“As we continue expanding our portfolio in key destinations across Latin America, we are thrilled to introduce a new brand in Brazil,” said Maxime Verstraete, Vice President, Brand Management, Caribbean and Latin America, Hilton. “Motto by Hilton Recife Antigo is shaped by the energy of the city and encourages gathering, creating a new type of stay for guests looking for one-of-a-kind local experiences in one of Brazil’s most captivating destinations.”
The hotel architecture and décor reflect the diverse landscapes of Pernambuco state, nestled between the arid interior and the sea. The ground floor embraces rustic design with warm earth tones, symbolising the drought of the interior. The rooftop space evokes the lightness and openness of the sea. Guest corridors feature Cordel literature-inspired illustrations, while colourful artisanal carpets foster authentic community connection.
