Exclusive Waldorf Astoria Hotels & Resorts are some of the best luxury hotels in the world. As part of the Hilton brand, Waldorf Astoria offers hotels in Hawaii, New York, Paris, Orlando, Amsterdam, Edinburgh, Berlin, Rome, Chicago, Buckhead, Key West, New Orleans, Park City for skiing, Cancun, Dubai, and more. But how do you get the best discount?
Spoiler alert! To get the best deal or discount at a Waldorf Astoria, book via our luxury travel concierge. Get in touch and see how we can make your next trip to a Waldorf Astoria truly unforgettable.
We share ten tips that will help you squeeze the most value out of your next Waldorf Astoria hotel stay. Our tips will help get you the best deal or discount.
1. Get Free Benefits
You can take advantage of free loyalty style benefits from your very first stay at Waldorf Astoria hotels and resorts by booking with a luxury travel agent like our luxury travel concierge. These include free breakfast, free room upgrade (subject to availability), a welcome gift, and a $100 resort spend.
If you want loyalty style VIP benefits without paying more, it is worth contacting us for a free, no-obligation quote to see what you are missing. There is no cost associated with becoming a client of our concierge.
2. Book Early
Waldorf Astoria hotels and resorts are so popular that they often sell out, which means that they don’t need to discount their rooms during these popular periods. But it is often possible to get good discounts on weekends and Sunday nights at city-based Waldorf Astoria hotels.
As you get closer and closer to the dates you plan to stay, rooms usually start to sell out, often starting from the bottom room up. So you could conceivably be left paying a premium for a mid-range room with a view that you aren’t that bothered about.
Booking in advance will not always get you a discount, but it will stop you from paying over the odds because you can book into the room you want.
3. Join The Hilton Loyalty Scheme
Never turn down a free gift! Even when you book with our luxury travel concierge, you get your usual Hilton honors points, so don’t miss out!
4. Book With A knowledgeable Agent
Book with a knowledgeable agent so that they can also help you with advice on the cheapest time to visit, as well as connect you to teams at the resort so you can make restaurant and spa reservations and get help with transfers and activities. Our concierge will help to ease the stress of arranging your vacation.
5. Change Your Holiday Dates
Re-arrange your dates and plan to specifically target certain Waldorf Astoria hotels when they are cheapest and offer the best discounts.
6. Look Out For New Properties
Brilliant new hotels are opening all the time. Expect opening discounts to encourage you to book at new Waldorf Astoria hotels.
7. Stay Shorter
It sounds obvious when you say it aloud, but I would prefer three nights at an expensive Waldorf Astoria rather than a week at a cheap budget resort.
8. Pick The Cheapest Properties
It doesn’t matter how luxurious the Waldorf Astoria brand is. The Waldorf Astoria in Hawaii will most likely be more expensive than the Waldorf Astoria in Panama. This is not a discount; this is simply using common sense to book your vacation in a cheaper area of the world.
9. Use Corporate Promo Codes
There are special corporate promo discount codes, so if you are an employee of a company like Goldman Sachs, Bank Of America, IBM, or the government, you might be able to take advantage of these discounts. Still, these codes are not widely available to the general public. In addition, the discount may not be as good as the complimentary benefits offered by our luxury travel concierge. We suggest asking for a free quote so you can compare prices and benefits and get the full picture before booking.
10. Don’t Book With An Automated Online Agency
Automated Online Agencies don’t offer the personal touch, and more importantly, they don’t put you at the front of the queue for free upgrades. Book with our luxury travel concierge, and we can prioritize you for that free room upgrade and offer you other benefits, too.
