Hilton today unveiled Apartment Collection by Hilton, a new lodging category offering fully furnished studio to four-bedroom apartments with chef-ready kitchens, in-unit laundry and separate living areas. Available for booking in the first half of 2026 in New York City, Washington, D.C. and Atlanta, the brand launches with an initial pipeline of 3,000 units through a partnership with Placemakr and builds on Hilton’s existing 10,000 apartment-style units. Each property will feature 24/7 on-site host teams, fitness centers, and in select locations rooftop pools, communal workspaces and local retail. Integrated into Hilton Honors, the new brand allows members to earn and redeem points while benefiting from exclusive member discounts and free standard Wi-Fi.

Hilton’s Board of Directors has approved a $3.5 billion increase to its stock repurchase program, raising the total authorized capacity to approximately $4.6 billion. Under the expanded program, Hilton may repurchase shares through open-market purchases, privately negotiated transactions or SEC-compliant plans, with timing and volume dependent on liquidity, cash flow and market conditions. The company’s decision reflects confidence in its cash generation and capital allocation strategy, while preserving flexibility to suspend or discontinue repurchases as circumstances warrant.
