WUXI, China, 14 September 2026: Hilton confirms the opening of Xi Zhe Wuxi, Curio Collection by Hilton, marking Curio Collection by Hilton’s first property in Jiangsu Province.
Comprising a historic residence alongside a newly constructed building, the hotel’s design creates an urban retreat that blends historical heritage with contemporary comfort.
Located in Wuxi Centre 66, the hotel was developed by Hang Lung Properties and is managed by Hilton.
The story of Xi Zhe Wuxi, Curio Collection by Hilton begins with a notable residence at No. 118 Dongdajie Street. Built in 1933 by Wuxi entrepreneur Zhang Xiaocheng and his sister Zhang
Chuquan, the residence has been reimagined nearly a century later alongside a newly constructed building to form today’s hotel, blending Wuxi’s heritage with contemporary design.
“Today’s travellers are seeking stays that feel personal, authentic and deeply connected to their destination. Hilton’s lifestyle brands are designed to meet these evolving expectations, offering differentiated experiences that give guests the freedom to express themselves, discover local culture and connect in meaningful ways,” said Hilton Senior Director, Lifestyle & Collection Brands, Asia Pacific, Alexander Shockley.
Located in the heart of Wuxi and surrounded by historic residences of notable figures, the hotel features 105 guest rooms and suites across the historic residence and contemporary building.
To date, Hilton has introduced five lifestyle brands in China, including Canopy by Hilton, Curio Collection by Hilton, Tapestry Collection by Hilton, Motto by Hilton and Tempo by Hilton, which was newly introduced in July this year.
Since opening its first Asia Pacific property in Sanya, China, in 2017, the brand has expanded to destinations including Xiamen, Guangzhou, Hangzhou, Qingdao and Luoyang, becoming one of Hilton’s fastest-growing lifestyle brands in China.
