HILTON has revealed 10 new locations are set to come to the UK – and one is coming to a major capital city.

The new hotels will form part of the chain’s “value-focused” brand.

Ten new hotels, operating under the Spark by Hilton brand, are set to come to major railway stations, stadiums, motorways and visitor attractions across the UK.

The locations, confirmed to open in Cardiff, Coventry, Derby, Doncaster – among others will add a total of 672 rooms to Hilton’s portfolio.

Created with “value” in mind, the sites will provide reliable, comfortable and affordable accommodation.

Exact dates of completion and room rates are yet to be confirmed, however the company said the new locations could open as early as late 2026 through to 2028.
