William Waldorf Astor razed his home at Fifth Avenue and Thirty-fourth Street to construct The Waldorf Hotel, which opened in March 1893.
After John Jacob Astor IV built the Astoria next door in 1897, the two hotels were run jointly as the Waldorf-Astoria.
The original hotel was closed on 3 May 1929 to accommodate construction of the Empire State Building.
A new Waldorf-Astoria was constructed on the block extending from Park Avenue to Lexington, between Forty-ninth and Fiftieth Streets and opened in 1931.
