A new hotel inspired by the golden age of air travel is set to open next year.
The Pan Am Hotel by Hilton, part of the company’s Tapestry Collection, is scheduled to debut in late spring 2026 at the Citadel Outlets in Commerce, California. The hotel aims to blend midcentury design elements reminiscent of the original Pan American World Airways with modern amenities, according to the Travel Trade Journal.
Owned by Newport Beach-based Craig Realty Group, the hotel will boast two full-service restaurants, a fitness center, and rooms equipped with large storage areas to accommodate oversized luggage.

The Grand Fountain, designed by WET Design – the creators of the Bellagio Fountain in Las Vegas – will be situated between the hotel and the adjacent retail outlets, offering a display of water, light, fire, and motion.​
The new hotel will be approximately 8 miles from downtown Los Angeles.
Hilton’s Pan Am Hotel isn’t the only vintage airline-themed accommodation in the U.S. Opened in 2019, the TWA Hotel at New York’s JFK Airport is located at the TWA Flight Center.
This facility was designed by architect Eero Saarinen and completed in 1962. The hotel features 512 rooms, along with a handful of bars and restaurants themed around the defunct airline’s brand.
