History

In January 2006, Hilton Hotels, Inc announced it would launch a luxury brand called The Waldorf Astoria Collection, branded after the flagship The Waldorf Astoria in New York City. In 2014, this property was sold to Anbang Insurance, while Hilton still manages the hotel under its brand. Some of Hilton's properties carry the "Waldorf" name in their title, but are not part of the Waldorf Astoria chain -- The Waldorf Hilton, London being an example.

As of April 2007, there were four properties--the Arizona Biltmore in Phoenix, La Quinta Resort & Spa in La Quinta, California, The Waldorf Astoria in New York and the Grand Wailea Resort & Spa in Wailea, Maui, Hawaii. Later in 2007, the Qasr Al Sharq in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, was added to the portfolio. The next property to join the portfolio was the Rome Cavalieri, a rebranding and upgrading of the Cavalieri in Rome, Italy, in early summer 2008. During the fall of 2008, three Florida hotels, located in Boca Raton, Key West and Naples, were also added. In July 2009, the Dakota Mountain Lodge opened in Park City, Utah; it later dropped the "Dakota Mountain Lodge" title and is now known simply as Waldorf Astoria Park City. It is the first ski resort to join the portfolio. In January 2014, the first Waldorf Astoria opened doors in Dubai, on the Palm Jumeirah. In March 2014 the Waldorf Astoria Beijing opened its doors. May 1, 2014 Waldorf Astoria Amsterdam received its first guests.

In October 2014, the Hilton Worldwide Holdings announced the sale of the Waldorf Astoria New York Hotel to Chinese Anbang Insurance Group for $1.95 billion. The Hilton group continues to operate the hotel under a 100-year management contract with the buyer. This sale had a negative impact on the hotel's reputation, raising suspicions that China would put surveillance equipment in the hotel. In September 2015, president Barack Obama decided not to stay at the Waldorf Astoria New York because of Chinese spying threats.

In January 2017, The Waldorf Astoria Dubai complained about Russian models taking erotic pictures in the hotel and posting them on Instagram with hashtags mentioning the hotel.
