Local partnerships
Hilton – the group behind the Waldorf Astoria brand – partnered with Dubai-based NABNI Developments for the project.
Waldorf Astoria Residences Dubai Downtown is set for completion in 2028 and will be located in the most populous city in the United Arab Emirates, Dubai. It will be situated on a 1.5-acre plot in Downtown Dubai.
Carlos Ott Architects has been brought on board for the project, and interiors will be done by award-winning hospitality design firm Hirsch Bedner Associates (HBA) with a Waldorf Astoria-managed luxury hospitality experience.
Along with signature resident services and over 100 years of world-class hospitality and exclusive Residence Owner Benefits including elite Hilton Honors status and more, residents will be able to enjoy the very best of Dubai’s most iconic attractions and premier luxury shopping, award-winning dining, and destination offerings such as the Burj Khalifa and world-famous Dubai Mall, all easily accessible within walking distance from Waldorf Astoria Residences Dubai Downtown.
“We are looking forward to bringing the prestige and globally renowned sophistication of Waldorf Astoria to the UAE, establishing a new benchmark of luxury living and opulence in Dubai’s real estate landscape,” said Abdulrahman Alsuwaidi, co-founder and chairman, NABNI Developments.
“Dubai is a destination of limitless possibilities, and Waldorf Astoria Residences Dubai Downtown will not only serve to embody this cultural legacy of innovative excellence but also provide a truly visionary, world-class luxury residential lifestyle experience.”
