"Paris Hilton dined in a balcony booth at José Andrés’s newest D.C. restaurant inside Hilton’s Waldorf Astoria hotel in September 2023. Joined by Hilton CEO Chris Nassetta (another celebrity in his own right), she was in town to discuss her family’s legacy in the hospitality industry at Hilton’s McLean headquarters." - Vinciane Ngomsi, Tierney Plumb
"Superstar chef and global humanitarian José Andrés fulfilled his decades-long dream of opening a restaurant inside downtown’s historic Old Post Office Pavilion last year. His Beverly Hills-born Bazaar checked into the newly minted Waldorf Astoria with a parade of avant-garde delights like “Jose” tacos topped with ibérico ham, gold leaf, and caviar; tortilla de papatas “new way” topped with potato foam; Chinese steamed buns with pork belly; and bite-sized “cotton candy foie gras” made famous in LA. Chesapeake Bay delicacies also show up in an artsy array of a la carte snacks and tapas. The two-level stunner puts a glossy jamón carving station on full display upon entry alongside dry-aged smoked fish and poultry." - Tierney Plumb, Emily Venezky
"In true Waldorf Astoria fashion, the lobby-level bathroom that caters to customers at the Bazaar by José Andrés is decked out in marble countertops, crystal sconces, and gold finishes. For the full royal treatment, Aesop soap and linen-feel towels await by the sink. New parents will also appreciate finding a dark-wooden changing table and diaper dispenser next to the ornate, full-length mirror." - Abi Newhouse, Nicole Schaller, Eater Staff
