Wheels Up keeps on turning with Waldorf deal
Transitioning from aircraft to hotel, a luxury experience begins for Wheels Up members as soon as they land at their destination of choice, where they will receive ground transportation provided by Waldorf Astoria.

Wheels Up has entered into a partnership with Waldorf Astoria Hotels & Resorts, Hilton's luxury hotel brand, offering Wheels Up members exclusive benefits at ten Waldorf Astoria properties across North America.

From Beverly Hills to the shores of Maui in Hawaii and beyond, Wheels Up members can now further indulge in the luxury that is found at all Waldorf Astoria hotels. The collaboration represents the largest hotel partnership to date for Wheels Up and will enhance the private aviation brand's travel offerings within its robust portfolio of member benefits with one of the world's most recognisable names in luxury hospitality.

Creating a seamless transition from aircraft to hotel, the experience begins for Wheels Up members as soon as they land at their destination of choice, where they will receive luxury ground transportation provided by Waldorf Astoria. Once on property, Wheels Up members will have access to a dedicated concierge at the hotel, personalised service, room upgrades based on availability, complimentary breakfast, premium wi-fi and a guaranteed late checkout.

“We are thrilled to be launching this new programme with Waldorf Astoria Hotels & Resorts to provide memorable travel experiences for our Wheels Up members,” says Mark Krolick, senior VP at Wheels Up. “Our two brands are aligned and committed to an impeccable standard of service that has inspired this programme, and we look forward to future collaborations on the ground and in the air.”

Wheels Up members have access to these benefits at ten select North American properties including Waldorf Astoria Atlanta; Waldorf Astoria Monarch Beach Resort & Club; Waldorf Astoria Beverly Hills; Grand Wailea, A Waldorf Astoria Resort; Arizona Biltmore, A Waldorf Astoria Resort; Waldorf Astoria Park City; Waldorf Astoria Los Cabos Pedregal; Waldorf Astoria Orlando; Waldorf Astoria Las Vegas and Waldorf Astoria Chicago.

“The launch of this partnership with Wheels Up represents our dedication to the evolving needs of discerning travellers today, and we are delighted to welcome their members to our stellar properties across North America,” adds Dino Michael, senior VP and global head, Waldorf Astoria Hotels & Resorts. “We're excited to partner with a company like Wheels Up that shares our relentless commitment to personal, anticipatory service as well as providing guests and members with truly unforgettable experiences.”
