Hilton podcasts reveal hidden stories behind five properties

A series of podcasts are being introduced by Hilton Worldwide to act as audio guides to hotels within its European portfolio.

The podcasts tell the hidden story behind five hotels from a variety of Hilton brands with a focus on architecture and design.

The collection includes restoration projects in Paris and Hamburg, a refurbishment inspired by a little known corner of Dublin, a London conversion on the city’s Bankside and a design focused concept in Reykjavik.

The chain’s architecture, design and construction senior vice president Gordon Coles said: “Whilst our hotel guests are excited to explore a city’s architecture or its design hotspots during their visit, the hotel itself can be overlooked – it is sometimes seen as just a place to lay your head or enjoy a nice meal after a long day of sightseeing or business meetings.

“We want to challenge this misconception by revealing the hidden stories of five very special European hotels.

“Each podcast tells a very different tale reflecting the diversity of our projects, but we hope listeners will be inspired to take a closer look at their hotel after learning a little bit more about its history and hearing one or two secrets.”
