Hilton announces the signing of three new lifestyle properties in Southeast Asia: a Curio Collection by Hilton in Phuket, a Tapestry Collection by Hilton in Chiang Mai, and the first Tapestry Collection by Hilton in the Maldives. These signings strengthen the Group’s lifestyle portfolio in the region, as Hilton accelerates its luxury and lifestyle development across Asia Pacific, with the ambition of surpassing 250 hotels in these segments.

In Phuket, Andamanda Voyage, Curio Collection by Hilton, will open in late 2026 within the Andamanda water park complex, in the Kathu district.
