Waldorf Astoria Hotels & Resorts, Hilton’s (NYSE: HLT) iconic luxury hotel brand, today announces its upcoming debut in Mexico as it assumes operation of the award-winning The Resort at Pedregal and rebrands the iconic hotel as Waldorf Astoria Los Cabos Pedregal. Known as one of the best hotels in Mexico and recently acquired by affiliates of Walton Street Capital Mexico, the luxury retreat is set on 24 acres of dramatic mountains and pristine beaches and is primed to welcome guests with True Waldorf Service beginning Q4 2019.

Offering an unmatched level of world-class amenities, the resort features three swimming pools including an infinity pool flowing into the horizon of the Pacific Ocean, a saltwater pool and a children’s pool.

Luna y Mar Spa, which received its second consecutive Forbes Travel Guide 5 Star recognition along with the overall resort, allows guests to select from a variety of organic treatments inspired by the lunar cycle, the sea and authentic Mexican folk healing, including herbal detoxes and rose-crystal lymphatic facials. The luxurious spa offers a wellness grotto with local herbal remedies, steam rooms, saunas, ice rooms, whirlpools and a saltwater meditation pool.

  • The cliffside El Farallon offers an ocean-to-table menu developed by a culinary team that guides foodies in selecting side dishes and wine pairings against the sound of crashing waves.
  • In the center of the pool bar sits Crudo, which incorporates local flavors into casual fare including a variety of fresh ceviche and sushi for light midday meals.
  • The Beach Club is popular for its freshly caught fish and crisps, and the organic vegetables from local farmers that go into crafting featured dishes such as spiced pork belly buns and braised Angus brisket tacos.
  • Guests can arrange for a private chef in the comfort of their suites for personalized meals on their terraces or indulge in handcrafted cocktails from one of the resort’s on-demand cocktail carts available throughout the property.
