Hotel information

The Waldorf Hilton has an illustrious history dating back almost a century. Since its opening in 1908, the Waldorf has dominated the Aldwych skyline and is a living tribute to its Edwardian creators. Today, it is a Grade II listed building, a jewel of Aldwych. The hotel’s 58-metre (190-feet) frontage boasts 8 granite columns and balustrades, as well as 2 roof domes. There are 2 famous theatres located on the hotel's corners: Novello Theatre on the west wing and the Aldwych Theatre on the east wing. In the past few years the The Waldorf Hilton has undergone an extensive refurbishment programme to restore the property to its former glory, complemented by a contemporary feel and the latest technology for the modern-day guest. The Waldorf Hilton is proud to be celebrating its 100-year anniversary in 2008 and thrilled to welcome guests to this magnificent building during such a special time.

Room information

Offering some of the best luxury The Waldorf Hilton rooms to be found in London’s West End, all Waldorf Hilton rooms are equipped with the latest technology and come in 2 distinct styles: contemporary and design. Contemporary rooms retain some selected historic features, whereas the design concept provides superb accommodation combined with an immaculate environment, creating a minimalist, clutter-free feel. All rooms feature exclusive Ligne Roset beds (with a luxury mohair throw), 2 telephone lines, a wall-mounted plasma-screen TV, lever door handle, climate-controlled air conditioning, rechargeable in-room laptop safe, original freestanding Edwardian chrome and marble wash-stand (in contemporary rooms), a bespoke cutting-edge wash-stand with ceramic sit-on basin (in design rooms), power jet or rain drop showers, Crabree and Evelyn toiletries, and an ergonomically designed desk chair. The ceiling pendant, with flexible silver branches supporting an array of individually lit shades, can be configured differently in each room. Please see individual room details for a further list of in-room facilities.

Food & beverage

The Waldorf's restaurant, Homage, is designed to be relaxed, glamorous and with its unique position on the Aldwych, a little theatrical. Homage serves classical dishes, as well as contemporary favourites. The wine list is predominantly old-world European and, like the food, it is both accessible and affordable. The Homage Grand Salon restaurant features Louis XVI-style decor, with original Ionic columns and a walk-in wine cabinet. Homage Patisserie is classic and sophisticated with wood-panelled walls and period furniture. Waldorf's renowned afternoon teas, with freshly made cakes, scones and vienoisserie prepared daily by Waldorf’s executive chef patissier, can be enjoyed there. The Homage Bar, the trendy and avant-garde addition to London's night-life scene, serves signature gin-based cocktails, as well as all the classics.
