“At Hilton, we continue to reimagine what’s next in hospitality, and today, we’re delivering it. Outset Collection is an expression of our commitment to growth, innovation and meeting the evolving needs of travelers around the world,” said Chris Nassetta, president and CEO, Hilton. “By expanding our Lifestyle portfolio, we are broadening the ways guests engage with Hilton and unlocking new possibilities for our owners, our teams and the communities we serve.”
A Focus on Owner Flexibility with the Backing of Hilton
Driven by the fast-paced growth of Hilton’s existing brands, particularly Curio Collection and Tapestry Collection, the company has consistently delivered industry-leading share of conversions in
Building on this success of conversion hotels, Outset Collection will feature a range of hotels, with upscale finishes and story-driven designs. The format is flexible so that each location’s identity can run deep. Whether it is hidden gems, revived landmarks or urban boutiques, each stay is layered with narrative and purpose.
Owners will balance strong product and service with a wider, more flexible range of experiences and amenities, along with the quality and award-winning hospitality that travelers have come to expect from Hilton. For example, food and beverage offerings will vary across the brand, based on market demand, guest sentiment or hotel experience, ranging from cafes with light bites to full lunch and dinner concepts.
“Independent hotels thrive when they can preserve their unique character while tapping into the power of a global hospitality leader,” said Chris Silcock, president, global brands and commercial services, Hilton. “With Outset Collection, we are offering owners the flexibility they want without compromising on quality. By combining one-of-a-kind properties with Hilton’s powerful commercial engine and commitment to exceptional product, service, and technology, we’re elevating our value proposition across the board.”
Hilton’s Development Strategy and Leadership in the Lifestyle Space
Hilton has a rich history of strategically developing and launching new brands for every guest and every travel occasion. Hilton continuously evaluates the market and identified a white space in the upscale and upper midscale collection segment. More than 50 percent of the global hotel supply is unbranded or independent, and Hilton recognized an opportunity to address an unmet need.
Outset Collection will join Hilton’s robust Lifestyle portfolio, which also includes NoMad, Canopy, Curio Collection, Graduate, Tapestry Collection, Tempo and Motto. The continued focus on this category is underscored by tremendous growth. Earlier this year, Hilton’s Luxury and Lifestyle portfolios reached 1,000 hotels globally.
All hotels in Outset Collection will participate in Hilton Honors, the award-winning guest loyalty program with more than 226 million members for Hilton’s portfolio of world-class brands. Members will be able to book, earn and redeem Hilton Honors Points for stays through Hilton’s direct channels and enjoy the Hilton Honors benefits they know and love.
