With summer travel season just around the corner, Curio Collection by Hilton continues to offer unexpected getaways for curious travelers and jet-setters of all kinds as it boasts an international pipeline of 10 properties expected to open during the summer months. With more than 65 one-of-a-kind hotels around the world, the collection aims to attract curious travelers looking to explore premier destinations from the Maldives to Spain.

“Studies show that 64 percent of leisure travelers are planning to take a summer vacation this year and our goal is to provide a way for them to travel outside the norm when they book a Curio Collection hotel,” said Mark Nogal, global head, Curio Collection by Hilton. “Whether exploring Mexico City and its rich, historical heritage or decompressing in a sophisticated suite in Spain, Curio Collection properties are catalysts for travelers looking to experience a new destination, different culture and cuisines from around the world in an authentic way.”

With the addition of key locations this summer and more than 60 hotels in the global pipeline, Curio Collection has seen tremendous growth since its launch five years ago with distinctive properties spanning across six continents. From 2017 to 2018 alone, the brand saw near 30 percent growth after opening additional hotels in the Americas, Europe, Middle East and Asia Pacific. As the brand continues to develop internationally, Curio Collection plans to continue to identify key tourism and commerce hubs around the world that meet travelers’ desire for local discovery and authentic experiences.
