The Hilton brand never fails to disappoint for family travelers looking for quality and comfort, and the company recently announced a slew of openings for 2025 that will offer even more great experiences across the globe.
More than a dozen openings are expected in the Americas for 2025, including the beachfront Zemi Miches All-Inclusive Resort, Curio Collection by Hilton in the Dominican Republic, expected to open in early 2025, and the first-ever Canopy by Hilton property to hit Nashville (Canopy by Hilton Downtown Nashville the Gulch), which is also scheduled for an early 2025 opening. The first LivSmart Studios in America will open in early 2025 in Kokomo, Indiana, giving guests who want a longer stay (10 nights or more) apartment-style accommodations with the comforts of a vacation rental and the reliability of the Hilton name.
The year will also see the reopening of the Waldorf Astoria New York, an iconic property that has undergone a massive restoration under the guidance of renowned architects Skidmore, Owings and Merrill. This property will retain its original Art Deco design with modern touches and is expected to debut next spring.
Hilton will also expand its Waldorf Astoria brand to Japan with a second quarter opening in Osaka and also to Costa Rica with a spring opening of Waldorf Astoria Costa Rica Punta Cacique. The Canopy line expands, with the all-new Canopy by Hilton Cape Town Longkloof in the early part of the year. A highly anticipated opening for Athens, Greece, will finally happen in late 2025 with the renovation and reopening of Hilton Athens as the new Conrad Athens the Ilisian.
If you’ve got Hilton Honors points from previous stays, they can be redeemed at any of these new properties opening in 2025, making these accommodations an easy choice for families hoping to extend their vacation dollars so they can pack in more days and more activities in their favorite destinations.
