According to Hilton, the brand will further its “core cities and leisure destinations” growth strategy, expanding its footprint across transportation hubs and central business districts in China’s Tier 1 and Tier 2 cities alongside emerging travel destinations.
New signings span “high-growth regions” including the Greater Bay Area, the Chengdu-Chongqing economic circle and other high-growth, tourism-focused markets, says Hilton.
These leisure destinations include the brand’s foray into Lushan Scenic Area and Mingyue Mountain in Yichun, northern China. Opening in 2027, the 119-room garden-style Hilton Garden Inn Lushan Scenic Area is adjacent to Lulin Lake, offering panoramic sunset views and a scenic base for families and leisure travelers.
