The Waldorf Astoria has been a beacon of timeless glamour for nearly a century—home to Hollywood’s elite, host to countless world leaders, and the site of famed cultural events and galas. Celebrating 90 years open on Park Avenue this year, the building now offers the first ever opportunity to actually own a residence within the property at The Towers of the Waldorf Astoria.
When the Waldorf Astoria opened in October of 1931, it was the largest, tallest, and grandest hotel in the world - built in only a year during the Great Depression. 1931 was a golden age in Art Deco architecture, as the Waldorf Astoria and other iconic New York buildings such as the Empire State Building, on the site of the original Waldorf Astoria on Fifth Avenue, opened within months of each other. Renowned architects Schultze & Weaver, whose other masterpieces include the Sherry-Netherland and The Pierre in New York City, the Biltmore in Los Angeles, and The Breakers in Palm Beach, designed the building that became known as the “unofficial palace of New York.”
Now, the property is in the midst of an unprecedented restoration by developer Dajia Insurance Group and renowned architects Skidmore, Owings & Merrill, to reopen as a 375-key hotel and 375 condominium residences to be known as The Towers of the Waldorf Astoria. With sophisticated residential interiors and amenities by internationally renowned designer Jean-Louis Deniot, residents will have access to over 50,000 S/F of private residential amenities and all of the services of the Waldorf Astoria New York hotel.

WHAT TO EXPECT
Detoxify faster: Infrared heat is 7x more detoxifying than regular heat. That means instead of just sweating out water, you’re also sweating out toxins that normal saunas don’t have the power to do.
Calmness: Infrared heat allows your body to produce an abundance of calming chemicals. You’ll step out of your blanket feeling happier, less stressed, and you’ll enjoy deep sleep.

Broken Shed Vodka, New Zealand’s award-winning, super-premium vodka, today announced its new U.S. creative campaign, “The Vodka of Tomorrow.” The campaign pays tribute to the vodka’s home country by highlighting that, thanks to time zone differences, it’s already tomorrow in New Zealand. And when you’re crafting The Vodka of Tomorrow, you make sure it tastes ahead of its time, too.
Sustainably distilled with the purest New Zealand mountain mineral water, spring water, highest quality whey - and nothing else - Broken Shed Vodka was created to show the world what vodka can be, rather than what people think it should be. It has the clean, crisp taste that can only come from the land where tomorrow begins.
“We developed this new campaign to inject a little New Zealand character and give our U.S. consumers a taste of the ingenuity and forward-thinking that Kiwis are known for,” said Jean-Marie Heins, chief marketing officer of Broken Shed Vodka. “We’re expanding our footprint across the states and introducing new consumers to a smooth, modern product without any additives, sweeteners or GMOs. It’s never too early to cheers to tomorrow!”
Waiakea is the first super-premium, triple bottom line Hawaiian volcanic water of its kind. Created to sustainably provide naturally healthy Hawaiian volcanic water (sustainably sourced from one of the purest locations on Earth), while contributing to and promoting clean water access, conservation, and education for those in need in Hawaii and throughout the world.
Responding to the growing individual demand for its transformable furniture, for the first time Ori is offering its award-winning Cloud Beds directly to New York City-Metro Area consumers. Previously available only to real estate developers, Ori’s signature Cloud Bed is designed to effortlessly transform spaces traditionally designed for a single purpose, and turn them into multi-use spaces on demand. In about 30 seconds, the Cloud Bed, Sofa Edition transforms between a bedroom and a living room; while the Cloud Bed, Table Edition transforms between a bedroom, a dining area, home office, or game room -- all on demand, at the touch of a button or with voice command.
“Delighted residents in more than 50 apartment buildings located across the country are living with Ori products, experiencing the profoundly positive impact effortlessly transforming space can have for those living in compact settings,” said Hasier Larrea, Founder & CEO of Ori. “But we know we can reach so many more people by bringing our products directly to them. Now we get to do that, by offering our Cloud Bed to homeowners living in the most populous city in the U.S. where space is at its most limited and expensive”
Cloud Beds are available in King or Queen sizes, and in Tall or Short height options depending on the room’s ceiling height. Ori provides “white glove service” for its Cloud Beds, which can easily be installed in just about any room with a ceiling height of at least 8’6’’. Cloud Beds feature integrated power outlets, LED ambient lighting, and ample integrated storage. And, like all Ori products, the Cloud Bed is UL certified with built-in safety features that include constant monitoring of the motors, obstacle protection and a manual power-loss mode.
The Cloud Bed is available to experience in person at the Ori Design Studio in the Brooklyn Navy Yard or virtually at OriLiving.com, where customers can get an estimate and reserve their Cloud Bed. Once reserved, an Ori Space Designer will personally guide a customer through a process that includes a complimentary home visit to ensure proper sizing and fit. Pricing for the Cloud Bed starts at $16,000; financing is available for qualified purchasers. The first 25 customers will receive free shipping and installation, a savings of at least $2,600.
