AVENEW Development, a real estate pioneer based in Dubai, has partnered with Hilton to establish Waldorf Astoria Dubai Islands and Waldorf Astoria Residences Dubai Islands, bringing the renowned luxury brand to one of the city’s most sought-after coastal locations.
The project aims to strike a balance between residential comfort and the brand’s hallmark service, bringing to the Dubai Islands the timeless luxury and renowned hospitality of Waldorf Astoria. It will offer meticulously designed living areas that seamlessly blend architectural brilliance with practical elegance, providing a genuinely unique and sought-after experience.
In addition to 150 tastefully furnished guest rooms and suites, the Waldorf Astoria Dubai Islands will offer a carefully chosen array of dining options, such as a rooftop restaurant, an all-day dining area, a pool lounge, a specialty restaurant, a signature bar, and the well-known Peacock Alley. Building on the brand’s heritage of outstanding service and elegant design, guests will also take advantage of upscale lifestyle options like an outdoor pool, a kids’ pool and club, a fitness center, and a peaceful spa.
The 120 branded homes that make up Waldorf Astoria Residences Dubai Islands will provide a unique selection of luxuriously equipped apartments. In addition to complete access to the hotel’s amenities, owners will enjoy individualized services and amenities that guarantee comfort, convenience, and privacy.
With the agreement, AVENEW’s exclusive portfolio has grown significantly. It is now the company’s second branded home on the Dubai Islands and its sixth property in the master-planned waterfront neighborhood. The action carefully leverages Dubai’s well-established position as a global leader in the upscale hospitality and branded residential industries.
From a minor sector, the branded housing segment has developed into one of the top asset classes in the world. AVENEW Development combines its forward-thinking vision with the allure of one of the most eagerly awaited coastal locations in the region by bringing Waldorf Astoria Residences to Dubai Islands. This strategic alignment creates communities that encourage progress, improve lifestyles, and last for generations while providing a unique residential offering.
Rasha Hassan, Managing Partner of AVENEW Development, positioned the initiative as a strategic move: “This collaboration is a direct response to the structural shift in global wealth and the sophisticated demands of the modern buyer. The Waldorf Astoria Residences Dubai Islands are not merely real estate; they are best-in-class homes designed to deliver enduring value supported by a globally recognised service standard. Our strategy is to work with brands that ensure asset quality, predictability, and above all, long-term desirability in a market. Dubai has successfully redefined the real estate proposition on a global scale.”
Carlos Khneisser, Chief Development Officer, MEA, Hilton, said, “Waldorf Astoria has long set the benchmark for luxury in the world’s most sought after destinations. We are delighted to be working alongside AVENEW Development to introduce an iconic Waldorf Astoria hotel and branded residences to Dubai Islands. This signing represents another exciting step as we expand our luxury portfolio across the region, and reinforces the growing momentum of our branded residential offering. We look forward to welcoming guests and residence owners to experience the unparalleled luxury and personalised service that define Waldorf Astoria.”
The company’s dedication to building homes that are celebrated rather than just inhabited is demonstrated by AVENEW Development’s most recent landmark. Each residence reflects the legendary history of the Waldorf Astoria and is designed for individuals seeking a life characterized by classic elegance, flawless design, and unparalleled service.
