Summary:

  • Hilton reached 9,000 hotels worldwide with the opening of a Signia by Hilton in Texas.
  • The company passed key milestones, including 6,000 hotels in the U.S.
  • It has more than 3,600 hotels in development and plans a tenfold expansion in India.

HILTON WORLDWIDE HOLDINGS reached 9,000 hotels worldwide with the opening of Signia by Hilton La Cantera Resort & Spa in San Antonio, Texas, averaging nearly three openings per day since passing 8,000 a year ago. The property adds the Signia brand to Hilton’s portfolio in Texas and includes 496 rooms, 34 villas and an adults-only floor.


The company has more than 3,600 hotels under development globally and aims to expand tenfold in India, Hilton said in a statement. It also passed key milestones, including 6,000 hotels in the U.S.

“Much like we make a promise to our guests to deliver reliable and friendly stays, we are committed to being owners’ partner of choice,” said Christian Charnaux, Hilton’s executive vice president and chief development officer. “Reaching this milestone of 9,000 hotels is a testament to that commitment. Our brands consistently deliver performance for our owners, which enables us to deploy our brands—both existing and new—into markets around the world every day. With just 5 percent of the existing share of global rooms and 21 percent of rooms under construction, Hilton has an opportunity to grow our portfolio well beyond 9,000 hotels.”

Hilton now operates more than 1,000 luxury and lifestyle hotels worldwide and has signed more than 200 more this year, the statement said. The company reported 7.5 percent net unit growth in the second quarter of 2025, while systemwide RevPAR fell 0.5 percent year over year.
