History
[edit]In January 2006, Hilton Hotels Corporation announced that it would launch a luxury hotel chain called The Waldorf Astoria Collection, branded after its flagship Waldorf Astoria hotel in New York City.[2] In July 2009, the Dakota Mountain Lodge opened in Park City, Utah; it later dropped the "Dakota Mountain Lodge" title and is now known simply as Waldorf Astoria Park City. It is the first ski resort to join the portfolio.[3]
In January 2014, the Waldorf Astoria Dubai Palm Jumeirah opened in Dubai, on the Palm Jumeirah.[4] In October 2014, Hilton Worldwide announced the sale of the Waldorf Astoria New York hotel to Chinese firm Anbang Insurance Group for $1.95 billion. The Hilton group continues to operate the hotel under a 100-year management contract with the buyer.[5]
In March 2024, Hilton announced its expansion of the Waldorf Astoria brand into branded residences, with the first standalone residence project outside the USA planned for Downtown Dubai, aiming for a 2028 opening in collaboration with NABNI Developments and designs by Carlos Ott Architects and Hirsch Bedner Associates.[6]
