Hilton plans to open more than 150 new luxury and lifestyle hotels worldwide in 2025, including the NoMad Detroit at Michigan Central Station.
Hilton has recently achieved a significant milestone by opening its 1,000th hotel under its luxury and lifestyle portfolios. This development is part of a broader expansion strategy that includes nearly 500 additional hotels in the pipeline. Among the new openings, the company has announced the development of NoMad Detroit, a partnership with Ford Motor Company, located in the iconic Michigan Central Station.
The NoMad Detroit is set to be a key feature within The Station at Michigan Central, a 30-acre site being developed into a tech and cultural hub. This project aims to revitalize Detroit’s historic but previously abandoned passenger rail station. The development reflects a blend of the station’s rich history and the innovative future planned for the area.
In addition to the Detroit project, Hilton’s growth strategy includes opening three new luxury and lifestyle hotels per week in 2025. This rapid expansion will contribute significantly to the company’s portfolio, which saw nearly 100,000 rooms added in the past year alone due to new openings and acquisitions.
The upcoming hotel openings span several global locations and brands within Hilton’s portfolio. Notable future launches include the Waldorf Astoria New York and Waldorf Astoria Rabat Salé, the first LXR Hotels & Resorts in India and the debut of Curio Collection by Hilton in Thailand. These developments are part of Hilton’s broader aim to cater to luxury travel markets worldwide.
Hilton’s recent and planned openings include properties in diverse locations such as Athens, Bangkok, Paris, Costa Rica, Jordan, and more. The company’s expansion includes significant entries into new markets, with planned openings in university-anchored towns globally under the Graduate by Hilton brand and the introduction of the Canopy by Hilton brand in Tokyo and Italy.
This expansion is supported by Hilton’s exclusive partnership with Small Luxury Hotels of the World, which has recently expanded to include 50 additional hotels.
