The Hilton Los Cabos hotel is an upscale, beachside resort tropically stationed amidst the palm trees of the southern coast of Mexico’s Baja Peninsula. Our curated collection invokes contemporary culture and vibrant local history, embodying the region’s evolving identity, first as a remote outpost for missionaries and now as a destination for modern adventurers. 

Coastal Vibrations and Celebratory Culture at the Hilton Los Cabos

Read on to discover the artists who made this collection come to fruition!
