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.”
Since its debut, DoubleTree by Hilton has stayed
true to its philosophy of making guests feel welcome with contemporary
accommodations, comfort food and thoughtful amenities. The brand’s signature
chocolate chip cookie continues to be a lasting trademark, underscoring its
commitment to prioritizing spaces and moments that leave guests uplifted and
inspired.
“With our 100th property milestone, DoubleTree by
Hilton’s continued growth in the region promises warm, friendly and
approachable hospitality to even more guests,” said Vincent Ong, vice
president, Brand Management, Full Service, Asia Pacific, Hilton. “As one of the
fastest-growing Hilton brands in Asia Pacific, we are excited to deliver a
double dose of comfort, starting from the moment guests come through our doors
to receive our signature, warm chocolate chip cookie right until they check
out.”
With nearly 80 additional DoubleTree by Hilton
properties in the Asia Pacific pipeline, the brand will contribute to Hilton's
target to surpass 1,000 trading hotels in the region by 2025. Recent key
signings, including DoubleTree by Hilton Kochi in India, the brand’s first in
the city, highlight DoubleTree by Hilton’s growth trajectory and commitment to
meeting the dynamic needs of travelers while enhancing its presence in the
region's most vibrant destinations.
