Conrad Hotels & Resorts has a strong, worldly style. Its guests seek smart and
contemporary luxury. These travelers are consistently plugged in and live in a
world of constant connection, and Conrad hotels reflect this. Public spaces are

smartphone and tablet app, and rooms enable guests to work or relax. Work
spaces easily transition to lounge spaces and are, of course, fully equipped with
the latest and most efficient technology across the FF&E. They have distinctive,
often hyper-local restaurants or nightlife spaces where guests can connect.

luxurious and stylish elements that define a Waldorf Astoria and Conrad property. Both luxury brands are consciously pushing to make sustainability the "new
standard" and appeal to environmentally conscious luxury business and leisure
travelers. We continue to hire design firms with years of experience designing
luxury hotels who value the importance that guests place on sustainability.
HOW DOES THAT IMPACT SOURCING?
As far as the evolving materials palette, as the Waldorf Astoria brand continues
to grow, it has become more and more important for us to maintain elevated

brand has a lot of
history, but designers
such as Yabu Pushelberg are keeping it
relevant with design
decisions like the
addition of this art
element in the
Waldorf Astoria
Beijing, which opened
earlier this year.

shows its understanding of the
balance between
out-of-the-box
thinking and a quality
presentation in the
glittering wine
room of the Zijin

in the Waldorf
