About Waldorf Astoria
The Waldorf Astoria in New York gave its name to the salad and hosted every American president from Hoover onwards. Hilton manages the brand, while the New York building itself was bought by a Chinese insurer in 2014. Hilton continues to operate the brand under a long-term management agreement, so the name and the building have had different owners since 2014.
