A sense of the place

Why it's in the collection

Because the Old Post Office is the grandest building on Pennsylvania Avenue you can sleep in – sixteen-foot ceilings, a clock tower with bells, and four-star standing for the hotel and its spa alike.

  • 1100 Pennsylvania Avenue NW, in the Old Post Office – Romanesque Revival, built 1892-1899 to the design of Willoughby J. Edbrooke – opened as a Waldorf Astoria on June 1, 2022.
  • 263 rooms including 35 suites, with 16-foot ceilings and original hardwood floors; the Presidential Suite, the Waldorf Townhouse and the Franklin Suite at the top.
  • Peacock Alley, The Bazaar by José Andrés and Sushi Nakazawa, and a 10,000-square-foot spa in the former mailroom.
  • The 270-foot clock tower and its Bells of Congress, taken over by the hotel and reopened to the public on August 1, 2026.
