Amnesty
Description
Created in 2012, the Waldorf Astoria Amnesty Program called to the masses to return artifacts taken from our hotel over the last 80+ years as a way to help our rich history thrive once again. We are currently still accepting items to be donated back to us! For more information, please contact Deidre Dinnigan, Archivist at deidre.dinnigan@waldorfastoria.com.
