Hilton Honors is valued here at 0.43 US¢/pt — a third-party estimate, not the operator's own figure.

Hilton Honors gives a free fifth night to any elite tier, Silver and above. It applies to all-points Standard Room Reward stays only — not Points & Money — and is capped at four free nights per reservation. If you hold no status, price this without it.

Indicative only. The cash and award figures above are modelled from the published band for this property’s class and a programme-level tax assumption. They are not a quoted rate, not live award availability, and not a rate the programme will honour. Price your own dates in both currencies on the operator’s site before deciding, and compare only rates with the same cancellation terms.

1Indicative only. Rates are modelled from the published band Waldorf Astoria Hotels & Resorts files for this class of property, not quoted for your dates, and partner channels are shown at the rate the hotel lodges with them. Confirm the figure and the inclusions on the channel before you book — a credit or breakfast attached to a partner rate is contractual with that partner, not with Hilton Honors.
