Hilton, a global leader in the hospitality industry, has recently announced the signing of a branding and management agreement with Wine Country Hospitality Partners LLC to bring a new luxury resort to the Lone Star State.
A region and resort to remember
Waldorf Astoria Texas Hill Country is expected to open in 2027 and will introduce the brand’s elegant service to the emerging Fredericksburg destination, which is located just under two hours outside of Austin and San Antonio. Texas Hill Country is the most popular wine-tasting destination in the state and the second-most-visited wine region in the United States—so it’s safe to say, your glass will never go empty.
Managed by Hilton, the hotel will offer 60 guest rooms and suites, 37 branded multi-bedroom resort villas, and 50 branded private residences.
Design and amenities
Designed in collaboration with Studio CABAN, FAB Studio, TIPLER Group, Studio Outside, and Paul Duesing Partners, Waldorf Astoria Texas Hill Country promises to be visually stunning—inside and out—set against the backdrop of a gorgeous countryside landscape.
Hotel features will include two pools, outdoor courtyards, a Kids Club, and thoughtfully created programs. Delivering on Waldorf Astoria’s commitment to culinary excellence, guests can look forward to five food and beverage experiences:
- All-day dining restaurant with locally inspired menus
- A specialty restaurant showcasing regional cuisine
- A sophisticated bar and lounge for evening drinks and conversation
- Relaxed poolside bar for light refreshments
- A convenient grab-and-go juice bar for fresh and tasty options
For wellness enthusiasts, the resort will boast more than 11,000 square feet (3,352 square meters) of spa and fitness facilities, including 10 treatment rooms and sport courts. A total of 6,000 square feet (1,828 square meters) will be dedicated to indoor meeting spaces for business travelers, and 4,000 square feet (1,219 square meters) will make up an event barn.
“Waldorf Astoria Texas Hill Country’s signing marks a monumental milestone for Hilton and is integral to both our growth in the state, which represents Hilton’s largest hotel portfolio in the U.S., and Hilton luxury brands portfolio expansion across the Americas,” said Amy King, Vice President of Luxury and Mixed-Use Development, Hilton.
Waldorf Astoria Texas Hill Country will join the iconic brand’s portfolio of more than 30 properties globally with more than 30 in the pipeline. Upcoming opening highlights include Waldorf Astoria New York, Waldorf Astoria Costa Rica Punta Cacique, Waldorf Astoria Osaka, and Waldorf Astoria London Admiralty Arch.
