Canopy by Hilton’s design ethos is rooted in enhancing the local experience, with a distinctive, location-specific identity that resonates with each country or city. We believe in narrating the story of the neighbourhood through our design, capturing its essence, and infusing it into every aspect. From the walls adorned with works by local artists to the rooms brightened by local finds—whether in fabrics or furniture—we embody the spirit of the locale. Local architecture, renowned for seamlessly blending traditional and modern styles, serves as a significant influence on our design philosophy. Drawing inspiration from the golden age of brutalist concrete architecture, our facades are rhythmically composed of concrete panels with a context-sensitive sandy finish, paying homage to the country's cultural heritage and contemporary development. The open, welcoming lobby—a luminous streetlamp in the neighbourhood that brings the hotel and the city together. Canopy offers an authentic, boutique-hotel experience with meticulously crafted hotel design and the infusion of art and music from the community. Canopy guests will enjoy an immersive stay, becoming a part of the local tapestry.
