The modern hotel has three American and classic European restaurants, and a beauty parlor, Kenneth's Salon, located off the main lobby. Several luxurious boutiques surround the distinctive lobby, which has won awards for its restoration to the original period character.

An even more luxurious, virtual "hotel within a hotel" in its upper section is known as The Waldorf Towers.

Officially, the name of the hotel, for now-historical reasons, is written as {{Unicode|Waldorf⸗Astoria}}, with a double hyphen, sometimes incorrectly rendered as an equals sign.
