Waldorf Astoria Ras Al Khaimah has ramped up its sustainability efforts by cleaning up the ‘Pink Lake’ in Ras Al Khaimah. The hotel dedicated thirty staff to aid in the clean-up of the newly discovered ‘Pink Lake’ on the shoreline of Saraya Island in Ras Al Khaimah.

With the viral phenomenon taking the UAE by storm, many residents and visitors flocked to the destination, and have left behind remnants of plastic and other environmentally harmful materials.

First discovered by a UAE student in January 2021, the ‘Pink Lake’ in Ras Al Khaimah quickly gained attention from residents across the UAE. It radiates a vibrant hue, largely due to the Halobacteria and the algae Dunaliella Salina, which thrives in a salty environment.

A total of 520 kilograms of waste was gathered during the drive. Jan Moenkedieck, general manager of the hotel commented: “We want to protect the natural beauty of Ras Al Khaimah as much as we can, which is why we put a team in place to assist in the collection of the litter around the ‘Pink Lake’. These efforts are in alignment with Hilton’s commitment to cut its environmental footprint in half by 2030.”

With audio guides available in Arabic, English, and Russian, guests can unravel the history of the Waldorf Astoria brand and hear some of the fabulous stories that shaped its history including the ‘meet me at the clock’ expression, that originated following the Titanic tragedy with The Astoria Clock becoming a common meeting point for those affected.

Sayad Ibrahimli, Waldorf Astoria Ras Al Khaimah cluster director of marketing and PR said: “Many do not know the fascinating story behind Waldorf Astoria, whether it relates to the brand’s foundation over a century ago or more recently, with the opening of this marvelous property. We wanted to share bite-sized pieces of this with our guests and hope this innovative virtual tour will enhance their experience with us”.

Once the tour has finished, guests will be able to enjoy one of the finest afternoon teas in the iconic Peacock Alley. The spread will include a selection of seasonal sandwiches, light and fluffy scones with cream and jam as well as delectable patisseries.

We are always seeking to delight our guests with new services, experiences and I hope ‘Meet me at the Clock’ will be one they will thoroughly enjoy for the year to come”

Afternoon Tea, a quintessentially British tradition dating back to 1840, has enjoyed global popularity ever since. Pay homage to this tradition and its legacy by indulging in a wonderful selection of sweet and savoury treats, that were showcased during the opening of the first Waldorf Astoria hotels, as they are now.
