About
Waldorf Astoria Jeddah - Qasr Al Sharq
Waldorf Astoria Jeddah - Qasr Al Sharq sits directly on the North Corniche, giving every stay a front-row view of the Red Sea. The hotel is part of a larger complex that shares guest services with the adjacent Hilton Jeddah, so you get more dining and leisure options without leaving the area.
Rooms are designed for comfort and calm — expect plush beds, sitting areas, and marble bathrooms. The suites go further, adding Jacuzzis, city views, and balconies in the Royal Suite. Every stay includes access to a full spa, several pools, and a fitness centre.
The property runs on classic Waldorf service: butlers, express check-in, and 24-hour reception. Guests consistently mention the staff in reviews, noting how attentive and friendly everyone is.

Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Comfort scores are the weakest link — While still rated 7.5, Comfort is the lowest of all rating categories — a slight dip from otherwise excellent scores.
- No pets allowed — The hotel does not accept pets, so you'll need to make other arrangements if you're travelling with an animal.
- Check-in only from 15:00 — Standard check-in starts at 3 PM and runs until midnight. If you arrive early, you may have to wait for your room.
- Limited dining on-site — The hotel has its own restaurant and poolside snack bar, but guests often mention walking over to the adjacent Hilton for more variety — especially breakfast.

8.7Verified guest“A wonderful stay — the hotel is beautiful, clean, and the rooms are lovely. My room had a gorgeous view of the Corniche, the bed was comfortable, and in-room dining was excellent. The buffet at the Hilton next door was also great, especially the manakish. Being able to use the adjacent Hilton's services was a bonus. Highly recommended for business or leisure.”
