The Hilton Experience
Hilton’s top-tier lifestyle brands—Canopy, Tapestry Collection, and DoubleTree—bring together approachable comfort with strong local connections. Unlike Hilton’s elite luxury offerings, this tier focuses less on formality and more on accessibility, personality, and reliability. These are the hotels travelers book when they want style and substance without the intimidation factor.
Canopy by Hilton is Hilton’s fresh, design-forward lifestyle brand. Each property reflects the neighborhood it’s in, offering vibrant spaces, curated dining, and a modern, boutique feel. Canopy hotels often feel like a gateway to the local culture—ideal for travelers who want to immerse themselves in a destination without losing comfort.
Tapestry Collection by Hilton celebrates individuality through a portfolio of unique, independent-style hotels. Each property carries its own character, blending Hilton’s standards of service with a boutique feel. Tapestry works well for travelers who want a sense of discovery alongside the reliability of a global brand.
DoubleTree by Hilton is the most familiar face of the group, beloved for its warm welcome and signature chocolate chip cookie. DoubleTree balances consistency with global reach, offering stylish comfort at a price point that works for both business and leisure travelers.
Together, these brands represent Hilton’s top-tier lifestyle portfolio—less about extravagance, more about making travel easy, comfortable, and connected to place. For Black travelers, they often provide a sweet spot: properties that feel modern and welcoming, with locations in the neighborhoods, cities, and cultural hubs where our presence is strong.
