Waldorf Astoria makes its first appearance in the Peloponnese with Waldorf Astoria Scarlet Bay in the Ermioni region, a stunning new resort blending timeless elegance, sea views, and world-class hospitality.

 

A New Landmark for Greek Luxury

The legendary Waldorf Astoria brand is coming to the Peloponnese. Hilton has just announced the opening of Waldorf Astoria Scarlet Bay, in partnership with Royal Group Holding—marking the brand’s first property in the Peloponnese and a milestone for luxury hospitality in Greece.

Set on the serene coastline of the Ermioni region, one of the most exclusive areas of the Greek Riviera, the new hotel will combine Waldorf Astoria’s refined service with the effortless charm of the Argolic Gulf. Just a short distance from the cosmopolitan island of Spetses, Scarlet Bay promises a retreat of understated sophistication.

Timeless Design and Unrivalled Comfort

The resort will feature 121 rooms and suites, all with sweeping sea views, plus 13 branded villas offering the ultimate in privacy and comfort. Elegant interiors, generous spaces, and signature service promise a stay defined by quiet luxury and natural beauty.

A Tradition of Grace: Peacock Alley Returns

Dining takes center stage at Waldorf Astoria Scarlet Bay, anchored by the legendary Peacock Alley. More than a restaurant, Peacock Alley is a global symbol of the brand’s heritage, dating back to 1897 New York, where high society once “peacocked” through the grand marble corridor connecting the original Waldorf and Astoria hotels. Today, it remains a signature of every Waldorf Astoria worldwide: a gathering place of timeless elegance, fine food, and cultural flair. At Scarlet Bay, it will be joined by a signature restaurant, a beach club eatery, a lobby lounge, and a seaside café—each bringing Mediterranean simplicity to new heights.

Wellness by the Sea

Guests will enjoy the Waldorf Astoria Spa, complete with indoor and outdoor pools, a fitness center, tennis courts, and a kids’ club. The infinity pool, overlooking the island of Spetses, will be a showstopper—perfect for golden-hour swims and sunset cocktails.

The New Face of Peloponnesian Luxury

With Waldorf Astoria Scarlet Bay, the Ermioni region strengthens its reputation as one of Greece’s most sophisticated coastal destinations. For travelers who seek design, discretion, and world-class service, this new opening promises to become a modern Riviera classic.
