Hilton Crosses 160 Luxury And Lifestyle Hotels Apac Eyes More Growth
Last month, the Motto by Hilton Hong Kong Soho launched in the Sheung Wan District, offering 274 rooms and marking the brand’s first property opening in the Asia Pacific (Apac) region. The launch is part of Hilton’s expansion strategy to add more luxury and lifestyle brands in the region, which has already seen success with the opening of its first Waldorf Astoria in Osaka, along with the Secan Hotel Qingdao under its Curio Collection in China’s Shandong Province earlier this year. With this latest addition, Hilton now has over 160 luxury and lifestyle hotels open and operating in Apac. Looking ahead, the hotel group has plans to expand its presence in the region even further, with new properties in the pipeline including Waldorf Astoria hotels in Bali and Shanghai, the former becoming the brand’s first in Indonesia upon its opening in 2027. Other openings scheduled for the next 12 months include NoMad Singapore and Canopy by Hilton Makati in the Philippines, both opening in 2026. The group also has several upcoming projects, with seven new Waldorf Astoria properties in Kuala Lumpur, Hanoi, Sydney, Xi’an, Tokyo, Delhi, and Bali, along with plans to introduce the Conrad Hotels & Resorts brand in Jaipur, Kuala Lumpur, Nagoya, Bangkok, and China. “Hilton’s luxury and lifestyle brands are seeing rapid growth in the Asia Pacific region,” says Alan Watts, president of Apac for Hilton. “The demand for unique and experiential stays is increasing, and Hilton is proud to be at the forefront of shaping the future of hospitality in this dynamic region.” With plans to expand its luxury and lifestyle portfolio in Apac by at least 50% in the coming years, Hilton anticipates having over 250 hotels across both categories in the region.
