Carlos Khneisser, vice president, development, Middle East & Africa, Hilton, said, “The introduction of Hilton Garden Inn to Mauritius is an important milestone as we continue to expand our presence in key locations in Africa and the Indian Ocean. We are proud of our partnership with Ebène Square Ltd and believe Hilton Garden Inn Phoenix Mauritius will bring a positive impact by serving as an economic engine for the local community, while also providing travelers with the brand’s signature positive and upbeat service.”
Alan Roberts, global brand head, Hilton Garden Inn said, “We are excited to add Mauritius to Hilton Garden Inn’s portfolio of destinations. We see a clear opportunity for the brand to cater to the island’s growing corporate travel market, particularly given Hilton Garden Inn Phoenix Mauritius’s proximity to commercial offices in Phoenix and Ebène.

Dev Ramnah, managing director, Ebène Square Ltd, said, “The signing of Hilton Garden Inn Phoenix Mauritius is significant for us because it marks the introduction of the first Hilton Garden Inn in the country. We are delighted to partner with Hilton on this project because of the strength and recognition the hospitality company brings. The introduction of the hotel to Mauritius will contribute to the development of Phoenix and the surrounding region, further positioning it as a vibrant and dynamic town. It will provide great economic benefit through employment of locals while promoting increased tourism, leisure, and business travel.”
