Commanding a prestigious position at the end of The Mall opposite Buckingham Palace, the hotel will feature 100 elegantly designed rooms and suites, along with 17,500 sqft of residences. Hilton, in partnership with Reuben Brothers, is meticulously restoring the Grade I listed monument to its former glory, while honouring the building’s storied past. Originally commissioned by King Edward VII in memory of his mother Queen Victoria, Admiralty Arch was designed by Sir Aston Webb, who also worked on the façade of Buckingham Palace, and was completed in 1912.
Reflecting the brand’s enduring commitment to culinary innovation, Waldorf Astoria London Admiralty Arch will showcase restaurants by globally celebrated chefs Clare Smyth MBE and Daniel Boulud. Together holding seven Michelin stars, the two chefs will bring an unprecedented level of culinary excellence to the hotel when it opens its doors.
Coreus will be Clare Smyth’s fine-dining celebration of the United Kingdom’s bountiful seas, coastal regions, and farms. Café Boulud, located on the rooftop, will be an all-day dining destination, offering Café Boulud breakfast classics, signature pastries, speciality drinks, and afternoon tea, followed by lunch and dinner menus highlighting the restaurant’s hero dishes.
In addition to signature restaurants and bars, guests will be invited to unwind in a world-class spa offering a curated selection of treatments and wellness programmes and state-of-the-art fitness facilities. A collection of grand and intimate event spaces - including a magnificent ballroom accommodating up to 320 guests - will provide an exceptional setting for landmark occasions
