Hilton to Surpass 300 Hotels in Caribbean & Latin America by 2027

As Hilton continues its record-breaking growth from 2023, it expects to surpass 300 open hotels in the Caribbean and Latin America region in the next three years.

In 2023 alone, the hotel giant opened nearly 20 new hotels and resorts in the region, adding 4,000 hotel rooms to its portfolio. Over the past five years, Hilton created 8,500 jobs throughout the region and currently employs 26,000 people across the 225 hotels currently open in the Caribbean and Latin America.

Hilton has plans for over 100 new hotels, including expansions into seven new countries and territories. The company will also introduce the Spark by Hilton and Home2 Suites by Hilton brands to the region. This year, Hilton will debut new properties in Bermuda and Paraguay.

“I have always loved visiting our teams in the Caribbean and Latin America, and Hilton’s transformation across the region is an incredible example of the power of our hospitality. Over the last decade, we have tripled our presence to 225 hotels in our CALA portfolio,” said Chris Nassetta, president & CEO of Hilton.

“Now, with more than half of our pipeline in the region under construction, we are on track to open our 300th hotel in just a few years,” Nassetta continued. “This expansion is the result of our team’s winning growth strategy and deep knowledge of the market, the vision and confidence of our valued partners, and our team members’ dedication to creating unforgettable stays for all our guests.”

In countries where Hilton properties have existed for a decade or more, growth is expected to continue. Argentina, which opened its first Hilton property, the Hilton Buenos Aires, over twenty years ago, currently offers 10 hotels and will double this number in the coming years.

Mexico, Hilton’s largest market, currently has over 90 Hilton hotels and expects to grow with 30 hotels currently in the development pipeline.
