SINGAPORE – DoubleTree by Hilton, the upscale full-service brand of leading global hospitality company, Hilton (NYSE: HLT), has been providing business and leisure travelers with a warm welcome and thoughtful amenities for over 55 years. Today, the award-winning brand marks another significant milestone as it surpasses 100 properties in Asia Pacific, reinforcing Hilton's leadership and commitment to growth in one of the world's most dynamic hospitality markets.
This milestone is being driven by recent and upcoming hotel openings across the region, including:
- DoubleTree by Hilton Jakarta Kemayoran and DoubleTree by Hilton Jakarta Bintaro Jaya in Indonesia
- DoubleTree by Hilton Kyoto Station and DoubleTree by Hilton Osaka Castle in Japan
- DoubleTree by Hilton Bengaluru Whitefield in India and,
- DoubleTree by Hilton Yantai Golden Coast in China
The company’s recent franchise model expansion with the DoubleTree by Hilton brand is set to significantly boost this growth – offering owners in Greater China enhanced opportunities to leverage the brand’s strong market presence and Hilton’s robust commercial engine and network effect. This is particularly significant as demand is on the rise for quality and diverse travel experiences, as well as the warm and comfortable stays that the DoubleTree by Hilton brand is known for.
“The expanding footprint of DoubleTree by Hilton – now with more than 100 properties in Asia Pacific – reaffirms Hilton’s commitment to delivering warm hospitality and thoughtful service, catering to the dynamic needs of business and leisure travelers in gateway cities,” said Clarence Tan, senior vice president, Development, Asia Pacific. “Our expanded franchise model paves the way for further growth, as we stay focused on delivering reliable and friendly stays to guests, and best-in-class returns to owners. We are optimistic about the brand's growth momentum and look forward to capturing even more opportunities in this segment.”
