Hilton has signed two deals that will see the group opening its first Waldorf Astoria hotel in Osaka, Japan; and a Conrad hotel in Chongqing, China.
The two management agreements were inked with Orix Real Estate Corporation and Chongqing Jiafa Industrial Co., respectively.
Alan Watts, president, Asia Pacific, Hilton, said: “The strong growth momentum in Asia demonstrates the resilience of Hilton’s luxury brands amidst a dynamic operating landscape as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic. It also signals great confidence from the owner and investment communities in the strength of our luxury brands.”
Hilton currently operates 30 hotels under the company’s group of luxury brands – Waldorf Astoria, Conrad and LXR – in Asia-Pacific, with a further 17 hotels in its development pipeline, due to open over the coming years.
