Waldorf Astoria Hotels & Resorts is a luxury hotel brand within the Hilton portfolio, tracing its heritage to the original Waldorf Astoria New York, which opened in its current Park Avenue location in 1931. The original Waldorf Hotel was established in 1893 by William Waldorf Astor, and it merged with the adjacent Astoria Hotel in 1897 to form the Waldorf-Astoria. The brand is owned and operated by Hilton Worldwide Holdings, headquartered in McLean, Virginia. The Waldorf Astoria name has been synonymous with luxury hospitality in the United States for over a century, and the brand has expanded globally to encompass approximately 30 properties across North America, Europe, the Middle East, and Asia-Pacific. Waldorf Astoria properties are defined by their True Waldorf Service philosophy, which emphasizes anticipatory, personalized guest care delivered by extensively trained staff. The brand's culinary program, Peacock Alley, pays tribute to the famous promenade in the original New York hotel. Properties range from historic landmark buildings to contemporary architectural statements, with each hotel maintaining the brand's standards for spacious accommodations, premium amenities, and distinctive dining concepts. The brand has expanded into branded residences at several locations. Room rates at Waldorf Astoria properties generally start above $400 per night, varying significantly by location and season.
