There are now three Waldorf Astoria properties in the UAE
Waldorf Astoria has opened a new hotel in Dubai International Financial Centre (DIFC), its third property in the UAE, Hilton has announced.
The 275-key hotel occupies the 18th to 55th floors of the Burj Daman complex. Of the rooms, 46 are suites and 28 are residential suites which offer unobstructed views of the Downtown Dubai skyline.
“We are delighted to expand our luxury presence in the region with the opening of Waldorf Astoria DIFC, which is located in an important economic hub within the region,” said Rudi Jagersbacher, Hilton’s president for the Middle East, Africa and Turkey.
The addition of the Waldorf Astoria to DIFC comes at a time in which the area is rapidly expanding, with an additional 13 million sq ft to be developed following Dubai Ruler Sheikh Mohamed bin Rashid Al Maktoum’s announcement of the launch ‘DIFC 2.0’ earlier this year.
The hotel – which was inspired by the architecture and style of the 1960s – also includes a number of F&B options, including Waldorf Astoria’s signature Pull & Bear, as well as a French Riviera-inspired rooftop and a separate lounge and bar.
The property also features a spa and a “library concept” which houses an open kitchen.
“We are thrilled to bring Waldorf Astoria to DIFC and offer True Waldorf Service in such a thriving and dynamic within the city,” said Dino Michael, the global head of Waldorf Astoria Hotels & Resorts.
Waldorf Astoria also operates the Waldorf Astoria Dubai Palm Jumeirah and Waldorf Astoria Ras Al Khaimah.
