Waldorf-Astoria Hotel - Other Waldorf Astoria Hotels

Other Waldorf Astoria Hotels

In 2006, Hilton Hotels announced plans to build a second Waldorf Astoria near Walt Disney World in Florida, and in 2007, plans were announced that another Waldorf Astoria would be built in Beverly Hills, where Santa Monica Boulevard and Wilshire Boulevard cross. A combination hotel and condominium Waldorf-Astoria Hotel and Residence Tower was announced by third parties to be developed for Hilton in Chicago, but has been canceled.

The Elysian Hotel in Chicago has been renamed the Waldorf Astoria Chicago.

In November 2008, a referendum in Beverly Hills, California was voted on to determine whether developer Oasis West Realty LLC will be allowed to expand the nine-acre site of the Beverly Hilton Hotel, recently owned by the late Merv Griffin, at the intersection of Wilshire and Santa Monica boulevards. Expansion plans include removing some buildings and adding an 8-story condo, a Waldorf-Astoria named 12-story hotel, and another 18-story condo tower. The Beverly Hills City Council had approved the $500 million project by a 3-2 vote. Local resident opponents led by a group called Citizens Right to Decide Committee gathered enough signatures to place the referendum on the November 4, 2008, ballot with the argument "It's Just Too Big." Los Angeles County election officials reported a week after the vote that local Measure H was losing by 68 votes, with provisional ballots yet to be counted. On December 2, 2008, yes on H passed by 129 votes. Yes: 7972. No: 7834.

2012 will see the conversion of the Caledonian Hilton Edinburgh completed with the hotel becoming "The Caledonian - A Waldorf Astoria Hotel."

In 2013, Waldorf Astoria Hotels & Resorts will open new properties in Amsterdam, Berlin, Jerusalem and Panama.
