Hilton’s flagship luxury brand Waldorf Astoria will be making its entry into the United Arab Emirates’ capital city following a landmark deal with Aldar.

The Eastern Mangroves hotel will be transformed into a 167-key property comprised of guest rooms and suites. 

Waldorf Astoria Abu Dhabi will be just a short walk from the Mangrove National Park, a vast forest perfect for a nature-focused escape. Visitors can also experience the forest by kayaking, stand-up paddleboarding or boating through the park’s main water channel.

Also close by are cultural attractions such as the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque, the Louvre Abu Dhabi and the Qasr Al Watan Presidential Palace, as well as the Abu Dhabi Corniche, downtown Abu Dhabi and Zayed International Airport.

The hotel will also feature food and beverage options including a brasserie, a rooftop speciality restaurant, a pool lounge, and the celebrated Peacock Alley.

Other amenities include three swimming pools (adult, family, and kids), a fitness club and a spa. In addition, the property’s two ballrooms and five meeting rooms will be designed to reflect a grand yet intimate sense of place, creating an elegant atmosphere where guests can enjoy memorable meetings and events.

The Abu Dhabi Waldorf Astoria will bolster Hilton´s existing portfolio of more than 35 hotels in the UAE, including three under the Waldorf Astoria brand.

The Waldorf Astoria is timed to coincide with Abu Dhabi’s tourism plan, with plans to welcome more than 39 million visitors by 2030.
