High Season in Dubai & Abu Dhabi

Higher, more iconic, more luxurious

Only the sky is the limit for Hilton's luxury brands Waldorf Astoria and Conrad. But new insider experiences for insiders are also breathtaking.

Dubai continues to surprise the world with visions that are hardly thought possible - but now a project is underway that will set new standards even in this city of superlatives. Where the skyline is already dominated by spectacular hotels and luxurious resorts, a building is emerging that will break all previous boundaries. A symbol of the future of ultra-luxury that will not only change the architectural skyline of Dubai, but also the understanding of living, lifestyle and exclusivity.

A palace in Business Bay

With the new Waldorf Astoria Residences Dubai Business Bay, one of the most legendary brands in the hotel industry is expanding its claim to absolute world class. Waldorf Astoria, part of Hilton Hotels Corporation, is synonymous with elegance, service perfection and unparalleled luxury. Now the brand is taking this DNA to a new dimension with the new Waldorf Astoria Residences Dubai Business Bay. With the ground-breaking ceremony in June 2025, the new era has begun, which will manifest itself in an iconic 65-storey building in 2029.
will manifest itself. Designed by star architect Carlos Ott and fitted out by Hirsch Bedner Associates, the tower will redefine the skyline as the second tallest residential building in the Downtown/Business Bay district. The 146 residences are divided into three collections, from signature apartments to the majestic Sky Palace, which rises over four floors and offers a 360-degree panorama of Dubai - with direct views of the Burj Khalifa, private lobbies and leisure facilities such as the world's highest golf-in-the-sky simulator, swimming pools and an exclusive spa, this project sets spectacular standards.

Elegance in the heart of Dubai

This vision of the future connects seamlessly with the Waldorf Astoria Dubai International Financial Centre - a hotel that has set new standards for luxury city hotels since its opening. Located right in the center of the vibrant financial district, it combines classic elegance with modern understatement. The spacious rooms and suites offer panoramic views of Downtown Dubai, while the spa, rooftop pools and award-winning signature dining create an unparalleled experience. The Bull & Bear restaurant in particular has long since established itself as a meeting place for the international elite. The Waldorf Astoria DIFC is the embodiment of discretion and glamor - an oasis in the midst of urban dynamism.

Conrad - two cities, one signature

If the Waldorf Astoria stands for classic grandeur, then Conrad is the avant-garde of cosmopolitan luxury. The Conrad Dubai, located directly on Sheikh Zayed Road, impresses with contemporary design, spacious suites and a lush Urban Oasis Garden with extensive pools. Gourmet restaurants and bars create a meeting place for connoisseurs, while the spa promises unparalleled relaxation. In Abu Dhabi, the Conrad Etihad Towers continues the signature style: majestic architecture on the Corniche beach, award-winning gastronomy, private beaches and a panorama that is second to none. Those who reside or stay here are immersed in a world of sophistication and exclusivity. With these hotels, Hilton is present in the luxury segment in both Dubai and Abu Dhabi.

Outlook - Waldorf Astoria Abu Dhabi

But the journey is not over yet: Abu Dhabi's first Waldorf Astoria Residences are being built on Yas Island, flanked by the Yas Links Golf Course and overlooking the legendary Yas Marina Circuit. Apartments and spacious penthouses combine iconic design with first-class services. The capital's first Waldorf Astoria hotel will also open by 2030 - a transformation of the Eastern Mangroves Hotel into a refuge of 167 suites overlooking the Mangrove National Park. The Waldorf Astoria projects in Abu Dhabi will set another milestone for exclusive living and travel, making it clear that the future of luxury in the Middle East will bear the Hilton name.
