WHY IT RATES: Hilton is
offering international travelers more options when choosing a Mexican vacation.—Donald
Wood, Breaking News Senior Writer.
Global hospitality leader Hilton announced the signings of
two franchise agreements for the upcoming conversions of the 90-room Perla La
Paz, Tapestry Collection by Hilton in La Paz and 70-room Tropicana Los Cabos,
Tapestry Collection by Hilton in San Jose del Cabo.
Expected to open in early 2024, the properties will mark the
debut of Tapestry Collection by Hilton in Baja California, Mexico. Onirius
Hospitality Advisors served as the principal advisor for the development and
launch of both hotels.
The latest additions to the company’s portfolio continue to
build upon Hilton’s deep-rooted commitment to growing its presence and
unrivaled offerings for all types of travelers in Mexico, where Hilton has 90
hotels open and approximately 30 in the development pipeline.
“The Pacific Coast of Mexico represents an integral role in
Hilton’s larger organic growth strategy across this diverse destination as we
look to bolster our presence with world-class brands and add to our portfolio
of award-winning hotels in Baja California,” said Mario Carbone, managing
director, development, Mexico and Central America, Hilton. “These two important
hotel conversions propel our vision forward of introducing new brands in new
destinations while providing value for our owners and catering to our evolving
guests’ needs.”
“Both Perla La Paz and Tropicana Los Cabos will be great
additions to our expanding Tapestry Collection by Hilton portfolio across
Mexico and the brand’s global portfolio of over 115 hotels currently welcoming
guests around the world with more than 100 under development,” said Jenna
Hackett, brand leader, Tapestry Collection by Hilton. “Both of these unique
properties encapsulate the vibrant personality of La Paz and San Jose del Cabo
respectively and we look forward to offering guests authentic experiences at
each property as they explore Baja California.”
Perla La Paz, Tapestry Collection by Hilton
Built in 1940, the historic 90-room Hotel Perla recently
underwent a $10 million renovation and is expected to join the Hilton portfolio
as Perla La Paz, Tapestry Collection by Hilton in early 2024. Known as a
legendary hotel, Perla La Paz will continue to represent classic La Paz style
with a nod to its Art Deco history and modernization of the city. Located in
the golden zone of La Paz’s boardwalk, it is central to the charming city’s
restaurants and attractions alongside sweeping vistas of the Gulf of California
and Ensenada de La Paz.
Featuring a pastel pink façade and breezy outdoor terraces,
guests will be welcomed with a bright and airy ambiance adorned with pastel
pinks and greens, natural woods, checkered tiles, rattan furniture and warm
lighting. The hotel’s renovation includes all spacious remodeled rooms
surrounding the property’s courtyard. On the ground level, guests will enjoy a
full-service restaurant and lush terrace. The second level will be home to its
signature lounge El Mechudo, a state-of-the-art gym and spa. Guests can also
bask in the La Paz sun on the third level pool and bar or relax at Madre Perla
lounge.
Tropicana Los Cabos, Tapestry Collection by Hilton
Located just 500 feet from Plaza Mijares in the heart of the
coastal getaway of San Jose del Cabo, the Tropicana Inn is scheduled to debut
as Tropicana Los Cabos, Tapestry Collection by Hilton in early 2024. The
property is tucked in a quiet enclave near the city’s center and offers
proximity to some of San Jose del Cabo’s top destinations for dining, vibrant
art galleries and local shopping.
Tropicana Los Cabos, Tapestry Collection by Hilton captures
the Mexican colonial style from its veranda to its exposed dark-wood beams
adorning the high ceilings. The traditional design seamlessly continues
throughout the hotel’s 70 rooms, including two suites, featuring authentic
Mexican artwork and accents and the overall design encapsulates the spirit of
San Jose del Cabo’s historic center. The focal point of the hotel is a
floor-to-ceiling glass bar within its onsite restaurant where guests can dine
in the open-air café, outside patio or second-level veranda.
“We are excited to partner with Hilton to convert and
introduce these two storied properties for guests traveling to Baja
California,” said Luis Ruiz with Onirius Hospitality Advisors. Ruiz served as
the principal advisor for the development and launch of both hotels. “Coupled
with Hilton’s strategic vision for Mexico growth and prowess as a hospitality
leader, we’re delighted to provide guests with a truly unforgettable experience
as part of Tapestry Collection by Hilton whether they’re traveling to the state’s
capital of La Paz or the laid-back getaway of San Jose del Cabo.”
Perla La Paz, Tapestry Collection by Hilton and Tropicana
Los Cabos, Tapestry Collection by Hilton will participate in Hilton Honors, the
award-winning guest-loyalty program for Hilton’s world-class brands.
Both hotels join Hilton’s award-winning portfolio in Baja
California which includes renowned resorts Waldorf Astoria Los Cabos Pedregal
and Hilton Los Cabos. Throughout the Caribbean and Latin America, Hilton
currently has a portfolio of more 210 hotels welcoming travelers throughout the
region, and a development pipeline of approximately 115 hotels in various
stages of design and construction.
