Waldorf Astoria is making its grand debut in the Lone Star State, and it’s heading straight into the heart of Texas wine country. Slated to open in 2027, Waldorf Astoria Texas Hill Country will be located in the scenic town of Fredericksburg—just under two hours from Austin and San Antonio.
Backed by Wine Country Hospitality Partners LLC, the project unites three hospitality heavyweights: Mark Harmon, founder of Auberge Resorts Collection; Robert Radovan, luxury developer of award-winning destinations like Calistoga Ranch; and Tim Sparapani, a strategic investor and former Director of Public Policy at Facebook.
Managed by Hilton, the expansive estate will feature:
- 60 luxury hotel guest rooms and suites
- 37 branded multi-bedroom resort villas, participating in a rental program
- 50 branded private residences
- Five distinctive food and beverage concepts, including a bar, poolside lounge, and juice bar
- A lavish 11,000-square-foot spa and fitness center
- Two resort-style pools
- Specialty wellness and kids club programming
The property is being brought to life through a collaboration of top-tier designers including Studio CABAN, FAB Studio, TIPLER Group, Studio Outside, and Paul Duesing Partners. The architecture will embrace authentic Texan elegance—sprawling views, private courtyards, and luxurious villa-style accommodations, some with personal plunge pools.
Set amidst rolling vineyards and wildflower-covered hills, Fredericksburg is a fast-growing luxury destination known as Texas’ premier wine-tasting region and the second most visited wine country in the United States. Waldorf Astoria Texas Hill Country will offer a refined retreat with unmatched service, culinary indulgence, and restorative wellness—all anchored in the serene beauty of this emerging escape.
Stay tuned as this high-end hospitality milestone brings world-class luxury to the Texas countryside.
