Two magnificent hotels of the Waldorf Astoria hotel chain — Rome Cavalieri, A Waldorf Astoria Resort, and Waldorf Astoria Amsterdam — invite you to experience the capitals of Italy and the Netherlands in an even more dazzling light thanks to a range of new offerings that will allow guests not only to have a wonderful time but also to discover beloved Rome and Amsterdam from an unexpected perspective. The offers, divided into several categories based on guests' desires — "flavors," "sights," and "sounds" — can be viewed and booked on the website: www.explore.hilton.com/luxury.
So what have Rome Cavalieri and Waldorf Astoria Amsterdam prepared for their guests?
Rome Cavalieri
Take a ride through the Eternal City in a stylish classic Italian car in the spirit of La Dolce Vita accompanied by a local guide, and if desired, bring along a professional photographer to capture every moment of the tour. Discover stunning Roman squares, monumental landmarks, and ancient ruins, and conclude the excursion on Janiculum Hill with an incredible view of the city. Such Roman holidays will be remembered forever!

How about participating in the Made in Italy by You masterclass, during which the owners of the central workshop Le Mastro will teach you how to sew sandals? You will learn the art of making leather shoes by designing and creating your own pair. Once you have mastered this new craft, you will return home with pleasant memories… and a new pair of sandals! And at the end of the day, be sure to get a pedicure in the city's best spa, Grand Spa Club.

In addition, guests can immerse themselves in the fascinating Italian tradition of truffle hunting in the Umbria region by choosing the Truffle Hunt menu. The journey from the hotel takes you through the northern hills of the Lazio region, and during the hunt for valuable mushrooms, guests are accompanied by the owners of a family truffle business that has been passed down through generations for centuries. Hunters will also enjoy a lunch during which they are told and shown the best ways to prepare truffle dishes. On the way back to the hotel, there will be a brief stop in Assisi, the birthplace of one of Italy's main patron saints — Saint Francis, to enjoy the rich cultural heritage of this ancient city. You will return home with a full basket of truffles and unforgettable experiences!

Rome Cavalieri is also a partner of the cosmetic brand Aromatherapy Associates and is pleased to offer its guests the best remedy for jet lag — The Ultimate Jet Lag Remedy service.
After a long journey across time zones, guests can consult with a jet lag expert who will advise on the best ways to recover. Guests have access to not only a vast selection of pillows but also professional advice on which sleep schedule helps best with sudden time zone changes. For those who need a pick-me-up, there is a special Jet Lag Cure treatment from Aromatherapy Associates, as well as the Revit & Reset Edit kit from Aromatherapy Associates, which includes beneficial ingredients such as rosemary, grapefruit, and juniper berries — they will help you quickly recover after a long flight.
Waldorf Astoria Amsterdam
The Dutch Dream option offers a 30-minute helicopter flight to enjoy magnificent views of vibrant flower fields and learn about the history of Dutch floriculture, as well as admire the natural beauty of the coastline. After landing in De Koog, the northernmost town in the country, guests can climb the local lighthouse to marvel at the seaside panorama of the Wadden Sea from a height of 35 meters and have a wonderful time picnicking on the beach. Champagne is included! A pleasant bonus is the transfer to and from the helipad in a Maybach car.

The historic journey Unpack Your True Story begins in a horse-drawn carriage that will take guests to lunch or dinner at one of Amsterdam's most unusual restaurants, The Ship Chandlers Warehouse, which they will have at their full disposal for an entire day or evening. Since the 17th century, this place has housed warehouses originally intended for Dutch trading vessels — the masters of the oceans at that time. Perhaps the most unusual moment of this excursion into the past will be the curious private collection of legendary travel trunks and suitcases from Louis Vuitton, Goyard, Moynat en Aux États Unis — a true find for all fans of luxury travel.

Members of the Hilton Honors loyalty program at the Diamond or Gold level can also take advantage of the complimentary Mindfulness in the Garden service from Hilton in partnership with Headspace — a digital service that organizes physical and mental meditation sessions guided by an experienced instructor. Upon arrival at the hotel, guests receive a gift card for one month of free access to the Headspace app, which will open the doors to inner transformation and enlightenment. With Headspace, it's easy to escape the noise and hustle of the city and relax among the trees of the hotel's private garden — the largest in Amsterdam. While there, be sure to check out the Tea House, which is a UNESCO World Heritage site, and try the exquisite treats.
For those who prefer a more entertaining pastime, it's worth joining the Mixologist cocktail-making masterclass to learn a lot about spirits, syrups, and spices, as well as receive some important tips from the hotel's bartenders. Once, the Vault bar building was a secret stronghold of the MeesPierson bank, and now it holds the secret recipes for the world's best cocktails. Don't miss the chance to gain a unique experience!
