The Waldorf Astoria London Admiralty Arch transforms one of London's most iconic buildings—the venerable Admiralty Arch at the end of The Mall—into a new luxury hotel. Located directly opposite Buckingham Palace, the property combines British tradition, iconic history, and contemporary hospitality to create a destination that is significant for Londoners and international guests alike.
The rooms and suites are specially designed to combine history and comfort. Classic elements from the historic building are combined with modern furnishings and contemporary materials to create rooms with character and a high level of comfort. Many accommodations offer impressive views of iconic London landmarks such as Buckingham Palace or Trafalgar Square. The rooms feel spacious, clearly structured, and discreetly luxurious—always in keeping with the context of a listed building.
Culinary delights are deliberately a central experience at the Waldorf Astoria London Admiralty Arch. Under the leadership of acclaimed chef partners Clare Smyth MBE and Daniel Boulud, several culinary concepts are being developed that utilize both locally sourced ingredients and international techniques. Coreus—a modern fine dining seafood concept—celebrates Britain's maritime products at the highest level, while Café Boulud combines French classics with a contemporary twist and offers all-day hospitality. These are complemented by bars and lounges that combine history, mixology, and stylish encounters.
The location of the Waldorf Astoria London Admiralty Arch makes it the ideal starting point for exploring the city: walks along The Mall take you right past Buckingham Palace, the National Gallery and Trafalgar Square are in the immediate vicinity, and the Royal Opera House and West End theaters are within easy reach. At the same time, the hotel's public areas, terraces, and bars offer space for informal meetings, conversations, or a relaxed end to a day in the city. Whether cultural highlights, shopping, or classic sightseeing routes—activities begin right outside the door.
