Hilton Worldwide has welcomed the Highland Dallas to its newest brand, Curio – A Collection by Hilton. The hotel joined the company’s portfolio of brands following a change of ownership from the Hotel Palomar Dallas on August 6th.
Originally opened in the 1960s as the nine-story Hilton Inn, the hotel is known for hosting pianists at the Harper’s Corner penthouse and for its tiki room- a former Trader Vic’s Polynesian bar-restaurant.
“It’s fitting that one of the first hotels to join Curio is a former Hilton property; while it returns to the Hilton portfolio, it will retain the unique identity it has developed over the past several decades,” says Dianna Vaughan, global head of Curio. “This perfectly illustrates how the brand encourages hotels to preserve what makes them special while also offering new opportunities.”
The Highland Dallas has two presidential suites on its top two floors, and more than 9,000 square feet of meeting space is available throughout eight meeting rooms, including the Opus Grand ballroom. The hotel’s new restaurant Knife, a modern steakhouse and bar, will remain, as will hotel spa Exhale.
