Hilton reaches 500 open hotels in Florida

Hilton has surpassed 500 open hotels across Florida, particularly in its lifestyle brands, including the upcoming debut of Tempo by Hilton.

In 2024, Florida reported a record-breaking 143 million visitors. Over the past decade, Hilton has nearly doubled its presence in the state.

“Florida has long been a cornerstone for leisure travel and surpassing 500 hotels across the state marks a pivotal moment in Hilton’s journey here,” said John Koshivos, vice president and managing director, development, Southeast U.S., Hilton. “We are proud of our multi-brand growth in Florida, where we’ve introduced the breadth of Hilton’s award-winning brands, from Hampton by Hilton to Conrad Hotels & Resorts, in sought-after locales, from the Panhandle and Orlando to Miami and the Keys. As we aim to offer our guests the right brand for their needs, our lifestyle brands are standing out in this continued expansion, as they reflect the evolving tastes of today’s modern travelers who crave immersive, culturally rich experiences.”

Lifestyle-Driven Growth

A focal point in the company’s plans is expanding its lifestyle footprint, including the first Tempo by Hilton properties in Florida, new Canopy by Hilton hotels in South Florida and the doubling of its Tapestry Collection by Hilton portfolio.

Tempo by Hilton is set to debut in Florida with properties in Pensacola, St. Petersburg and Fort Myers. Canopy by Hilton hotels are expected to join the South Florida portfolio with properties in Miami’s Brickell area and Fort Lauderdale’s Las Olas, complementing the existing Canopy property in West Palm Beach, while Tapestry Collection by Hilton plans to double its portfolio in Florida with developments in destinations such as St. Augustine, Fernandina Beach and Daytona Beach.

  • THesis Hotel Miami Coral Gables, Curio Collection by Hilton
  • The Hiatus Clearwater Beach, Curio Collection by Hilton
  • Faro Blanco Resort & Yacht Club Marathon, Curio Collection by Hilton
  • Castillo Real St. Augustine Beach, Tapestry Collection by Hilton

Hilton’s current supply of hotels spans 17 brands across the state. Additional openings include:

  • Tru by Hilton Panama City Beach
  • Spark by Hilton Tampa Brandon
  • Conrad Orlando – the Conrad brand’s flagship property in Central Florida

Looking ahead, Hilton has nearly 140 properties in the statewide pipeline, across 15 brands, with additional highlights including high-profile luxury developments like Waldorf Astoria Miami and Signia by Hilton Diplomat Beach Resort, and the full-service Hilton Miami Bayfront.
