The Waldorf=Astoria Collection

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Waldorf=Astoria Collection is a collection of what the Hilton Hotels Corporation considers to be its premiere, most luxurious and most identifiable hotels and resorts.

In January 2006, Hilton Hotels, Inc, announced it would launch a luxury brand called the Waldorf=Astoria Collection, branded after the famous Waldorf=Astoria Hotel in New York City, called the most powerful hotel name in the world.[1] Hilton Hotels declared that the new brand will create luxurious business hotels and resorts worldwide, exceeding the chain's current luxury brand, Conrad Hotels.[2]

As of April 2007, there are 4 landmark properties - the Arizona Biltmore in Phoenix, La Quinta Resort & Spa in La Quinta, California, the Waldorf=Astoria in New York and the Grand Wailea Resort & Spa in Maui, Hawaii. In 2007, the spectacular Qasr Al Sharq in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia was added to the portfolio. The company plans to further expand the Waldorf-Astoria line by building hotels in signature world cities including Chicago, Paris and Singapore, as well as adding more resorts and some existing Hilton and Conrad properties to the Waldorf=Astoria Collection. The next property to join the portfolio will be the Rome Cavelieri, a rebranding and upgrading of the Cavalieri Hilton in Rome, Italy in early summer 2008.
