I've always had good experiences with the Waldorf-Astoria. Big enough to be anonymous, not paranoid about security, though that may have changed now that it's bee sold to a Chinese company.

The Palace, The Peninsula, The Four Seasons and the Mandarin Oriental are all beautiful and do not require elevator key cards. None of the staff have ever bothered me. In fact one member of staff at The Four Seasons will call me from time to time if a special guest needs company.  

It's a shame because it was clearly once a beautiful hotel, but I personally find the Waldorf a bit neglected. Run down would be an exaggeration, but I don't think it compares to the other 5 Star Hotels in the city. But as the last commenter mentioned, the lobby is massive, so it's an easy place to blend in I suppose.

What's that? a greedy uber rate hookers with over inflated ego

Only a highly egotistical person would willing to drop information to make one think they look good and expensive.

Just like the people who keep saying they are rich and flaunt whatever they can to get attention so they can make themselves more than what they really are... She is kinda doing the same.

Classless with a over entitled attitude, only American women....lol
