The Waldorf Hilton details:
In the heart of London's West End, only a 5-minute walk from Covent Garden and Trafalgar Square, this luxury iconic hotel became 100 years old in 2008.
The Waldorf's perfect location offers quiet and calm right next to the cultural hub of 'Theatreland', with the latest dazzling shows, boutique shopping and famous London landmarks.
The city’s financial district is just 3.2 km (2 miles) away, and the hotel features an executive lounge and 24-hour business centre, to act as an ideal base for a business guest.
Homage at the Waldorf provides some of the best modern European and British cuisine in an elegant setting. This includes the Grand Salon restaurant and the Patisserie, with Waldorf's famous afternoon tea. A bar serves special gin cocktails.
All guests can enjoy free access to an on-site leisure club featuring swimming pool, steam room, sauna and modern fitness suite.
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 hotel 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.
