NAPLES, Fla. - Hilton Worldwide, the parent company of Waldorf Astoria Hotels & Resorts, has announced the Naples Grande Beach Resort, a Waldorf Astoria Resort is trading in its name for the more distinguished designation of Waldorf Astoria Naples. The change officially went into effect January 1, 2012, with property enhancements reflecting the latest Waldorf Astoria brand standards to be rolled out throughout 2012.  

Although the property has operated as a Waldorf Astoria Resort for some time, the new name represents a meaningful step in the property's evolution to becoming as singular and timeless as the Waldorf Astoria brand itself.

"The Waldorf Astoria name is synonymous around the world with the very best in luxury and hospitality so it is natural to associate it with our Naples resort which is an iconic landmark that represents the pinnacle of luxury and hospitality in Southwest Florida,"  said John T.A. Vanderslice, Global Head of Luxury and Lifestyle Brands for Hilton Worldwide. "With Waldorf Astoria prominently in its name, guests of Waldorf Astoria Naples resort will know  they can expect nothing short of the unparalleled service and quality found at all of our Waldorf Astoria Hotels & Resorts around the world."
