MCLEAN, Va. - Curio Collection by Hilton and Tapestry Collection by Hilton, two of Hilton’s 14 market-leading brands, continue to grow their portfolios with seven unique hotels featuring exceptional accommodations in cities across the country. Whether travelers are looking for a relaxing weekend getaway in the countryside or a week-long vacation exploring some beautiful destinations across America, Hilton’s collection brands boast distinctive properties supported by the strength and reliability of Hilton and its award-winning Hilton Honors program.

The Curio Collection portfolio, which sits between the upscale and luxury hotel space, comprises of more than 50 one-of-a-kind hotels and resorts around the world, with the most recent opening where small town charm and city experiences meet – in Lynchburg, Virginia. Travelers seeking an authentic and memorable experience will soon also be able to stay at Curio Collection hotels in Seattle, Cincinnati and Pittsburgh.

"From Pittsburgh's great food scene and sports venues, to the influential Pacific Northwest hub of Seattle, these one-of-a-kind properties truly embody the independent spirit of our collection," said Mark Nogal, global head, Curio Collection by Hilton. "Each of these hotels accelerates our efforts to expand our collection in markets that reach travelers and surprise locals seeking unexpected and authentic experiences, and they arrive just in time for what’s expected to be the busiest summer in the history of U.S. air travel with more than 2.6 million passengers per day [1]."

Properties recently added and soon joining the Curio Collection by Hilton portfolio include:

  • The Virginian Lynchburg (Opened May 2018): A centerpiece of downtown Lynchburg since 1913, this magnificent hotel has been thoughtfully restored to its historic grandeur and refreshed with modern amenities. Guests can enjoy views of Lynchburg and the James River from a new vantage on the only rooftop restaurant and bar downtown or host an event in the 1900s-style ballroom showcasing the grandeur of the era with gorgeous ceilings, columns and moldings.
  • Distrikt Hotel Pittsburgh (Opening June 2018): Historic-meets-modern and posh-meets-minimalism for a one-of-a-kind stay downtown at the Distrikt Hotel Pittsburgh. Formerly the Salvation Army headquarters, this boutique hotel offers contemporary amenities while honoring the building’s original architecture, charm and stature on the National Register of Historic Places. Enjoy meals in the hotel’s two restaurants, or, The Whale, a seafood and chophouse showcasing French specialties and local ingredients, or Evangeline, a chic cocktail and oyster bar that’s perfect for craft cocktails or entertaining colleagues.
  • The Charter Seattle (Opening July 2018): Just steps from downtown Seattle, including Pike Place Market, the Space Needle and endless dining and bar options, this chic hotel offers guests sleekly designed rooms with warm wood finishes, elegant décor and opulent bedding for maximum comfort after long days of exploring.

  • The Cincinnatian Hotel (Opening by August 2018): A gem of downtown since 1882, The Cincinnatian Hotel blends rich history with today’s modern amenities for a unique stay in Cincinnati. Vintage elements, such as artwork, a grand marble staircase and soaring atrium, showcase the hotel’s past. Have breakfast made-to-order at the hotel’s restaurant or enjoy a local favorite at the American gastropub after exploring the bustling city.

Tapestry Collection was introduced as Hilton’s 14th brand and second collection brand in January 2017. Since its launch, it has added six hotels to its portfolio, with three additional properties opening this summer. This month, the upscale collection brand offering travelers refreshingly uncommon hotels, celebrates its one-year anniversary since welcoming its first property into the collection in Syracuse, New York.

“Each of the Tapestry Collection by Hilton properties maintains its own individuality and provides guests with a vibrant hotel experience,” said Jenna Hackett, global head, Tapestry Collection by Hilton. “From a rooftop restaurant in Wilmington, North Carolina to a relaxing mountain getaway in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee, our newest hotels provide travelers even more opportunities to experience inviting properties that combine their own style and personality with the familiarity and reassurance of Hilton.”
