Here are 10 new Hilton hotels you’ll want to visit in 2022

We have been working with Hilton to bring you details of 10 new Hilton Honors hotels opening in 2022 which would resonate with a UK audience. They chose well, and I think that most of you will find at least a couple of these properties tempting.

Reykjavík

Iceland Parliament Hotel, Curio Collection by Hilton

The Iceland Parliament Hotel will be a complex of seven rebuilt and new buildings at the doorstep of the Icelandic parliament – Alþingi. The hotel is well connected, surrounded by three different squares, close to the cathedral, city hall, and the upcoming harbour area.

Santorini

Sea Breeze Santorini, Curio Collection by Hilton

We’ve previously covered Sea Breeze Santorini Beach Resort which, uniquely in Santorini, has its own private beach. This boutique hotel (it only has 37 rooms!) is located on Santorini’s soutern tip, 2km from Vlichada. Each room has its on private terrace as well as hot tub or pool. There are two further pools, a spa and two restaurants and bars. The hotel opens in Spring 2022.

Krakow

Hotel Saski Krakow, Curio Collection by Hilton

Set in the centre of Krakow’s old town, adjacent to the historic Main Square, the 200 year old Hotel Saski Krakow is undergoing a multi-million pound refurbishment before joining Hilton’s Curio Collection. It features a grand concert hall that has hosted composers such as Franz Liszt and Johannes Brahms. The 113 rooms, public areas and concert hall will all be refurbished before re-opening in Summer 2022.

Mallorca

The Mallorca Galatzo hotel will become an official Hilton hotel when it reopens in Summer 2022 following a refurbishment program.

Two restaurants, the pool lounge and lobby bar will offer locally inspired food and drinks. There’s also a spa and grand ballroom. Opens Autumn 2022.

St Albans

The Samuel Ryder Hotel St. Albans, Tapestry Collection by Hilton

Hilton has just opened its first UK Tapestry Collection hotel in the Roman city of St Albans, but we thought it was still worth squeezing into this 2022 preview. The hotel is situated in the former headquarters of the Ryder & Son seed business, a 1911 building just opposite the cathedral. Inspired by the business itself the hotel features simple but beautiful interiors with lots of green. The website is here.

Dubai

Hilton Dubai Palm Jumeirah

A new Hilton resort is opening on Dubai’s Palm West Beach. The hotel has 608 rooms with great views of the Dubai Marina skyline. It’s just 10 minutes away from Aquaventure Waterpark and aquarium at Atlantic. Families are welcome with a play area, shaded kids’ pool and kids club. A spa and salon complete the resort. Opens Spring 2022 after a slight delay – we had this on our list of new openings for last year! The hotel website is here.

You can see last year’s top new Hilton openings here – these are all now open I think, apart from the Dubai hotel above.
