Waldorf Astoria London – Admiralty Arch has opened reservations ahead of its highly anticipated debut, marking a defining milestone for Waldorf Astoria in the United Kingdom. Set within one of London’s most iconic Grade I listed monuments, the hotel will introduce overnight stays in Admiralty Arch for the first time in its history.
Positioned on The Mall opposite Buckingham Palace in St James’s, the 200,000-square-foot restoration transforms a landmark deeply embedded in Britain’s ceremonial heritage into an intimate luxury hotel and residences. Commissioned by King Edward VII in memory of Queen Victoria and designed by Sir Aston Webb, the building has long stood as a symbolic gateway to the capital, now reimagined as a contemporary expression of Waldorf Astoria luxury.
Destination Dining by Michelin-Celebrated Chefs Clare Smyth MBE and Daniel Boulud
Waldorf Astoria London – Admiralty Arch will feature two signature restaurants led by globally acclaimed chefs Clare Smyth MBE and Daniel Boulud. Coreus by Clare Smyth will celebrate British coastal heritage through refined, sustainably sourced seafood and seasonal produce, complemented by an intimate Whiskey & Seaweed bar concept inspired by her signature culinary storytelling. Café Boulud will bring Daniel Boulud’s all-day dining philosophy to the rooftop, spanning breakfast, afternoon tea and dinner, set against panoramic views across St James’s Park and Buckingham Palace. Together, these dining destinations reinforce Waldorf Astoria’s legacy of pairing world-class culinary talent with landmark locations.
Guest Rooms, Residences & Experiences
The hotel will feature 114 elegantly designed rooms, suites and residences, with more than half of the accommodation dedicated to expansive residential-style spaces. Each room is thoughtfully crafted to reflect the building’s historic architecture while delivering Waldorf Astoria’s signature service and contemporary luxury.
A collection of grand event spaces, including a ballroom designed for celebrations and cultural gatherings, will be complemented by a discreet spa and wellness offering designed for privacy, restoration, and personalised care in the heart of London.
