“This is a landmark moment in our global plans to expand Hampton with the agreement to open our first property in the Middle East, and largest property so far,” said Phil Cordell, global head, focused service and Hampton brand management, Hilton Worldwide. “We recently celebrated the opening of the brand’s 2000th hotel and I am confident our award-winning combination of outstanding Hamptonality and value will prove hugely popular in the Middle East.”

In recent years, Hampton by Hilton has enjoyed repeated award-winning success in recognition of the brand’s unique guest offering and service style, reaching almost 200,000 guest rooms. In the Middle East, Hilton Garden Inn will make its Dubai debut this year with the opening of hotels in Al Mina and Al Muraqabat, joining Hilton Garden Inn Riyadh Olaya which is already welcoming guests and Hilton Garden Inn Dubai Mall of the Emirates, which is expected to open in 2016.
