New Waldorf Astoria Resort Opens In Cancun

Hilton has announced the highly anticipated opening of Waldorf Astoria Cancun in Mexico. 

The 173-room luxury resort is set among the mangroves of the Yucatan Peninsula. It offers panoramic ocean views, world-class dining and destination-worthy offerings. 

The opening of this new luxury resort marks the 200th hotel in the Caribbean and Latin America for Hilton. It’s also the first Waldorf Astoria hotel in the Mexican Caribbean and the second in the country.

“The opening of the newly built Waldorf Astoria Cancun marks an important milestone for Hilton as we continue our rapid expansion in Mexico,” said Danny Hughes, Executive Vice President and President of Americas, Hilton. 

Located just 10 miles from the airport and 19 miles south of Cancun’s famous Hotel Zone, the luxury hotel sits on 100 acres of Mayan coastline.

Situated on a secluded beach behind a mangrove nature preserve, the luxury hotel offers the perfect balance of Mexican heritage and modern sophistication. With an abundance of things to do, the Waldorf Astoria Cancun boasts the perfect Caribbean getaway.

“By bringing luxury hotels to such highly desirable destinations in Mexico, we continue to evolve our offerings to better serve our guests,” said Matt Schuyler, Chief Brand Officer at Hilton.
