The Waldorf Astoria hotel in New York City derives its name from its original location, the Waldorf Hotel, which was built by German immigrant George C. Boldt in 1893. The hotel was named after the Waldorf family, who owned the land where the hotel was constructed. In 1897, the Astoria Hotel was built adjacent to the Waldorf, and the two were later combined, adopting the name Waldorf Astoria to reflect both establishments. The hotel has since become synonymous with luxury and elegance.
