With a primary focus on expanding its focused-service, extended-stay, and lifestyle brand portfolios, Hilton has reached the 200-property milestone in Canada on the heels of three recent openings.
The Hotel Vallea Bromont, Tapestry Collection by Hilton, Home2 Suites by Hilton Woodstock ON and Spark by Hulton Toronto Mississauga all debuted recently. Over the past decade, Hilton has nearly doubled its portfolio in Canada, driven largely by the rapid expansion of its focused-service brands, which represent approximately half of its overall growth in the country.
“Surpassing 200 open hotels in Canada is a powerful testament to our momentum in the market,” Matt Wehling, SVP, development, U.S. and Canada, Hilton, said in a statement. “This success is fueled by the strong relationships we’ve built with our owners, supported by our regional, in-market expertise that reinforces our long-term development strategy and drives operational excellence at every stage.”
Hilton continues to accelerate its multi-brand expansion in Canada with more than 100 hotels currently in the development pipeline across key growth markets and categories. Development milestones include the first Motto by Hilton in Canada—slated to open in Montreal in 2028—and the country’s inaugural Tempo by Hilton, which is planned for Toronto in 2029.
Additionally, more than 20 new hotels across multiple brands in priority growth markets are expected to join the Hilton portfolio over the next year. Some of those properties include the DoubleTree by Hilton North Vancouver; Hampton Inn by Hilton Calgary Downtown; Homewood Suites by Hilton Surrey; Home2 Suites by Hilton Vaughan Toronto; Tru by Hilton Milton; and several Spark by Hilton hotels spanning the country from Calgary to Montreal.
In the past decade, Hilton added nearly 50 properties across Hampton by Hilton, Hilton Garden Inn, and Tru by Hilton brands, as well as the more recently introduced Spark by Hilton flag, which debuted in Canada last year with Spark by Hilton Toronto Markham. Extended-stay has also emerged as one of Hilton’s strongest-performing categories in Canada, having doubled in size over the past decade with the Homewood Suites by Hilton and Home2 Suites by Hilton brands.
