2 concierges at New York's most iconic hotel share the craziest requests they ever received from guests

New York City's Waldorf Astoria is one of the most famous hotels in the world. Over 85 years of operation, its suites have hosted every US president since Herbert Hoover, and its towers have counted Hollywood legends Sophia Loren, Elizabeth Taylor, and Frank Sinatra among its residents.

With such star-studded guests, the staff who works behind the desks of the towers have received some pretty outrageous requests, all of which they've fulfilled with a gracious attitude and a smile.

As the Waldorf Astoria prepares to close for a period of renovations starting March 1, Business Insider paid a visit to concierges Michael Romei and David Ibarra to hear their stories.
