20th rich folks compete building hotels.
21sr rich people competing with rockets.
I love how rich people are one upping each other through building glamorous hotels.
I always used to wonder about the Knickerbocker's origin story when I passed it. Thanks Bright Trip! :)
You're so welcome 😊
How did they build such beautiful buildings in the 1890's?
Thanks so much man , just started working with their branch in Egypt 🇪🇬 and you have been a great help here 👍 👏
Interesting! My aunt got a divorce in a Waldorf Astoria. Her husband apparently had 2 other whole entire families, kids and all that were kept a secret. She found him in a Waldorf with one of them. May have lost her marriage but she got a pretty sweet lump sum out of it! Now she's retired in a mansion in south Florida. Woo, go aunt Jen! Cheers to that!
Wow. What a story. Go aunt Jen!
Wow!

YESSSS
Can't believe they just casually demolished luxury hotels and mansions in New York back in the day, so much waste 😪
I visited the huge nyc public library on 42nd street and seen original oil paintings of the Astor family. It brought me here.
That’s amazing! Adding it to the list of things to see…. ✍️
A really fascinating story.
True!
I would like to read about the waldorf-astoria hotel detective black books. They are at the library in new york.
William tore down his mansion and built the Waldorf specifically to annoy and upset his aunt. He also moved to England and became Viscount Astor.
Hey I know him
Cool guy
