Waldorf Astoria’s first completed Estate Homes above Playa Penca in Costa Rica have ocean-facing terraces, private elevators and, in selected homes, two pools, Hilton says. This 22-home collection at Punta Cacique looks across the Gulf of Papagayo towards the Pacific, alongside a resort that opened in April 2025.
Hilton now expects Waldorf Astoria Residences to nearly triple by 2030, reaching 34 properties and 3,498 homes, with 22 residential developments in the pipeline. Its 10 November announcement brings together construction progress, new signings and sales milestones across destinations ranging from Utah’s Deer Valley to Tokyo’s Nihonbashi district.
Standalone developments, including Pompano Beach, Guadalajara and Denver Cherry Creek, have no managed hotel component. Elsewhere, homes sit alongside a resort or within a hotel tower, with access to hospitality facilities and services. Holiday accommodation is also available at selected properties, including eight resort residences already bookable at Punta Cacique, separate from its Estate Homes collection.
Cliffside living at Punta Cacique
The Costa Rican Estate Homes are among the most substantial addresses in the expansion. Hilton announced delivery of the first three in July, and the collection is now more than 50% sold, with prices ranging from the mid-US$7 millions to more than US$11.75 million.
The fully furnished four- and five-bedroom homes extend across two or three levels. Interior space measures 4,444–5,736 square feet, while total living area, including the multi-level outdoor terraces, reaches up to 11,027 square feet. Those terraces include outdoor cooking spaces, showers and areas for entertaining with Italian barbecues.
The interiors feature walls finished in chukum plaster, teak ceilings, eucalyptus veneer cabinetry and Turkish Rimini beige marble flooring. Kitchens by Cucine Lube have islands and countertops made from leathered Taj Mahal quartzite, and primary suites open onto private terraces above the coast.
At the adjoining resort, owners can use six dining venues, the spa and fitness centre, movement studio, open-air yoga pavilion, pools, beach facilities and children’s and teenagers’ clubs. Services include a 24-hour personal concierge, housekeeping, in-residence dining and pre-arrival provisioning. An optional rental programme is managed by Hilton; ownership enquiries and private tours go through the residential development.
The eight separately bookable resort residences offer a more immediate option for a holiday. Their one- to three-bedroom layouts accommodate two to eight guests and include full kitchens, floor-to-ceiling windows facing the ocean, private plunge pools and balconies furnished for guests. Guests receive private check-in and personal-concierge support, plus access to a dedicated rooftop pool and private rooftop bar area.
In-residence massages, body treatments and private yoga sessions can be booked, alongside access to the wider resort’s spa and fitness facilities. Holiday reservations are handled through the resort website. Punta Cacique is approximately 30 minutes from Liberia International Airport.
Ski-in, ski-out in Deer Valley
Waldorf Astoria Deer Valley Resort and Residences is scheduled to open in 2028 at Deer Valley East Village in Utah. Sales have launched, and construction began in May 2025. The planned development combines 132 hotel rooms with 105 residences: 56 above the hotel and 49 in a separate residential tower.
Homes will range from one to six bedrooms and from 1,099 to 5,155 square feet. Kohn Pedersen Fox’s design places a stone base into the sloping terrain, with upper floors interpreting alpine chalet forms and a bridge connecting the buildings at podium level. AvroKO is responsible for the interiors.
Ski-in, ski-out access will be supported by a ski valet, while the planned 15,000-square-foot spa includes thermal facilities and a snow room. A pool and hot tub are designed to cantilever over a ski run; an indoor lap pool and a residents’ pool deck facing the Green Monster run are also planned. Resident lounges, fitness centres and a demonstration kitchen complete the proposed shared facilities.
Deer Valley East Village is approximately 40 minutes from Salt Lake City International Airport. Travellers visiting before the Waldorf opens can already stay at Canopy Deer Valley beside the Jordanelle Express Gondola, which opened with 180 rooms and four dining concepts.
Denver Cherry Creek adds a Colorado address to the residential pipeline. Construction is under way on the standalone development, with completion expected in 2028 and more than 75% of its homes sold, Hilton says.
Mexico’s cities and a Caribbean island
San Miguel de Allende is one of the nearer-term openings. Waldorf Astoria Residences is due to debut there in 2027, introducing 24 homes in the heart of the UNESCO World Heritage city. The relatively small collection brings the expansion into a cultural destination, rather than a large coastal development.
Guadalajara’s project is a standalone residential development, designed by Gensler with interiors by Cuaik Architects. Construction is under way, 53% of the residences have sold, and completion is expected in winter 2029. Hilton identifies it as the brand’s first standalone residential development in Mexico, the Caribbean and Latin America.
Dellis Cay in Turks and Caicos is scheduled for 2030, with 65 residences across beachfront and ocean villas and condominiums. Its planned island setting adds another coastal option to a portfolio that also includes the completed homes in Costa Rica.
The planned development in Fredericksburg in Texas Hill Country includes private residences and multi-bedroom resort villas, with access to a spa, culinary experiences and concierge services in the region’s wine country.
Florida towers and Gulf waterfronts
Pompano Beach is the portfolio’s first standalone residential development, a 92-residence oceanfront tower developed by Related Group and Merrimac Ventures. It topped out in May and is expected to be completed in summer 2027. Hilton reports that 90% of the homes have sold, including an US$18.1 million penthouse.
St. Petersburg’s 50-storey tower is scheduled for completion in 2030, with expansive layouts and resort-style amenities planned. Hilton reports more than US$200 million in sales there, including a US$27 million penthouse transaction. Sarasota is working towards occupancy in 2029, with wellness and outdoor living spaces among its proposed residential facilities.
Miami’s project has reached 89 poured floors of its planned 100-storey tower, with completion expected in 2028. Carlos Ott is designing the building in collaboration with Sieger Suarez Architects, and Peacock Alley, Waldorf Astoria’s signature hospitality space, is among its planned offerings.
Waterfront homes are also part of the expansion in the UAE. Waldorf Astoria Residences Yas in Abu Dhabi offers waterfront and golf-course views and sold out on launch day, according to Hilton. The company has also signed Waldorf Astoria Residences Dubai Islands and reported a penthouse sale milestone at its Ras Al Khaimah development.
Athens and Tokyo, with hotel services close by
Waldorf Astoria Residences Athens The Ilisian is due to open in late 2026 on the top four floors of the tower housing the newly opened Conrad Athens The Ilisian. The Waldorf homes form part of a wider collection of 55 branded and serviced residences across the Waldorf Astoria and Conrad brands.
The Ilisian’s plans for residents and hotel guests include Acropolis views, an outdoor pool landscape and an urban roof garden. Its proposed wellness facilities extend to specialised studios, heat and cold facilities, an indoor pool, a rooftop running track measuring 720 metres, a pickleball court and an outdoor training tower.
Byzantino is being reinvented as an all-day brasserie combining Greek dishes with French classics. The destination’s rooftop dining plans include The Galaxy Dispensary and The Galaxy Supper Club.
Marbella will add a resort-associated collection in Spain’s Málaga Province. Hilton has signed a development comprising 120 branded residences alongside a luxury resort, extending the Mediterranean residential portfolio beyond Athens.
Tokyo Nihonbashi’s 71 residences are expected to begin residential tenancy in autumn 2027. Developed by Mitsui Fudosan Residential with Hilton, they will sit within Tokyo Midtown Nihonbashi, a planned mixed-use development with office and retail space. Residents will have direct access to hotel services and dedicated amenities.
Hilton expects the adjoining Waldorf Astoria hotel to open in autumn 2027, with 197 guest rooms on levels 39–47. Planned facilities include three restaurants, Peacock Alley lounge and bar, an indoor pool, spa and fitness centre. The hotel will connect directly to Nihonbashi Station, near Tokyo Station and the Marunouchi, Yaesu and Otemachi business districts.
