Waldorf Astoria Ras Al Khaimah brings a journey of refinement and elegance as you immerse yourself in the unparalleled experience of timeless luxury. Experience the beginning of a new era as this prestigious luxury resort invites guests to create unforgettable memories once again.
After an extensive refurbishment, this iconic resort has unveiled 203 keys in total, including 149 beautifully appointed guest rooms and 54 suites with breathtaking views. Also refurbished during the stunning transformation are nine restaurants and lounges, extensive outdoor space for private events and weddings, and the resort’s golden masterpiece, the legendary six-metre Waldorf Astoria clock in the heart of the lobby. This stunning clock showcases a pearlised domed glass dial with a captivating aquamarine centre, complemented by gold-plated Whitehurst 7 day mechanical movement. Paying homage to its Arabic roots, it features rotating prayer rings for precise prayer times. Crafted by Smith of Derby over eight months with three tones of metal, steel, and champagne gold, it bears an inscription from ancient Bedouin songs for added historical significance.
One of the most notable changes to the footprint of the resort is the new look of the guest rooms and suites. The design of the spacious and well-appointed suites, with notes of greens and blues inspired by the waters of the Arabian Gulf, meet the needs of today’s luxury travellers, with unparalleled experiences and elevated personalised service.
An exciting stay also awaits the resort’s smallest guests with a junior check-in, special amenities, and a dedicated children’s club with a varied, fun-filled programme. In addition, the resort’s unique concierge programme, Little Hotelier, allows children to step into the world of hospitality for a day and learn new skills while creating beautiful memories during their stay.
Guests can now explore interactive culinary journeys in nine enhanced restaurants, lounges, and bars. This includes the signature Japanese restaurant UMI, known for its authentic sushi, entertaining Teppanyaki demonstrations, and the UAE’s largest sake collection, as well as the American-style steak house Lexington Grill & Bar, popular for its dry-aged, tender steak and a wide selection of the best wines and creative cocktails. The resort’s dining scene also introduces a new concept of Ras Al Khaimah’s first cigar bar Sijar Lounge. Additionally, guests and residents alike can explore the newly-revamped Sunset Beach Lounge, where evenings come alive with vibrant DJ entertainment and breathtaking sunsets. Executive chef Michael Kreiling has created exquisite menus tailored to each venue, ensuring a truly exceptional dining experience.
This magnificent resort introduces a stunning ballroom designed to elevate your wedding experience. This sophisticated space, which can accommodate up to 400 guests in style, sets the perfect stage for unforgettable celebrations of love and romance.
“The reimagined Waldorf Astoria Ras Al Khaimah brings refined accommodation to guests seeking a unique experience and the epitome of Arabian hospitality. We want our guests to not only experience a luxury stay but an unforgettable journey that resonates with them long after their departure,” said Adrian Stoppe, general manager of the iconic luxury hotel.
