Hilton Hotels has announced today that it has signed an agreement to manage the Waldorf Astoria On The Bund Shanghai. The hotel will be located in the heritage building on the famous Bund in Shanghai and is scheduled to open in 2011.
The 266-room property will be the first Waldorf Astoria hotel in the region, and marks the start of a projected expansion of the Hilton’s luxury brands – Waldorf Astoria, Waldorf Astoria Collection and Conrad Hotels & Resorts - across Asia.
Martin Rinck, President Hilton Hotels Asia Pacific, commented; “This is an extraordinarily exciting project that epitomizes our commitment to expanding our luxury offerings in the region. The Bund is a significant part of Shanghai’s vibrant history and there could not be a better location for the first Waldorf Astoria hotel in Asia.”
