Hilton has last week signed a new management agreement for a Waldorf Astoria in Greece—the brand’s first in the country. The hotel is set to open in 2029.

Located on the Peloponnese—a historically rich peninsula in southern Greece known for its mountains, beaches and cuisine, as well as the home of Ancient Olympia—Waldorf Astoria Scarlet Bay will have 121 guestrooms and suites, all with sea views. Upon opening, the property will also offer branded residences across 13 villas.

Beyond the rooms, travelers can indulge themselves in wellness experiences at the Waldorf Astoria spa. Additional facilities include indoor and outdoor pools (with the main pool offering views of the sea and the coastline towards the island of Spetses), plus a tennis court, fitness center and kids club.

During their stay, guests will enjoy thoughtfully curated culinary experiences, including the signature Peacock Alley, a main restaurant, beach club restaurant, lobby lounge and coffee shop.

Said Dan Wakeling, vice president, development, luxury and residences, EMEA, Hilton: “This debut marks a significant milestone for Hilton as we continue to rapidly expand our presence across Greece, where we now have more than 60 hotels trading and pipeline under eight brands and through Hilton’s partnership with SLH.

“Known for its rich cultural heritage, natural beauty, fantastic food and welcoming people, Greece is a world class destination, and we’re excited to be further building our portfolio here with this stunning luxury hotel.”
