Pushing for international growth, DoubleTree by Hilton has its sights set on APAC, placing nearly half of its 200 planned hotels in the region. According to the hospitality company’s latest statements, 14 new DoubleTree by Hilton properties are set to open this year across China, Thailand, Indonesia, Australia, Sri Lanka and New Zealand — adding to the almost 560 existing properties currently in its portfolio.

“Hilton is leading the hotel construction pipeline in China, with DoubleTree by Hilton being our second fastest-growing brand in the region with more than 100 planned projects and an aggregate of close to 27,000 rooms,” said Sean Wooden, vice president of brand management, Asia Pacific, Hilton.

“We look forward to continuing our upward trajectory”

“While we reached a tremendous milestone of 50 DoubleTree by Hilton properties in the Asia Pacific in 2018, we look forward to continuing our upward trajectory of growth with 14 DoubleTree by Hilton properties opening this year. These properties further our mission to be the most hospitable company in the world as we demonstrate our commitment by being where our guests want to travel across the region.”
