Hilton to Add 150 Hotels to Caribbean/Latin America

SAO PAOLO, BRAZIL-The multi-national hotel chain will quadruple its hotels with additions to Mexico, the Caribbean, Central America and South America.

SAO PAOLO, BRAZIL-The Hilton Hotels Corp. will add 150 new hotels to the Caribbean and Latin America portfolio during the next five years. This plan is part of the corporation’s goal to add 1,000 new hotels internationally in the next 10 years. Hilton Hotels did not return GlobeSt.com inquiries by deadline.

Currently, Hilton has 42 properties in the development pipeline for the Caribbean and Latin America. “Expanding our global platform is a strategic priority for Hilton,” said Steve Goldman, president, global development & real estate for Hilton Hotels Corp., in a statement. “We are focusing on accelerating the growth of our international management and franchise business by securing strategic development agreements and employing resources in international markets.”

Hilton will add 17 hotels to the 13 already in place in the Caribbean. The chain is picking gateway centers for each area, specifically in this region: San Juan, Trinidad and Nassau. The plan would put focused-service hotels like the Hilton Garden Inn or the Hampton Inn into these areas, as opposed to luxury hotels in Turks & Caicos, the Lesser Antilles and The Bahamas.
