LONDON— According to recent reports, Conrad Hotels, part of the Hilton Hotels Group, is eyeing locations in the U.K. for brand expansion. There are currently 13 Conrad hotels on four continents, including properties here and in Dublin. David Michels, chief executive of the Hilton Group, was recently quoted as saying: “There is without question more room in the market for additional luxury hotels to complement the existing portfolio of Conrad properties.” The latest Conrad opened as the Waldorf Towers, an exclusive 180 room hotel in New York. The hotel, which occupies the upper floors of the world famous Waldorf Astoria, has been the New York home of every sitting U.S. President since Herbert Hoover.
