Hilton Highlights Cold-Weather Retreats for Winter Travel
As winter travel gains momentum, accommodation comfort is increasingly influencing destination choices alongside outdoor activities. Across its portfolio, Hilton features a range of properties in colder climates that focus on warmth, design, and restorative amenities, offering travellers places to slow down and spend time indoors during the season.
London, United Kingdom
In Covent Garden, NoMad London blends a historic setting with contemporary interiors. Guest rooms incorporate curated artwork and residential-style layouts, while select suites include freestanding bathtubs and heated floors. Public areas such as the Library lounge provide quiet indoor spaces for reading or informal dining, appealing to travellers seeking a low-key urban stay during winter.
Cologne, Germany
Wasserturm Hotel Cologne, part of the Curio Collection, is housed in a former 19th-century water tower. The property combines industrial architecture with modern interiors and offers city views from its rooftop terrace. Seasonal events and indoor gathering spaces provide alternatives to outdoor sightseeing during colder months.
Niagara Falls, Canada
The cold winter conditions transform the landscape around Niagara Falls, where DoubleTree Fallsview Resort & Spa by Hilton offers views of the falls, river, or city. The hotel includes indoor pools, a sauna, spa facilities, and on-site dining, allowing guests to balance outdoor viewing with indoor relaxation.
Jezersko Valley, Slovenia
Set in a quiet Alpine region, Vila Planinka, an SLH property, focuses on natural materials and locally influenced design. Rooms face surrounding mountains, and the hotel emphasises seasonal dining and regional wines. The cold setting caters to travellers seeking limited activity and a nature-oriented winter stay.
Hokkaido, Japan
At the base of Mount Annupuri, Hilton Niseko Village provides ski-in, ski-out access and gondola connections to nearby slopes. Indoor amenities include traditional onsen baths using natural hot spring water, offering guests a place to recover after time outdoors.
Milan, Italy
Located in Parco Nord, Grand Hotel Villa Torretta Milan Sesto occupies a restored 17th-century residence. The property combines historic architectural features with contemporary hospitality and includes a restaurant focused on regional Italian cuisine. Its location allows guests to stay outside the city centre while remaining connected to Milan.
Near Nantes, France
Just outside the city, Château de Maubreuil, an SLH hotel, offers individually themed suites and landscaped grounds. Indoor facilities such as a spa, lounges, and dining areas support longer stays during colder weather, with limited need for daily excursions.
Whistler, Canada
In British Columbia, Hilton Whistler Resort & Spa is positioned close to ski lifts and mountain transport. The property includes heated outdoor and indoor facilities, equipment storage, and easy access to the village, making it suitable for travellers combining winter sports with downtime.
Together, these properties illustrate how winter travel is increasingly shaped by accommodation that prioritises indoor comfort, wellness facilities, and flexible pacing, alongside access to seasonal landscapes and activities.
