Waldorf Astoria Beverly Hills Debuts Exclusive Partnership with The Private Suite

Waldorf Astoria Beverly Hills announced recently a partnership with The Private Suite, the newly-built private terminal with direct-to-aircraft boarding. Guests who book The Private Suite package will have access to all services, including a private Waldorf Astoria Beverly Hills Suite at LAX. Waldorf Astoria Beverly Hills is the only hotel in Los Angeles offering Private Suite service to its guests.

“To further our commitment to True Waldorf Service, we’re thrilled to be able to offer our guests another one-of-a-kind experience. We want their entire journey to be luxurious and memorable. That begins long before they arrive on property — and does not end until they are back home. The Private Suite at LAX affords us the opportunity to assure our guests arriving in Los Angeles on domestic or international flights a truly exceptional trip, from beginning to end,” said Peter Bowling, Managing Director at Waldorf Astoria Beverly Hills.

Guests who book the package will enjoy a special gate into LAX, private TSA screening, private Customs and Immigration processing, the comfort of a Waldorf Astoria Beverly Hills Suite while waiting at the airport, and the experience of being driven in a BMW 7-Series sedan across the airfield directly to and from their aircraft. It’s a head-of-state experience, with no airport traffic congestion on arrival or departure, no standing in any lines, no long walks down crowded corridors, no waiting at the gate to board and no waiting for baggage.

“At LAX, it typically takes a passenger 2,200 footsteps from car seat to plane seat; for members of The Private Suite, it’s 70 footsteps. This is a game changer for the luxury hospitality industry, and we chose Waldorf Astoria Beverly Hills as our first Los Angeles hotel partner because we’re confident that people who stay at Waldorf Astoria Beverly Hills are a match for our service,” said Joshua Gausman, co-Founder of The Private Suite.
