At a time when New York was the stronghold of fashion and culture in the world, the Waldorf Astoria set new standards and became the epitome of luxury hotel business. The heart of the house was and is the famous “Peacock Alley”, translated as “Allee der Pfauen”, a magnificent walkway that connected the once separate hotels “Waldorf” and “Astoria”. Then as now, “See and be seen” was the rule here for the beautiful and rich. Be it a bar, lounge, café or corridor, “Peacock Alley” serves to bring people together, to meet and exchange ideas.
