Answer:

Waldorf-Astoria Hotel

Step-by-step explanation:

John Jacob Astor IV – the co-founder of the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel – died in the sinking of the RMS Titanic on April 15, 1912. Astor made his fortune in real estate, building the Astoria hotel in 1897 – which was regarded at the time as the world's most luxurious hotel.
