Hilton Forms Strategic Alliance with Playa Hotels & Resorts

MCLEAN, VA—Hilton has formed a strategic alliance with Playa Hotels & Resorts, marking a landmark expansion of the hospitality company’s all-inclusive resort portfolio. During a reception at the soon-to-be Hilton Playa del Carmen, an all-inclusive resort, Hilton will share the company’s plans to welcome two new all-inclusive resorts, to be owned and managed by Playa Hotels & Resorts, to its portfolio in the Caribbean and Latin America by the end of the year. Hilton and Playa have initial plans to open eight additional all-inclusive resorts together by 2025.

By the end of this year, Hilton and Playa Hotels & Resorts will introduce all-inclusive resorts Hilton La Romana and Hilton Playa del Carmen, adding 1,269 new Hilton guestrooms to its existing global portfolio. Both resorts will offer appealing leisure amenities, including expansive pools, modern guestrooms and suites, elevated dining experiences and access to some of the region’s notable beaches.

In addition to growing the resort portfolio, partnering with Playa Hotels & Resorts also expands the company’s presence in the Caribbean and Latin America. Hilton currently operates a robust portfolio of nearly 140 hotels and resorts in the Caribbean and Latin America, including nearly 60 properties in Mexico. Approximately 90 properties are in the region’s development pipeline, which includes the first Tapestry Collection by Hilton hotel in Peru, as well as the first Waldorf Astoria Hotels & Resorts property in Mexico.
