The incomparable "Astor Suite" is so named as it was home to John Jacob Astor during the 1930's. With soaring ceilings, grand scale and enormous picture windows overlooking Central Park and Grand Army Plaza, it retains the elements that subsequently made it the Plaza's Presidential Suite. The apartment is a grand size with 4,284 square feet. The living room, library and dining room are all magnificent rooms and each faces Central Park. The master bedroom suite, also overlooking the Park, is huge and offers a dressing room, sumptuous his and her master baths with a tub overlooking the Park, plus two walk-in closets each the size of a bedroom. The formal dining room with rotunda faces the Park and Fifth Avenue and easily accommodates several dining tables. The eat-in kitchen is a chef's delight. There are two additional guest bedrooms, each with a full bath and walk-in closet. Once you experience the Astor Suite you will understand why it was the suite deemed grand enough for presidents. |
