Hilton adds Guyana to growing portfolio
Hilton Hotels has added another country to its global presence, signing to open a dual branded project in Guyana where its Hilton and DoubleTree brands will launch.
The new build project in the country’s capital, Georgetown, will be developed by an affiliate of Assets Group, a Qatari based investor with a significant hospitality division. Assets Group has an established relationship with Hilton, having developed projects including the Waldorf Astoria Ithafushi in the Maldives, LXR in Katara Hills, AlRayyan Hotel, Curio Collection in Doha, and DoubleTree in Muscat Qurum.
For Hilton, the group’s arrival in Guyana will add to a fast growing presence in the Caribbean and Latin America, a region where Hilton has tripled in size over the last decade. Hilton has more than 225 hotels open across the region, plus a further pipeline of more than 170 properties destined to open within the next half dozen years. The Hilton and DoubleTree in Georgetown are expected to be ready for opening in 2027.
