Hilton has signed a deal to open Waldorf Astoria Hotels & Resorts’ third property in Mexico. The new-build Waldorf Astoria San Miguel de Allende is expected to open in early 2025 with 120 guestrooms and 24 branded residences. The property is owned by Peakair Group, is being developed by Skyplus Developments Corp. and will be managed by Hilton.
“As global interest in luxury travel continues to rise, we are perfectly positioned at the forefront of the trend by expanding our offerings to welcome the discerning traveler in new and highly desirable destinations across the Caribbean and Latin America,” said Juan Corvinos, SVP, development, architecture and construction, Caribbean and Latin America, Hilton. “We are excited about the growth of our portfolio in the region and introducing our distinct brands in landmark locations, such as San Miguel de Allende. The city’s timeless surroundings and recognition as a luxury vacation spot make it a natural fit for the Waldorf Astoria Hotels & Resorts brand.”
The Waldorf Astoria portfolio includes more than 30 hotels and resorts and 18 residential properties either open or in development. The addition strengthens Hilton’s luxury portfolio in Mexico, which already includes the Waldorf Astoria Los Cabos Pedregal, Conrad Punta de Mita, Conrad Tulum Riviera Maya and the recently opened Waldorf Astoria Cancun. Hilton has approximately 90 hotels and resorts across 12 of its brands in the country and approximately 25 additional properties make up the development pipeline.
Waldorf Astoria San Miguel de Allende will be located within a UNESCO World Heritage site, within walking distance of the historic Parroquia de San Miguel Arcángel church in the city’s main center plaza.
“San Miguel de Allende has been recognized as one of the most enchanting cities in the world in recent years, and we are thrilled to marry that appeal with the iconic Waldorf Astoria brand, which is known for its sense of place and community for guests,” said Dino Michael, SVP and global head, luxury brands, Hilton. “Hilton’s growing luxury portfolio in Mexico, including two Conrad Hotels & Resorts properties and two Waldorf Astoria Resorts, has been met with incredible guest satisfaction, and we look forward to creating even more opportunities for travelers to discover the destination through unforgettable experiences at Waldorf Astoria San Miguel de Allende.”
Public spaces at the property will include a fitness center with yoga and meditation areas, clubs for kids and teens, a spa and a rooftop space with pools and relaxation areas. The hotel also will have an on-site art gallery and local artisan crafts store. Food and beverage options will include three restaurants, two bars and a coffee shop.
Throughout the Caribbean and Latin America, Hilton has a portfolio of 200 hotels and a development pipeline of more than 100 hotels in various stages of design and construction.
