First Asia Pacific Hampton by Hilton Opens

Hampton Hotels, part of the Hilton Worldwide portfolio, announced the opening of its first Hampton by Hilton hotel in Asia Pacific – Hampton by Hilton Vadodara-Alkapuri – in India.

Located in the heart of the business and shopping districts of Vadodara, the 72-room Hampton by Hilton Vadodara-Alkapuri is a 15-minute drive from Vadodara Airport and close to large companies, the Maharaja Sayajirao Gaekwad University (MSU), Baroda Museum and Gallery, and the Makaroura and Laxmi Vilas palaces.

Hampton Global Head Phil Cordell said, “Hampton Hotels continues to grow its global footprint. With the addition of our first Hampton by Hilton in India, this property establishes the brand as a true global brand that is driven by strong developers who understand the value of the Hampton brand and the investment opportunities it has to offer. This is a strong viable hotel brand that meets market demand and the needs of the global traveler.”

Hilton Worldwide President Asia Pacific Martin Rinck said, “India offers tremendous potential for Hilton Worldwide’s extensive portfolio of 10 brands. With the launch of Hampton by Hilton Vadodara-Alkapuri, Hilton Worldwide now manages eight hotels under four brands in the country. We have opened six hotels in India this year, and we plan to launch four more hotels over the next seven months. At the current pace, we hope to triple our presence in the country in the next two years.”
