This year, the partners will further elevate the Le Mans glamping experience with luxury accommodations featuring comfortable beds outfitted with Waldorf Astoria’s deluxe bedding, monogrammed robes and slippers, cable knit throw blankets, branded tumblers, charging stations and more. Each guest will receive a glamping kit equipped with eye masks, earplugs and a selection of Salvatore Ferragamo toiletries that can be found in Waldorf Astoria properties around the world.

The glamping experience will also feature a Waldorf Astoria spa tent offering complimentary massages for attendees throughout the weekend to provide an added level of luxury and service.
The Aston Martin Racing Hospitality Suite is positioned trackside to provide guests with the opportunity to interact and watch the race in a comfortable, lounge-like setting while enjoying Waldorf Astoria’s amenities including spa services as well as high-end food and beverage offerings. Guests are invited to unwind in the suite’s screening area to watch the race or relax on one of the custom-designed Waldorf Astoria beanbag chairs during the 24-hour event. To ensure the brand’s signature True Waldorf Service comes to life throughout the race, guests of the Hospitality Suite will receive VIP amenity kits including eye masks, Salvatore Ferragamo facial spray and body lotion, and earplugs to help provide a comfortable resting area close to the action.
As a nod to the brand’s Live Unforgettable campaign, Waldorf Astoria will be stationed trackside on the Aston Martin Racing terrace serving cocktail-inspired popsicles to attendees of the race. Live Unforgettable is the alchemy of Waldorf Astoria’s True Waldorf Service, iconic environments and its guests’ desire to live in the moment. Waldorf Astoria and Aston Martin will bring these elements together to transform the routine into the unforgettable.
