The Waldorf Astoria – Building Details
Once a fashionable entry point to bohemian Yorkville, The Waldorf Astoria started off as a hotel in the 1950s but was later converted into a residential building.
Synonymous with glamour and prestige, the Waldorf Astoria offers sublime suites and an array of excellent amenities.
The Waldorf is minutes away from the swanky shops and restaurants of Yorkville, the lush greenery of Rosedale, and the electric nightlife of Church and Wellesley.

The 454 sq. ft. suite is the perfect pied-a-terre (i.e. a temporary or secondary residence) for business people, students and travellers.
Unit 204 also has the luxury you come to expect from the Waldorf Astoria name.
There’s also a variety of lovely light fixtures.
Unit 204 also has an abundance of natural light.
Some of Unit 204’s best lighting can be seen in the kitchen.
