Waldorf Astoria London – Admiralty Arch open for bookings | News
Waldorf Astoria London – Admiralty Arch has opened bookings ahead of its highly anticipated debut, marking a decisive milestone for Waldorf Astoria in the UK. Housed in one of London’s most iconic Grade II listed buildings, the hotel introduces overnight stays at Admiralty Arch for the first time in its history.
Positioned on The Mall, opposite Buckingham Palace in St James’s, the 200,000 square meter restoration transforms a monument deeply entrenched in Britain’s ceremonial heritage into an intimate luxury hotel and residences. Commissioned by King Edward VII in memory of Queen Victoria and designed by Sir Aston Webb, the building has long served as a symbolic gateway to the capital, now reimagined as a contemporary expression of Waldorf Astoria luxury.
Destination Dining by Michelin-acclaimed chefs Clare Smyth MBE and Daniel Boulud
Waldorf Astoria London – Admiralty Arch will feature two signature restaurants led by globally acclaimed chefs Clare Smyth MBE and Daniel Boulud. Coreus by Clare Smyth celebrates Britain’s coastal heritage with refined, sustainably sourced seafood and seasonal produce, complemented by an intimate Whiskey & Seaweed bar concept inspired by its signature culinary stories. Café Boulud brings Daniel Boulud’s all-day dining philosophy to the roof terrace, offering breakfast, afternoon tea and dinner, against panoramic views over St James’s Park and Buckingham Palace. Together, these dining destinations enhance Waldorf Astoria’s legacy of combining world-class culinary talent with historic locations.
Guestrooms, residences and experiences
The hotel will feature 114 elegantly designed rooms, suites and residences, with more than half of the accommodation dedicated to expansive residential-style spaces. Each room has been carefully designed to reflect the building’s historic architecture while offering Waldorf Astoria’s signature service and contemporary luxury.
A collection of large event spaces, including a ballroom designed for parties and cultural gatherings, will be complemented by a discreet spa and wellness offering designed for privacy, restoration and personal care in the heart of London.
