Waldorf Astoria Hotels & Resorts announced the signing of the new Waldorf Astoria Dubai International Financial Centre. The property is scheduled to open in the latter half of 2017 as one of 25 global brand properties. The hotel, located only a short drive from the airport (DBX), will join residential, retail and business space in a mixed-use development. It will offer 247 guestrooms, several restaurants, a spa and a wellness center. Event space will include a ballroom and four meeting rooms. “Our luxury presence in the Middle East is further bolstered by this superb addition in the Dubai International Financial Centre, and joining the UAE’s Dubai Palm Jumeirah and Ras Al Khaimah where we already welcome guests with True Waldorf Service,” said John T.A. Vanderslice, global head, Waldorf Astoria Hotels & Resorts. “In the coming years we are set to open in new locations around the world, from Beverly Hills to Bangkok and Bali — as Waldorf Astoria continues to set the standard for international luxury travel.” Hilton Worldwide, Waldorf Astoria’s parent company, plans to open a wide variety of its brands in the Middle East during the current and upcoming years.

Apr 17, 2024Amansara Review
It was more than a car journey; it was a transition between worlds. At our first hotel in Siem Reap, huge coaches constantly pulled up outside the lobby to deposit or receive international tour groups; we departed in very different style, in a 1965 black Mercedes limousine once owned by King Sihanouk.
