The Luxury Travel Directory

Opening on March 1 2011, the Waldorf Astoria at London Syon Park brings the luxury and elegance for which the Waldorf Astoria is internationally known, to the west of London.

Only half an hour from the City, and a stone’s throw away from London Heathrow Airport, the Waldorf Astoria is ideally situated for the sophisticated business traveller who wants the convenience of access to the heart of London, but desires the opportunity to get away from it all.

Situated within the 200 acre Syon House estate, ancestral home of the Duke of Northumberland, and overlooking the Robert Adam designed Syon House, guests can expect to be treated like nobility in the hotel’s many amenities, and enjoy the tranquility of the Syon Estate, designed by the renowned 18th Century landscape architect Capability Brown.

Of course if Head Concierge Daniela Magliocchetti was hoping to bring the first taste of 5 star luxury to the west of London, then we hate to disappoint. iChauffeur, one mile from the Waldorf Astoria, has been providing luxury service at affordable prices to customers for over 5 years. From luxury wedding cars to London tours, events to airport transfers, iChauffeur’s fleet of luxury cars and hand-picked chauffeurs are waiting for you.

From airport lounge to hotel lounge, choosing iChauffeur means that business class doesn’t have to stop at the airport gates.
