But the Waldorf Astoria has also been closed for the past four and a half years, undergoing a more than $1 billion renovation after it was purchased for $1.95 billion in 2014 by China's Anbang Insurance Group (now Dajia Insurance Group). While parts of the hotel are being restored to its original state - rooms including the Grand Ballroom are protected by New York City's Landmarks Preservation Commission - much of the building is being entirely reimagined for the future.
