13 Most Luxurious Hotel Chains in the World

4. Waldorf Astoria

Part of Hilton Worldwide brand, Waldorf Astoria Hotels & Resorts chain stands out as one of the best-known and most luxurious hotel chains in the world. It makes our list in front of Conrad, Hilton and Double Tree luxury chains thanks to its iconic name. Even though it was acquired in 2007, Waldorf Astoria is already, arguably, Hilton Worldwide’s most prized possession. One only has to look at the Waldorf Astoria in New York which is chain’s flagship hotel, but any of 24 other hotels is as refined as Waldorf Astoria’s first.
