Atlanta gained its first Waldorf Astoria hotel on Monday as Hilton officially reopened the former Mandarin Oriental Atlanta in Buckhead with the Waldorf Astoria name.

Atlanta has its first Waldorf Astoria hotel.

Hilton Worldwide (NYSE:HLT) announced Monday it officially reopened the former Mandarin Oriental Atlanta under the luxury brand.

“That’s a wonderful thing for Buckhead,” former Atlanta Mayor Sam Massell, president of the Buckhead Coalition, said in a November interview. “There’s no better cachet than Waldorf Astoria. It’s the most outstanding, celebrated name for a hotel property in the United States.”

Hilton reportedly has been looking to open up a Waldorf Astoria in the Atlanta market since at least 2007.

Waldorf has 31 locations around the planet from locations like Beverly Hills to Bangkok to its flagship location in Manhattan.

Just a little added prestige to the "Buckhead Brand". Thank you, Hilton.

This is, what, the third time?

Rosewood
Mandarin Oriental
Waldorf Astoria

At least it's moving in the right direction.

I'm kind of bummed about it not being the Mandarin anymore. I haven't experienced staying at a Waldorf, but Mandarin has always been solid. Except for the old one in Manila. That place was a dump.

It's one of the biggest hospitality wins in Atlanta's history. Extremely exclusive.

While the other two are more than respectable luxury brands, they don't carry the history and traditions associated with the Waldorf-Astoria brand.
