Hilton
Worldwide today welcomed SLS
Las Vegas to its newest brand, Curio
– A Collection by Hilton. Curated for travelers who seek local
discovery and authentic experiences, Curio – A Collection by Hilton is a
carefully selected, global collection of distinctive four to five star
hotels.
SLS Las Vegas, owned by Stockbridge/SBE Holdings, LLC a joint venture of
Stockbridge Capital and sbe Entertainment Group, is located on the
bourgeoning north end of the Las Vegas Strip at the site of the former
Sahara Hotel and Casino – a location steeped in Las Vegas history. The
resort recently opened following a three-year, $415 million renovation
including: the redevelopment of three existing towers, a collection of
sbe’s most beloved brands and the introduction of original concepts in a
sophisticated, yet approachable setting.
"SLS Las Vegas is an exciting example of how Curio provides limitless
opportunities for the ambitions of hotel owners and the expectations of
their guests, backed up by the assurance the Hilton name provides and
the benefits of our HHonors loyalty program," said Dianna Vaughan,
global head, Curio – A Collection by Hilton. "SLS Las Vegas and The
Highland Dallas, the first two hotels to join Curio, illustrate the
range and diversity we are curating among these one-of-a-kind hotels
that embody the fabric of their communities."
The re-imagination of this 2.5 million square foot development features
more than 1,600 guest rooms and suites; 30,000 square feet of flexible
meeting space; a collection of seven Fred Segal retail boutiques and
nearly 60,000 feet of non-stop casino gaming action including a high
limit room and sports book operated by William Hill.
"What attracted us most to Hilton’s Curio brand is that it embraces the
unique personalities of the hotels in its collection," said Arash
Azarbarzin, President of sbe Hotel Group. "We've captured the best of
the best of sbe's award-winning hospitality brands at SLS Las Vegas and
in collaboration with our partners at Hilton, we're making that
experience available to their global community of guests."
Every element of SLS Las Vegas’ guest rooms, multi-concept restaurants
and social atmospheres was conceptualized by visionary Philippe Stark in
collaboration with Gensler. Starck’s innovative function-meets-pleasure
aesthetic has sculpted the finest restaurants, lounges and hotels in the
sbe portfolio and redefines the industry standard in Las Vegas.
