Month against month

The cheapest night of each month at the Waldorf, November 2026 to June 2027

10 dated nights from one reading, the tax worked out, and what the hotel’s own pages add.

The hotel’s own pages, read on 11 October 2026, print no nightly rate. What can be read is Google Hotels: on 5 October 2026 its calendar for one night and 2 adults ran from 12 November 2026 to June 2027, with no prices from July on. Each figure is the lowest Google showed for the night, before tax and without a room category. Of that reading we kept the lowest night of each month: $1,203 for Friday 20 November 2026, $1,590 for Wednesday 23 December, $874 for Monday 11 January 2027, $899 for Monday 1 February, $1,343 for Sunday 21 March, $1,474 for Sunday 11 April, and $1,526 for both Sunday 9 May and Sunday 6 June. The dearest night in the whole calendar was Saturday 12 December 2026, at $4,176.

Read in order, those floors draw a curve: 2 months under $900 after New Year, a climb of about $450 into March, and a plateau just above $1,500 from May. December holds both the highest monthly floor and the peak, 11 days apart. 6 of the 8 cheapest nights fell on a Sunday or a Monday, and none on a Saturday.

For one night the reading went further and listed the sellers. For Thursday 12 November 2026 the hotel’s own link asked $1,554, as did Expedia and Booking.com; Traveluro had $1,492, the figure the calendar showed. The hotel’s total for that night, as that reading recorded it, was $1,786.76. The $232.76 on top is New York’s 14.75% plus $3.50 a night to within a few cents, with no destination or resort fee beside it. At that tax the $874 of 11 January becomes about $1,006, the $1,526 of May and June about $1,755, and the $4,176 of 12 December about $4,795.

The offers page, read on 11 October 2026, is where the price can be moved. Extended Escape, which its page offers «for limited time», takes 33% off the Best Available Rate for a stay of 3 nights or more. November State of Mind, for stays from 30 October to 30 November booked at least 48 hours ahead, comes with a $250 hotel credit for food, drink or the spa; its list calls the credit daily and its terms say it applies once per stay, so ask which before counting on it. Bed and Breakfast adds a credit of $60 a person, up to $120 a guestroom, towards breakfast in the hotel’s restaurants.

A car is the largest fixed extra: valet parking is $110 a night for a standard vehicle and $125 for an oversized one, with no in-and-out privileges. Wi-Fi is free for all hotel guests, check-in is at 4pm and check-out at noon. On points, the hotel’s own answer is a redemption rate that starts at 150,000 Hilton Honors points a night.

Guests’ Google reviews put their own numbers on it. One, in August 2026, calls $2,000 a night ridiculous and the hotel lovely, having stayed on a free-night reward. Another that month had paid $3,000 for 2 nights and complains of slow Wi-Fi. A guest who booked in order to preview the hotel for clients wrote in September 2025 of an asking price of $1,500 and more a night, and of service that did not match it. A guest in January 2026 notes that the spa’s facilities cost a further $75 a person a day, and one in September 2025 that Peacock Alley then set a minimum of $75 a person.
