Walid Zakaria, CEO of Depa's Abu Dhabi office, said: "This contract reflects Depa's standing as a trusted partner for global brands like Hilton.
"Our industry expertise has led our Abu Dhabi office alone to sign approximately AED450m of contracts in the hospitality sector so far this year, including two sets of internal decoration works for Hilton Hotels; one in Abu Dhabi and the other in Riyadh."
He added that the hospitality sector in the GCC was seeing strong performance with new hotels being announced and others needing renovation.
"This should fuel growth for Depa in 2013," Zakaria said.
Depa is also working on the Conrad Hotel in Dubai, Hilton's luxury brand, where the fit-out contract is worth AED250m and is due to be completed in the coming months.
