MCLEAN, Va. – July 10, 2019 – Coming off the heels of its five-year milestone as a brand, Curio Collection by Hilton is significantly expanding its presence in the western United States with the addition of five hotels in Washington, New Mexico, California and Utah. This expansion brings Curio Collection’s portfolio to more than half of all U.S. states, providing travelers with one-of-a-kind accommodations in new climates, landscapes and elevations across the country.

“For those looking for relaxing desert getaways at the historic Hotel Andaluz Albuquerque or for rigorous adventures while hiking and rock climbing in the surrounding national parks at Hoodoo Moab, these additions offer a mix of local culture, food and the chance to explore the great outdoors,” said Mark Nogal, global head, Curio Collection by Hilton. “Over the past five years, we’ve delivered unique experiences to curious travelers in unexpected, emerging destinations, and with more than 60 hotels in our global pipeline, we’re just getting started.”

As travelers continue to seek out vacations in the West, 39 percent of online searches for vacations specifically reference the Rocky Mountains, Southwest and Far West regions of the United States. With the western landscape lining the backdrop of each newly added Curio Collection property, travelers will be closer than ever to iconic destinations across the region, such as Cliffrose Springdale’s proximity to Zion National Park in Utah or The Chrysalis Inn & Spa Bellingham’s location just minutes from Glacier Peak and the great Pacific Ocean in Washington. Each hotel will offer experiences, access and amenities specifically curated with each curiosity type’s interest in mind, whether that be epicureans indulging in top notch local cuisine, spiritualists finding tranquility in nearby deserts or pathfinders hiking mountains in the Pacific Northwest.

The following hotels have recently joined or will join the collection in the next few months:
