the pages. Great quality!
