Isidore and Joan Schwartz stayed at the Waldorf Astoria Hotel in New York City, USA, on their wedding night in 1952, and when they returned in 2012 for their 60th anniversary they paid the same price as their first visit- $16.80!

Dberrymanal1: Might I suggest you take a moment to look up the Waldorf-Astoria’s web-page? The rates are relatively easy to find.
