These signings mark an incredible moment for our luxury brand portfolio as we expand Waldorf Astoria, Conrad, and LXR throughout five countries in the region, offering even more opportunities for travellers to immerse in our authentic approach. From Waldorf Astoria’s intuitive service to Conrad's bold design and LXR’s culturally immersive experiences, the hotels continue to showcase innovation and deliver on what guests are looking for in their stay. This expansion reinforces the appeal of the brands globally and is a true testament to the team members who bring luxury to life.
