July 30, 2018 Europe

AMSTERDAM - Travelers looking for an unforgettable #hotel experience always find their way to Waldorf Astoria. Each Waldorf Astoria property creates a unique sense of place, with a relentless commitment to personal service. We are proud to now offer our guests access to Headspace the award-winning meditation company in one of the most serene surroundings, the beautiful private Tea House in the historic garden of Waldorf Astoria Amsterdam.

Premier Wellbeing Experience

Waldorf Astoria #amsterdam has developed three new luxury experiences. 'The Dutch Dream' shows the beautiful Dutch landscape from your private helicopter, which lands for a picnic on Texel Island. 'Unpack the true story' starts in a horse-drawn carriage to Chandlers Warehouse, where a private dinner is served in the authentic 17th century store formerly used for ship supplies and trading. 'Mindfulness in the Garden' is the exclusive complimentary Wellbeing Experience for #hilton Honors Gold and Diamond Members. #waldorfastoriaamsterdam offers the exclusivity of these signature mindfulness sessions, which were developed in collaboration with Headspace.

The experiences will be available on Hilton’s new luxury experiences website (www.explore.hilton.com/luxury) where guests can book exclusive, authentic local experiences in destinations across Europe, Middle East and Africa.

Wellbeing is the new wellness

In our busy lives, dominated by a permanent stream of stimuli, the possibility to escape for a moment is a luxury in itself. Research[1] shows that #people in higher income categories spend time, money and energy on their well-being and mindfulness and #waldorfastoriaamsterdam are proud to be partnering with Headspace to provide guests with opportunities for meditation and mindfulness in a modern way.

Appropriate environment

Waldorf Astoria #amsterdam offers its #hilton Honors Gold and Diamond members to undergo the signature mindfulness session in an appropriate environment, the beautiful private Tea House in the historic garden; the largest private garden in #amsterdam. With unique delicacies, guests can bask in an extraordinary experience of well-being with the Headspace app.
