One of the World's Biggest Hotel Brands Is Finally Coming Back to Nassau — With an 11-Story Beachfront Debut

Hilton is returning to Nassau after years away — and it's bringing a brand new to the country along for the ride. The company announced a franchise agreement for Paradise Breeze Nassau, Curio Collection by Hilton, an 11-story new-build resort that will mark the debut of the Curio Collection brand in The Bahamas when it opens in 2028.

The 125-room property will sit on West Bay Street, a short drive from Lynden Pindling International Airport and within five miles of Nassau's core dining, shopping, and nightlife districts. The build is unusually amenity-heavy for a property this size. Plans call for nearly 15,000 square feet of spa and fitness space, padel and squash courts, more than 4,000 square feet of meeting space, and a 5,000-square-foot infinity-edge pool looking out over the Caribbean.

Dining is structured around three distinct concepts: an all-day beachfront restaurant overlooking the pool, a rooftop specialty venue built around ocean views, and a pool bar aimed at lighter, juice-and-tapas fare.

The signing is notable for two reasons. It extends Curio Collection — now approaching 200 hotels globally — into one of the Caribbean's most recognized leisure markets, and it deepens Hilton's push into The Bahamas, a country where the company has had only limited presence in recent years despite hosting some of the region's most iconic resort real estate.

Paradise Breeze will operate as a hybrid hotel-and-residential product, a model that has gained traction across the Caribbean as developers look to sell buyers a vacation home inside a managed resort. Hilton's executives framed the signing as part of a broader Caribbean growth push, with additional pipeline deals expected over the next two years. For Nassau, a destination long dominated by a handful of mega-resorts, a new-build branded collection hotel of this scale signals real confidence in the city's long-term tourism trajectory.
