Dajia Moves to Sell New York’s Waldorf Astoria After Multibillion-Dollar Renovation

The state-controlled owner is expected to hire Eastdil Secured to start marketing the hotel as early as next month.

Overview

  • The offering would cover the hotel’s restaurants, shops and amenities, while newly built condominiums continue to be sold separately.
  • The Park Avenue landmark reopened in late 2025 after an eight-year overhaul that cut the room count from about 1,400 to 375 and created 372 residences.
  • Total outlays exceeded $4 billion since the 2014 $1.95 billion purchase, yet the seller does not expect to recover all costs.
  • Hilton manages the property under a 100-year agreement, and the company says hotel operations will continue under its current flag.
  • People familiar with the plans say only a small pool of buyers, potentially including sovereign wealth funds, could afford the expected billion-plus price.
