THE METROPOLITAN
TRENDSETTER
There are few things more exciting when traveling than exploring a new city—becoming a temporary resident of the world’s greatest metropolises. The metropolitan trendsetter is a traveler who thrives on a city’s energy and is hungry for culture, gastronomy, design, art, history, and enrichment. When exploring a new city, having a luxurious, trusted base is more important than ever, a plush and peaceful enclave to retreat to after a day of adventure. Hilton properties are in the world’s most significant and rousing cities, from old favourites to enigmatic new discoveries, offering iconic locations, world-leading design and architecture, dining, five-star luxury, and more.
CONRAD BANGKOK
Bangkok is a city that grabs your heart and doesn’t let go. When it has you, it has you—with its wondrous mix of old and new, the skyscrapers standing beside colorful old hawker stalls and the floating markets on the Chao Phraya River. Amid the endearing mayhem of Thailand’s capital, it's deeply appreciated to have somewhere peaceful and refined—a property that’s stood the test of time, while remaining accessible and convenient. This is where Conrad Bangkok steps in. Surrounded by some of the city’s most prestigious addresses in the vibrant central business district, Conrad Bangkok is the kind of place where you can check in at midnight, rise at midday after a night exploring the pulsating city, and spend the rest of the day in ultimate luxury—recovering just in time for another evening of colorful hawker stalls. In fact, exclusive historic quarters, premier shopping malls, and cultural sites are just a short drive away. The hotel also offers a complimentary shuttle bus service.
The property’s 391 rooms are a cocoon of comfort and style—exactly what you want in such a vivid city—featuring creams, wooden tones, soft furnishings, and plush rugs. The Seasons Spa feels almost tailor-made for the metropolitan trendsetter, catering to the needs of both business and leisure travelers, offering everything from languid to power treatments. Wellness is a key focus, helping guests stay relaxed in this intoxicatingly exciting city. Conrad Bangkok is also the capital’s only hotel with both tennis and pickleball courts. There’s an outdoor free-form, temperature-controlled pool and whirlpool surrounded by lush greenery and sun loungers, creating a true urban resort experience.
Days in Bangkok can be curated to match each Metropolitan Trendsetter’s exact tastes. For foodies, few destinations compare. For culture seekers, there's the nearby Four-Faced Buddha at the Erawan Shrine and scenic strolls through Lumphini or Benjakitti Park. Conrad Bangkok is deeply rooted in the local community and offers curated explorations designed just as locals would plan them. Or, if you prefer a peaceful day at the hotel, choose from circuit training classes, morning workouts, Thai tea or dessert cooking classes, a mocktail workshop for kids, DIY facial gua sha, and more—one of the few hotels in Bangkok to provide such a diverse range of activities. In a city so nuanced, diverse, and eclectic, Conrad Bangkok offers a luxurious home away from home—a plush haven, no matter how long your stay.
CONRAD MANILA
Located in the reaches of southeastern Asia, the Philippines is often enigmatic to travelers from the West. This beautiful country has white-sand beaches and seas to rival the Caribbean, and its hospitality and warmth radiate across the globe through its vibrant diaspora. The entry point for this spellbinding land is the capital, Manila—a bayside metropolis where Spanish colonial architecture jostles with modern skyscrapers. Conrad Manila sits right where the city meets the bay, offering exquisite sunset views and a prime position to explore Manila’s top attractions. Staying here allows travelers to make the most of their stay in this warm Southeast Asian nation, be it for a week or a weekend en route to an idyllic Philippine island.
Guests at Conrad Manila see firsthand one of the Philippines’ most prized assets: its hospitality—warmth, friendliness, and eagerness to make each guest feel completely at home. The feeling is modern luxury, but with heritage and soul at its core, making it a Manila attraction in itself, not just a place to explore attractions from. Some of the city’s best dining outlets are in-house, like China Blue by Jereme Leung and Brasserie on 3, while the Conrad Manila Spa is one of the best in the capital—with earthy minimalist tones and signature treatments like the Traditional Hilot, Kalinga Detoxifier, and Chakra Balancing, blending ancient healing techniques with modern approaches.
Conrad MANILA
For the metropolitan trendsetter keen on exploring the city, this is the hotel to do it from. The property is situated within the renowned Mall of Asia Complex, offering stunning views of Manila Bay and the city skyline, and providing direct access to shopping, dining, and entertainment. Not too far is Old Manila, home to the baroque 16th-century San Agustin Church and Fort Santiago, a historic citadel and former military prison. Filipino heritage and culture can also be experienced without leaving the property. Gallery C commands attention as a showcase of the evolving Philippine art scene with a roster of exhibitions. Along with its tourism, Manila is also making way when it comes to sustainable traveling—and Conrad Manila holds LEED Gold Certification and has been named an ASEAN Green Hotel. For the first-time or return traveler to the Philippines, for an overnight or week-long stay, there are few better bases than Conrad Manila.
CONRAD SINGAPORE MARINA BAY
Overlooking the jade-green waters of the South China Sea, Conrad Singapore Marina Bay is an icon of the Singapore skyline, surrounded by some of the world’s most iconic structures and attractions. This is a perfect hotel for families, and from its 31 stories above Marina Bay, guests can map out their adventures to Kiztopia, ArtScience Museum, Singapore Flyer, Gardens by the Bay, and Universal Studios Singapore. In fact, Conrad Singapore Marina Bay is one of the most child-friendly hotels in the city: there’s complimentary dining for children under 6 and 50% off for ages 7–12, and little ones’ stays are enhanced with special touches, including bath amenities, bathrobes, step stools, cribs, and special in-room dining menus. For something truly memorable, a charming glamping site can be organized in your room.
Conrad Singapore Marina Bay
Conrad Singapore Marina Bay (formerly known as Conrad Centennial Singapore) has occupied the Singapore skyline for over 22 years as a beacon of post-modernist ’90s design, and its harmonious feng shui–inspired lobby and 3,400 pieces of original artwork delight aesthetes and attract a mix of global travelers, for both leisure and business. Those looking for a culture-filled city break imbued with exploration should look no further, as its location is moments from Singapore’s best museums, Marina Bay, the famed F1 Marina Bay Street Circuit, the National Gallery, The Esplanade, Singapore Sports Hub, and more. Those wanting luxury will love its culinary experiences, spa and wellness facilities, rooftop pool, and 24-hour fitness facilities. Conrad Singapore Marina Bay keeps up with the modern metropolitan traveler due to its outstanding location, allowing guests to slowly fall in love with this gleaming island state and its pioneering history.
HILTON SAIGON
Commerce and culture intertwine in a vibrant, colorful haze in Ho Chi Minh City, the capital of Vietnam. The city has evolved at an electrifying pace, giving rise to cafés, restaurants, cocktail bars, and creative districts, and, in turn, a boom in trendy hotels. The latest is Hilton Saigon, which opened its doors in the city’s lively financial hub early 2024. Shiny, elegant, calming, and balancing serenity and vibrancy, Hilton Saigon is the ideal city base for the metropolitan explorer, a traveler who wants to get to the heart of a city and understand its DNA, not just its glossy exterior.
For starters, it’s located in District 1, a thriving residential and financial area—lived in and bustling with locals—guests of Hilton Saigon are thrown headfirst into dizzying city life. The best of the city is on its doorstep: the banks of the Saigon River, the Saigon Notre Dame Cathedral, Saigon Central Post Office, and the Saigon Opera House. Most importantly, they are all within walking distance—perhaps the most important deciding factor of them all.
The city is booming, and Hilton Saigon, as one of the latest offerings, manages to offer a deep sense of security, modernity, and relaxation. Rooms take inspiration from local Vietnamese interiors, cocooning guests in culture and heritage and balancing the old and new. Days roaming on foot come to an end at the hotel’s iteration of Hilton’s award-winning eforea Spa, which offers locally inspired treatments. Appetites are satiated at four distinct dining concepts championing both Vietnamese and international cuisine; the hotel is a microcosm of Ho Chi Minh City’s famous foodie scene. A rooftop bar undoubtedly occupies the must-do list of the metropolitan trendsetter. Hilton Saigon’s 39th-floor Residence Eleven and rooftop Song Bar are already destinations in their own right, with mesmerizing views across the twinkling sprawl and Saigon River.
