Hilton Hotels & Resorts, the American multinational hospitality company, announced its latest brand on Wednesday — Spark by Hilton. This new addition to its portfolio focuses on premium economy lodging and hopes to provide travelers with great and practical amenities for a budget-friendly price. 

Spark by Hilton hotels will have a more minimal and modern vibe and will enter the economy segment by offering rooms for around $85 to $100 per night.

Spark by Hilton is the company’s 19th brand, and there are more than 100 deals in development across the United States. The company expects to open the first properties by the end of this year, so you can expect to see a Spark near you soon.

Just a few months ago, Hilton also announced a new hotel brand called Tempo by Hilton that debuted in New York City. The company keeps growing and improving its services to provide travelers with great accommodation alternatives. They also recently included new amenities like Peloton bikes in all 5,400 Hilton hotels in the U.S. in 2022.

  • Simplicity: This new brand stays away from luxury and glamorous experiences and embraces simplicity.

  • Reliable Service: Hilton expects to provide a helpful service, including attentive staff, 24-hour digital check-in, digital keys, and all basic amenities.

More details about the properties, the amenities, the experience, and opening dates should be available throughout the year.

Hilton’s Expansion And Expectations

With this new brand, Hilton expands in the market and becomes an active competitor. Travelers can change from luxurious all-inclusive resorts in Mexico to the new simple and practical accommodations at Spark by Hilton when it better suits their needs. Now that Airbnb is losing popularity and more travelers are interested again in hotels, this could be a great budget-friendly option for busy travelers.

The hotel company opened a new brand away from luxury but with the hope of still making a difference and providing a distinguished service in the segment. Matt Schuyler, the chief brand officer at Hilton, said: “In looking at the economy category, we saw a segment that has grown dramatically but lacks consistency, providing us an opportunity to deliver on the needs of this underserved segment of travelers.”

If Hilton's words hold true, travelers can expect Spark to be a hotel they are familiar with no matter which one they stay in. Hotel style and experience will be consistent across the different Spark properties and travelers will be able to enjoy an elevated economy-level experience without a large increase in cost.
