Curio - A Hotel Collection by Hilton Hints About New Expansion Plans in the Caribbean and Beyond

Curio - A Collection by Hilton recently announced its second property in Jamaica, Jewel Dunn’s River Beach Resort & Spa in Ocho Rios.

Fresh off the heels of the recent announcement that Curio - A Hotel Collection by Hilton secured its second hotel in Jamaica, Travel Agent got the skinny on where the growingly popular collection would like to be next in the Caribbean and beyond. 

We recently spoke with Dianna Vaughan, global head for Curio, who hinted that Curio is poised to make an aggressive push in the Caribbean and Latin America.

“There is a lot of interest in the Caribbean and Latin America,” says Vaughan. “Mexico, Panama, Colombia and Chile are all on our list.” 

Vaughan also says several resorts in the Dominican Republic are being looked at as a possible Curio destination. 

"We don't really have a number to cap, but we know we will have 25 open by the end of this year," she told us, "and that will be easy to do. And then 300 hotels in the next five years." 

As Hilton Worldwide’s growing global collection of distinctive hotels, Curio caters to passionate travelers seeking local discovery and authentic experiences. Curio – A Collection by Hilton is a global set of upscale and luxury hotels hand-picked for their unique character and personality.

"There is a lot potential in Hawaii," says Vaughan. "For example Waikiki and Maui are two locations that would be great for Curio."
