Waldorf Astoria Los Cabos Pedregal will temporarily close from July 15 through Sept. 30 to complete the final phase of a multi-year property transformation that began in 2022. The closure will allow for a complete redesign of all 112 guestrooms, suites, casitas and villas at the beachfront resort.
The renovation represents the culmination of an extensive property-wide update at Hilton's first Waldorf Astoria resort in Mexico. Previous phases included culinary enhancements such as the addition of Agave Study at Peacock Alley and Neutral Coffee Lab; a refresh of signature restaurant Don Manuel's; and the introduction of Travesia, a nine-course tasting menu centered around the taco.
"The reimagination of Waldorf Astoria Los Cabos Pedregal was done thoughtfully to ensure a singularly authentic luxury experience that gives a nod to the resort's impressive legacy, as well as the heritage and traditions of Mexican culture," said Maria Valeria Nowotny, vice resident of operations – resorts, luxury and lifestyle hotels – Caribbean, Mexico and Central America at Hilton. "The culmination of this transformation will propel the resort to a thrilling new era and further solidify the property as the premier luxury stay of choice while visiting Los Cabos."
Original resort designer Paul Duesing is leading the accommodation redesign, which will feature a lighter, neutral color palette with warm accents. All rooms will include custom furniture and accessories created by Mexican artisans from Oaxaca, Baja California Sur, Jalisco and other regions. The design will also incorporate artwork from Mexican artists including Cinthya Navarro, known for her acrylic canvas work, and multidisciplinary artist Tanya Talamante, whose mural currently appears at the property's Neutral Coffee Lab.
Each room will feature a handcrafted metallic sea turtle shell by Preciado Iluminacion from Jalisco, displayed above the bed as a centerpiece. The sea turtle serves as the resort's symbol, representing guests' return to the property.
Beyond accommodations, the property will introduce rotating culinary activations at an enhanced Beach Club. These additions will complement the resort's annual Festival of Flavors series, which has featured chefs from The World's 50 Best Restaurants and recipients of James Beard and Michelin star honors, including Jaime Pesaque, Michael Mina, David Yoshimura and Claudette Zepeda.
The resort will continue its partnership with Alo Moves in 2026, hosting the fitness platform's in-person retreat for the third consecutive year. The three-day wellness program focuses on sustainable living and recovery. Throughout the year, guests can access virtual Alo Moves classes filmed at the resort.
The property plans to reopen in the fall to debut the completed transformation.
