Hilton plans to expand its lifestyle portfolio in Europe, the Middle East, and Africa to more than 200 trading and pipeline properties, including seven new signings and the debut of Motto by Hilton in France and Tapestry Collection by Hilton in Germany.
Hilton’s lifestyle portfolio in Europe, the Middle East, and Africa (EMEA) now includes more than 100 open hotels, with over 100 additional properties in the development pipeline. The portfolio in the region has more than doubled over the past three years, driven by new build and conversion projects in urban, resort, and culturally significant destinations.
As part of this expansion, Hilton announced seven new lifestyle hotel signings across Europe. These include the first Motto by Hilton in France and the first Tapestry Collection by Hilton in Germany.
Motto by Hilton Paris La Villette, a 153-room new-build hotel, is scheduled to open in 2028 opposite Halles de la Villette in Paris. The project is developed by Groupe Galia, with Studio Belem as architect and Ciguë as interior designer.
