DoubleTree by Hilton, One of Hilton’s fastest-growing brands, sets its sights on upcoming urban destinations across the region to seize travel recovery momentum
DoubleTree by Hilton continues to expand its footprint in Southeast Asia to coincide with return of intra-regional travel as borders and dedicated travel lanes begin to open. Signaling the brand’s robust growth momentum, Hilton is slated to open 15 DoubleTree by Hilton hotels in Southeast Asia over the coming years across key and emerging destinations.
Over the past year, Hilton has launched brand-defining hotels and resorts under the DoubleTree by Hilton brand across the region, with notable debuts in new destinations, such as DoubleTree by Hilton Weerawila Rajawarna Resort in Sri Lanka and DoubleTree by Hilton Surabaya, which marked Hilton’s entry into Indonesia’s second-largest city. Most recently, DoubleTree by Hilton Putrajaya Lakeside opened its doors in Malaysia as the latest urban resort strategically located close to Kuala Lumpur, which is also one of the region’s key gateway cities. The 291-room hotel is Hilton’s first in Putrajaya, Malaysia’s administrative capital.
Over the coming years, the award-winning brand will mark its entrance into emerging destinations across Southeast Asia – catering to leisure and business travellers alike – supported by the region’s robust tourism potential in the long-term. DoubleTree by Hilton Shah Alam i-City, Malaysia, is set to open in 2022 as part of the much-anticipated i-City mixed development in Selangor’s Golden Triangle. The 300-room property will redefine MICE experiences, and feature state-of-the-art technology and a total of 1,000 square meters of function space spread over two floors.
Another potential MICE property in Malaysia, DoubleTree by Hilton Damai Laut Resort will combine scenic view of the Malacca Straits with 294 guest rooms when it opens in 2023.
As part of a landmark mixed-use development in Bintaro Jaya, a satellite district in the Greater Jakarta area, the 185-room DoubleTree by Hilton Jakarta Bintaro Jaya Xchange in Indonesia will be situated conveniently alongside an 85,000 square meter shopping mall featuring world-class retail brands and a 7,354 square meter Oceanarium.
When it opens in 2024, the 147-room DoubleTree by Hilton Negombo Resort will mark Hilton’s arrival to the seaside town of Negombo on the west coast of Sri Lanka, renowned for the beauty of the Negombo Lagoon and Dutch-era heritage buildings.
“DoubleTree by Hilton offers guests a double-dose of comfort and an uplifting space where guests can unwind and be their everyday selves,” says Alexandra Jaritz, senior vice president, brand management, Asia Pacific, Hilton. “Our continued expansion in South East Asia signifies the trust that our guests and partners across the region have in the brand. Guests know they can rely on DoubleTree by Hilton for a broad range of amenities and friendly service that embodies DoubleTree’s generous spirit anchored by the brand’s signature, warm DoubleTree chocolate chip cookie welcome.”
