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.
