Leading global hospitality company Hilton (NYSE: HLT) today announced the debut of its award-winning Hampton by Hilton brand in Thailand through the signing of Hampton by Hilton Phuket Town, marking a strategic expansion in South East Asia’s thriving midscale segment. The signing underscores Hilton’s commitment to tripling its mid-market presence in the region. With this launch, Hilton will have nine brands operating in South East Asia, where it currently offers 110 properties and anticipates expanding its portfolio by more than 50 per cent in the coming years.
The upcoming Hampton by Hilton Phuket Town builds on Hilton’s recent growth momentum, including the recent signings of two new Hilton Garden Inn hotels in the Philippines – Hilton Garden Inn Manila Quezon City and Hilton Garden Inn Cebu Mactan – and three new Hilton Garden Inn properties in Vietnam, Malaysia, and Indonesia. It will also further solidify Hilton’s leadership in Thailand, which holds the global hospitality company’s largest portfolio in South East Asia, with 30 properties and 11 more in development.
Since its inception, Hampton by Hilton has been synonymous with providing guests with a best-in-class stay experience, thoughtfully designed accommodations and friendly, reliable service. Known also for its complimentary hot breakfast, premium sleep experience, and backed by the 100% Hampton Guarantee™, the brand has cultivated a loyal following of business and leisure travelers. Last year, the brand celebrated the opening of its 3,000th hotel globally as well as milestones including 10 years of operations in China.
