Daxton joins Hilton group
Birmingham’s Daxton Hotel has officially become part of Curio Collection by Hilton, a prestigious global portfolio of 175 hotels through which visitors can use Hilton points for booking rooms. Opened in 2021 and owned by Mark Mitchell, the Daxton Hotel is home to 151 artfully appointed rooms and suites, designed for ultimate comfort. The bold look of Daxton Hotel features black marble and dark wood, and sets an authentically elegant tone. What pulls it back from excessive seriousness is its art collection, which includes more than 400 distinctive playful and colorful paintings and sculptures prominently displayed in the lobby and other public spaces. Owner Mark Mitchell said that the hotel was visited by Curio Collection officials who invited the Daxton to join the Curio Collection based on both the service and physical offerings of the hotel, as well as its dominance in the market. “With its bold design, elevated amenities, and vibrant energy, Daxton Hotel Birmingham is a welcomed addition to our portfolio,” said Brooke Thomas, senior director, Curio Collection by Hilton. “The hotel offers an elevated, immersive experience, and it will continue to inspire travelers with its artistry and personalized service, now with the added benefits of Hilton’s renowned hospitality and our award-winning guest loyalty program, Hilton Honors.” Mitchell said “the Mitchell family welcomes the addition of the Hilton benefits being offered” through the Curio Collection. The transition to join Curio Collection by Hilton marks a significant milestone for Daxton Hotel, which recently earned a rare Michelin Key. The Michelin Key is a new rating system for the most exceptional hotels worldwide. It evaluates Michelin Guide hotels for providing guests with an experience beyond accommodation, dining and a booking and review process.
