Hilton Worldwide continues to develop its luxury brand, by opening an emblematic property at the destination.

After adopting the Trianon Palace de Versailles (see our article) for its collection, the brand Waldorf Astoria continues to pursue growth in special destinations. Hilton Worldwide has announced the opening of a new luxury hotel in the city of Jerusalem. This will be the first property under the Hilton brand in the capital and the third in Israel, after the Hilton Eilat Queen of Sheba and Hilton Tel Aviv.

Designed to be an emblematic property in the destination for the group, the Waldorf Astoria Jerusalem is located on the site of the former Palace Hotel, which until 1935 had been one of the most renown properties in the capital. With 226 rooms and suites, meeting spaces and several leisure installations it is scheduled to open in 2015 (swimming pools, fitness rooms, saunas...).

The Waldorf Astoria Hotels & Resorts brand consists of five-star hotels in an international portfolio of 24 landmark destinations: 15 in the United States, 2 in China, 2 in the Caribbean, 5 in Europe, 4 in the Middle East and one in Panama.
