Luxury Hotels Atlas / The Maison / Conrad

Conrad hotels

Contemporary hotels make time for local discovery, with outings sized to one, three or five hours.

Conrad brings contemporary architecture, substantial art collections, and local discovery to Hilton’s luxury portfolio. Named for Conrad Hilton and created by his son Barron in 1985, the brand offers a more modern design sensibility alongside Waldorf Astoria, with its 1/3/5 program suggesting experiences for one, three, or five hours in the destination.

51 Conrad hotels in 25 countries on the Luxury Hotels Atlas (1 not open yet), each placed on the six LHA Tiers.

• Owned by Hilton
• Worldwide: 53 hotels and resorts with about 17,700 rooms across 24 countries and five continents, the largest brand in Hilton's luxury portfolio, with dozens more in development.
• On the atlas: 3 Grand Luxury, 36 High Luxury, 10 Core Luxury, 2 Accessible Luxury

History

Conrad’s contemporary identity developed through substantial art collections, chef-led restaurants, and the 1/3/5 experience program. The last gives guests practical ways to explore a destination with one, three, or five hours available. Together, these threads make the hotel a place to spend time as well as a base for the city around it.
