Hilton and NILE Hospitality have signed an agreement for five Hampton by Hilton hotels across India. This partnership aims to expand Hampton by Hilton’s footprint in India, catering to the country’s growing mid-market hotel segment. These hotels will join over 3,000 Hampton by Hilton properties worldwide.
The five hotels will be located in Amritsar (two locations), Vrindavan, Raipur, and Lonavala. Together, they will feature more than 350 rooms and are expected to open within the next two years. These hotels will offer the Hampton by Hilton global experience, while incorporating services and amenities tailored to Indian travelers.
Tailored Design and Amenities for Indian Travelers
Hampton by Hilton has been the #1 lodging franchise for 16 consecutive years, according to Entrepreneur®. The brand is known for pioneering the upper midscale hotel category, and now it is customizing its offerings for India. After extensive research, Hilton identified key features that would appeal to Indian guests.
The hotel rooms will feature optimized layouts, and each hotel will include a fitness center. Guests will also enjoy high-quality bedding, ensuring a restful experience. Additionally, food and beverage offerings will include a regionally inspired breakfast, a 24/7 coffee station, and a new “Sunny Sides” restaurant. This restaurant will serve complimentary breakfast, designed specifically for Hampton’s India expansion.
