Hilton signs two new mid-market hotels for Dubai

Hilton Worldwide has signed an agreement with Wasl Hospitality and Leisure to open a further two mid-market properties in Dubai under its Hampton by Hilton and Hilton Garden Inn brands.

Hilton Garden Inn Bur Dubai will comprise 292 rooms and will be located along the Dubai Creek. The hotel will feature two F&B outlets, multi-functional meeting rooms, a Pavilion Pantry, and swimming pool and health club.

Hampton by Hilton Dubai Al Mina will be located near the Dubai Creek and Port Rashid.

The property will comprise 206 rooms, with a breakfast area, a bar and meeting zone, and a gym and swimming pool.

Both hotels will open in early 2019, adding almost 500 rooms to Hilton’s MEA portfolio, and Dubai’s mid-market inventory in the run up to 2020.

Phil Cordell, global head, focused service and Hampton brand management, Hilton Worldwide said: “Having recently announced the world’s largest Hampton in Dubai, we are thrilled to be confirming two additional focused-service projects for the UAE, which adds to our fast-growing portfolio of Hilton Garden Inn and Hampton by Hilton hotels in the Middle East & Africa.

Wasl Asset Management Group CEO Hashem Al Qassim said: “With the arrival of Hilton Garden Inn this year in Al Mina and Al Muraqabat, we are delighted to be adding a further two properties to our growing portfolio with Hilton Worldwide.

“We believe there is significant opportunity for the growth of the mid-market segment in Dubai and by working with Hilton, a leader in the industry, more and more travelers will be able to experience award winning Hilton Garden Inn and Hampton by Hilton hospitality.”
