Waldorf Astoria Hotels & Resorts Now Features Personal Concierges

The True Waldorf Service concept is an extension of the legendary personal service principles that were first born at the legendary Waldorf=Astoria property in New York, incorporating staff and guest feedback from the past several years. Under this service initiative, a personal concierge is assigned to each qualified guest and acts as their primary contact, before, during and – an industry first – after a stay, to guarantee every want and request is met.* From greeting guests upon arrival and assisting with personal culinary preferences to arranging transportation and special occasion details or accommodating any other singular needs, the personal concierge staff and True Waldorf Service initiative delivers an exceptional, highly-customized luxury experience.
“In order to create a truly innovative and industry-leading service delivery platform, we took great care to identify and train the right employees within the Waldorf Astoria family to develop our network of personal concierges,” said John Vanderslice, global head of luxury and lifestyle brands, Hilton Worldwide. “We’ve invested more than 150,000 hours of training to make sure this service is worthy of our namesake.”
