The Waldorf Towers is a pre-ADA historic hotel. Thus, while the hotel has taken action to make the hotel as accessible as possible to guests with disabilities, the main entrance has steps and guests with disabilities may need to enter the hotel through an alternate entrance. Additionally, navigating throughout the property may require additional assistance. Our management and property team is trained to assist our guests so that they may fully experience our hotel.
