Waldorf Astoria Hotels & Resorts is saying “howdy” to the Lone Star State with its first-ever property in Texas.
Set to open in 2027, the Waldorf Astoria Texas Hill Country will feature 60 hotel rooms and suites along with an additional 87 Waldorf Astoria Residences, according to Hilton. The property will sit on more than 100 acres just 1 mile from downtown Fredericksburg in the Texas Hill Country wine region.
“Waldorf Astoria Texas Hill Country’s signing marks a monumental milestone for Hilton and is integral to both our growth in the state, which represents Hilton’s largest hotel portfolio in the U.S., and Hilton luxury brands portfolio expansion across the Americas,” Amy King, vice president of luxury and mixed-use development at Hilton, said in a statement. “Conrad Hilton’s legacy in the hotel business began in Texas more than 105 years ago, and working alongside incredible owners, we’re proud to deliver on Conrad’s vision as we introduce our distinguished luxury hotel and residential portfolio in the destination.”

The property will feature five food-and-beverage concepts, including a pool bar, a grab-and-go juice bar, a specialty restaurant, a separate bar and lounge, and an all-day restaurant. Guests will be able to indulge in the hotel’s more than 11,000-square-foot spa and fitness center — complete with 10 treatment rooms and sports courts — relax in the two resort-style pools or enjoy some kid-free time while the little ones hang out in the kids club.
The hotel will also feature ample meeting space, including a 4,000-square-foot event barn, for groups and events.
For those seeking more privacy, multiroom resort villas will be available for guest rentals. Each will have its own private plunge pool and outdoor courtyard and offer specialty programming.
When complete, the Waldorf Astoria Texas Hill Country will participate in the Hilton Honors loyalty program, which includes more than 7,000 hotels across 100-plus countries.
