GK Du Jour: The Private Bars of the Waldorf Astoria

In Midtown Manhattan, an epic race is underway as new luxury residential buildings strive to outdo each other with over-the-top amenities. This race isn't limited to Billionaire's Row — The Towers of the Waldorf Astoria recently announced that it will open not one, but four private, residents-only bars within its 50,000 square feet of amenities.

Some of the bars reference the hotel's most famous guests. For example, the Monaco Bar is named for Prince Rainer III of Monaco and Grace Kelly because they made their first public appearance after their engagement in the hotel. Naturally, it has an elegant regal decor befitting its namesakes.
