Canopy has already attracted the interest of ownership groups including The Buccini/Pollin Group, KeyStone, Anish Hotel Group, Baywood Hotels, North Point Hospitality Group, J Street Hospitality, and Levine Properties.

Each property is designed as a natural extension of its neighbourhood, with local design, food and drink.

Hilton Worldwide global brands executive vice-president Jim Holthouser said: "The demands and preferences of today’s travellers continue to evolve, and Canopy by Hilton creates something new for consumers in the lifestyle space.

"Canopy by Hilton will deliver more choice and control for guests than ever before, from a mobile straight-to-room arrival to surprising extras throughout each stay."
