Hilton announces Waldorf Astoria Scarlet Bay, the brand’s first resort in Greece, expanding its luxury presence on the Peloponnese

Hilton announced today the signing of Waldorf Astoria Scarlet Bay following a management agreement with Royal Group Holding. This new property marks the luxury brand’s first property in Greece, joining Waldorf Astoria Hotels & Resorts properties in nearly 20 countries worldwide.

Located on the Peloponnese, a peninsula in southern Greece known for its mountains, beaches, and cuisine—and home to Ancient Olympia, birthplace of the Olympic Games where the torch is still lit today—the new Waldorf Astoria resort will offer guests refined service, including a personal concierge to handle every detail.

Dan Wakeling, Vice President, Development, Luxury & Residences, EMEA, Hilton, said, “This debut marks a significant milestone for Hilton as we continue to rapidly expand our presence across Greece, where we now have more than 60 hotels trading and pipeline under eight brands and through Hilton’s partnership with SLH. Known for its rich cultural heritage, natural beauty, fantastic food, and welcoming people, Greece is a world class destination, and we’re excited to be further building our portfolio here with this stunning luxury hotel.”
