In 2026, Hilton will enter several new countries with key brands. Planned openings include Waldorf Astoria Hotels & Resorts in Malaysia, Conrad Hotels & Resorts in Saudi Arabia, Malaysia and Greece, and the debut of NoMad in Singapore, marking the brand’s first step into the Asia-Pacific region.

Further expansion includes Curio Collection by Hilton entering India, Canopy by Hilton opening new properties in Thailand and Italy, and Home2 Suites by Hilton launching in Ireland as part of its move into Western Europe. Additional growth is planned with Hilton Garden Inn debuting in Fiji and Spark by Hilton expanding into Saudi Arabia.

Landmark Openings and Lifestyle Destinations

The year will further see the continued international rollout of brands designed for longer stays and flexible travel, reflecting changing guest preferences across business and leisure segments.

Hilton Honors at the Core

Across all new openings, Hilton continues to place its award-winning loyalty program, Hilton Honors, at the center of the guest experience. Members can earn and redeem Points at newly opened properties, enabling them to turn future travel plans into stays at some of the world’s newest hotels.

Whether travelers are seeking peaceful retreats, family-focused journeys or trips shaped by personal passions, Hilton’s 2026 openings aim to offer new ways to explore the world—while earning and redeeming rewards along the way.
