Hilton plans to more than double its portfolio in Puerto Rico, a destination that already represents its largest collection of hotels in the Caribbean.
As a priority destination for Hilton in the Caribbean, the development pipeline of nearly 10 hotels in Puerto Rico features five new-to-market brands.
Hilton plans to introduce the first Curio Collection by Hilton, Tapestry Collection by Hilton, Hilton Garden Inn, Tru by Hilton, and Homewood Suites by Hilton to the island.
These additions would more than double Hilton’s portfolio of hotels in Puerto Rico by 2025, bringing the company’s supply to 16 hotels and resorts encompassing nearly 4,400 rooms across eight brands in Puerto Rico.
It has seven existing properties encompassing more than 2,350 rooms across four of Hilton’s industry-leading brands. Hilton’s pipeline of hotels under development in Puerto Rico also represents the largest of Hilton’s Caribbean growth markets by a number of hotels.
According to Pablo Maturana, Hilton vice president for development on the Caribbean and Latin America, Puerto Rico plays a critical role in their history, as it kick-started their global growth when its first hotel outside the Continental United States opened in 1949 with the Caribe Hilton.
