Hilton Worldwide has signed a management agreement with the Al Hamra Group for the Waldorf Astoria Ras Al Khaimah – the second Waldorf Astoria Hotels & Resorts property in the Middle East following the 2005 opening of the Qasr Al Sharq in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. The hotel, which is scheduled to open towards the end of this year, is being designed to resemble a palace and will be located in the newest and most upscale area of Al Hamra, west of Ras Al Khaimah and approximately 40 minutes drive from Dubai International Airport. It will be part of a mixed-use development that includes an 18-hole championship golf course, a 600-metre private beach and convention centre with capacity for 3000 people. The 349-room hotel will offer state-of-the-art facilities, including a number of outdoor swimming pools. The hotel will also feature a 450-square-metre ballroom, as well as a varied choice of 10 restaurants and bars, of which four will offer fine dining. A bespoke spa experience has also been developed for the property. Guests will also have access to the recently opened shopping mall located within the Al Hamra development.”The Waldorf Astoria Ras Al Khaimah is the perfect hotel to mark the brand’s entry into the UAE and further strengthens our partnership with Ras Al Khaimah. We are looking forward to extending our brand portfolio in the UAE, with the addition of the Waldorf Astoria, and to welcoming guests to this “palace” retreat later in the year,” commented Rudi Jagersbacher, president, Middle East and Africa, Hilton Worldwide.
