After a strong 2023, where Hilton Hotels & Resorts achieved the largest growth programme in its history, opening a record 24,000 rooms in 132 hotels in the last quarter of the year, the leading hotel group is planning its next steps for 2024, which include new hotel arrivals.
Hilton now has more new rooms under construction than any other hotel chain, with approximately one in five hotel rooms under construction worldwide set to join the company’s portfolio.
After entering new markets such as Monaco, Tunisia and the Democratic Republic of Congo in 2023, this year Hilton is expected to open its first hotels in Bermuda, Paraguay, Nepal, Laos and Timor-Leste.
Hilton will also continue to expand its award-winning brands into new destinations this year. Guest-favorite brands such as Hampton by Hilton – celebrating its 40th anniversary this year – will enter Africa, and Hilton’s newest brands, such as LivSmart Studios by Hilton, Tempo by Hilton and Spark by Hilton, will accelerate their growth in the U.S.
