LAS VEGAS - Today, Las Vegas, one of the world’s most dynamic cities, celebrates the highly-anticipated arrival of Hilton’s (NYSE: HLT) iconic luxury brand, Waldorf Astoria Hotels & Resorts. Waldorf Astoria Las Vegas Hotel & Residences brings a new spirit to The Strip, where graceful service meets modern luxury and intrigue transforms into unexpected moments. Waldorf Astoria Las Vegas Hotel & Residences, formerly Mandarin Oriental, is operated by Hilton Management Services and will be reimagined with newly-styled rooms and redesigned public spaces in 2019.
“Las Vegas continues to be one of the most celebrated and exciting cities in the world, and a destination where visitors seek both extraordinary and remarkable moments,” said Martin Rinck, executive vice president and global head, Luxury & Lifestyle Group, Hilton. “The Waldorf Astoria Las Vegas – delivering on an unrelenting commitment to True Waldorf Service – will be the perfect environment for guests visiting Las Vegas who want to Live Unforgettable and create ever-lasting memories that will extend beyond their stay at the hotel.”
Located in the heart of the Las Vegas Strip, Waldorf Astoria Las Vegas is steps from world-class shopping and entertainment and neighbors the 20,000 seat T-Mobile Arena.
“Two remarkable personalities are being united as Waldorf Astoria arrives in the legendary city of Las Vegas,” says Donald Bowman, General Manager. “With this meeting of two icons, we can afford guests with tailor-made moments, offering inspirational environments both within the hotel and throughout our exciting city.”
