Thursday, July 4, 2024

DoubleTree by Hilton, the upscale full-service brand of Hilton, has been warmly welcoming business and leisure travelers with thoughtful amenities for over 55 years. Today, the award-winning brand celebrates a significant milestone, surpassing 100 properties in Asia Pacific, reinforcing Hilton’s leadership and commitment to growth in one of the world’s most dynamic hospitality markets.

This achievement is fueled 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
• DoubleTree by Hilton Yantai Golden Coast in China

The company’s recent expansion of its franchise model with the DoubleTree by Hilton brand is set to significantly boost 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 notable as demand rises for quality and diverse travel experiences, alongside the warm and comfortable stays that DoubleTree by Hilton 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 remained committed 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 symbol, underscoring its dedication to creating 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 goal of surpassing 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.
