Bang & Olufsen announced an exclusive partnership with Waldorf Astoria Residences New York, the highly anticipated new collection of contemporary residences atop the legendary hotel, opening by the end of 2024. The new residences are part of the Waldorf Astoria’s expansive restoration, offering unprecedented luxury and first-class amenities within the historic framework of the beloved hotel.
Future residents of the new 375 luxury condominiums have the opportunity to purchase their home fully furnished as part of an existing turnkey furniture program, which will now also include a full suite of audio-visual products from Bang & Olufsen. Designed by celebrated residential interior designer Jean-Louis Deniot and starting at $1.8 million, the condominiums offer furniture packages in two distinct light and dark color palettes, which will carry throughout the residences from the furnishings, wall coverings, and table linens to the Bang & Olufsen product installation.
“Bang & Olufsen and Waldorf Astoria are natural partners in the luxury space as two premium heritage brands,” notes Rick Costanzo, Vice President of Bang & Olufsen Americas. “Both companies seek inspiration from our rich brand histories to cater to a cosmopolitan, modern clientele and this partnership is a perfect example. The homes at Waldorf Astoria Residences New York blend Old World sophistication with modern amenities like our curation of world-class audio-visual products.”
The premium Bang & Olufsen products carefully selected for Waldorf Astoria residents include Beolab 8, Beosound 2, Beosound Balance, Beolab 18, and Beosound Theatre. The curated selection will be offered in Gold Tone and Light Oak and Natural Aluminum and Dark Oak to complement the light and dark design options for the residences, which range from studios to four-bedroom apartments and will be available by the re-opening at the end of the year. A selection of these products can be experienced within the iconic Waldorf Astoria Residential Gallery and forthcoming model residences. Future residents can also schedule a private appointment with a dedicated Bang & Olufsen brand specialist at the Residential Gallery or at the newly opened Bang & Olufsen Flagship showroom at 540 Madison Avenue conveniently located a 5-minute walk away – contact details below.
“Providing future residents with an opportunity to select home entertainment and audio packages prior to closing further enhances the ease of moving into a fully furnished, richly appointed Waldorf Astoria residence,” said Carolyn Sebba, Senior Director of Sales & Marketing.
Inspired by the hotel’s classic grandeur, the residences balance modern comfort with Art Deco opulence; a blending of the old and the new that is distinctive to both the Waldorf Astoria and to Bang & Olufsen. Design and craftsmanship are fundamental values for both brands, something that is evident in the thoughtful curation of this partnership.
