Hilton’s Tapestry Collection brand is planning to ramp up its development around the world, the company said this week.

That expansion already includes deals in unnamed Caribbean destinations, according to Hilton.

Tapestry Collection by Hilton added 14 new hotels last year, with more to come in 2019.

“As we celebrate entering our third year and our impressive growth since launch, we look forward to welcoming guests in new destinations,” said Jenna Hackett, global head, Tapestry Collection by Hilton. “Simultaneously, we are actively exploring new development opportunities that provide travelers with an original, vibrant hotel experience combined with the benefits of Hilton Honors.”

It’s all part of what has become a massive expansion push for Hilton in the Caribbean, from the Caribbean coast of Mexico to Belize to Antigua.

That’s along with its high-profile alliance with all-inclusive company Playa.

Just last week, Hilton announced plans to open its first-ever hotel in Grand Cayman.
