Astoria Hotels & Resorts shifts into the fast lane with the
global launch of Waldorf
Astoria Driving Experiences, now bookable for guests across
North America, Europe, and the United Arab Emirates at 12 of the brand’s
26 hotels and resorts. The package includes access to new Ferrari,
McLaren, Lamborghini, and Porsche models, tips from experienced racing
professionals, and the opportunity to drive along beautiful
pre-determined routes giving guests a truly unforgettable day on the
road.
Waldorf Astoria Driving Experiences provide guests with a premier
supercar driving experience that gives each guest the thrill of driving
a Ferrari 458 Italia, McLaren MP4-12C, Porsche GT3, Lamborghini Huracan,

award-winning Driving Directors in Europe and UAE – Vanina Ickx and Eric
