A famous hotel chain is opening its first Texas location in the Hill Country — but don't expect a budget stay. The Waldorf Astoria Texas Hill Country is expected to open in 2027.

A release does not share an address, but says the 106-acre property will be located less than a mile from downtown Fredericksburg.

The luxe property will include 60 hotel rooms, 37 multi-bedroom resort villas that may be rented out, and 50 private residences. In addition to lodgings, the resort will contain five food and beverage concepts — an all-day restaurant, a specialty restaurant, a bar and lounge, a pool bar, and a grab-and-go juice bar — a spa, a fitness center, and two pools.

Behind the scenes of this arrangement are Hilton — the Waldorf Astoria's parent company — and Wine Country Hospitality Partners LLC, a partnership between Mark Harmon, Robert Radovan, and Tim Sparapani. The design was handled by Studio CABAN, FAB Studio, TIPLER Group, Studio Outside, and Paul Duesing Partners.

The announcement emphasizes the Hill Country's value for travelers who are interested in visiting wineries and promised "authentically Texan design elements." The residences, ranging from three to five bedrooms, are meant for "celebrating the natural influences of the land" and are already available for reservations.

“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,” said vice president of luxury & mixed-use development at Hilton Amy King. That's referring to the first hotel the Hilton founder bought in Cisco, followed by the first hotel that bore the Hilton name in Dallas, in 1925.

The original Waldorf Astoria opened in New York in 1893 and became famous for its opulence. It was demolished in 1929 for the construction of the Empire State Building. However, there are now more than 30 Waldorf Astoria properties around the world carrying the same historic reputation for elevated service and accommodations.

Developer Mark Harmon emphasizes that the new resort will belong to Texas and be designed accordingly.

“With Waldorf Astoria Texas Hill Country, we’re drawing upon the unique architecture and history of Fredericksburg to create a new experience that opens this budding wine destination to travelers and future residents," Harmon says, "drawing a spotlight to the area as a whole and all that makes it unique.”
