Both Hilton and IHG have announced exciting new projects in Abu Dhabi that will see a handful of hotels reflag.
The first major change will see the Eastern Mangroves Abu Dhabi Hotel, formerly an Anantara property, join the Hilton family as the Waldorf Astoria Abu Dhabi.
While Waldorf Astoria is represented in other emirates, including Dubai and Ras Al Khaimah, this will be the first one in Abu Dhabi.
Located near Abu Dhabi's Mangrove National Park, the hotel will feature 167 rooms and suites, three swimming pools and restaurants ranging from a brasserie to a rooftop establishment, plus Waldorf's signature Peacock Alley.
Across Abu Dhabi, on Yas Island, IHG is teaming up with Aldar, a major United Arab Emirates-based real estate company, to transform six different hotels in the Yas Plaza Hotels complex into one single resort under the Vignette Collection flag.
