From Tokyo to Nice: DoubleTree by Hilton Reaches 700th Property and 60th Country and Territory Milestones

DoubleTree by Hilton, a rapidly expanding upscale hotel brand known for its welcoming hospitality, is celebrating two significant achievements: the opening of its 700th hotel and its expansion into 60 countries and territories. In the past year, the brand has added over 40 new properties to its collection, including notable firsts like Hilton’s first presence in Nice, Laos, and the Azores Islands, as well as DoubleTree by Hilton’s debut in Malta. These recent additions have expanded DoubleTree’s global reach to 60 countries and territories, a substantial increase since 2008 when the brand ventured beyond the Americas.

The milestone of reaching 700 properties and entering 60 countries and territories underscores the strength of the DoubleTree by Hilton brand, showcasing its dedication to providing genuine hospitality and being a trusted option for contemporary business and leisure travelers worldwide. The brand’s growth in new and diverse destinations reflects its focus on creating spaces and connections that make travelers feel at home wherever they may be.

DoubleTree by Hilton’s expansion is set to continue with a strong pipeline of more than 240 hotels in development, including nine new debuts in various markets. The brand’s presence in Europe, the Middle East, and Africa is expected to grow with new properties like the DoubleTree by Hilton Mangroovy El Gouna Resort in Egypt and the DoubleTree by Hilton Derry-Londonderry in Northern Ireland. In Asia Pacific, expansion will include new properties in China, such as in Zhengzhou and Yanji.

The brand’s success in converting existing properties into the DoubleTree portfolio has contributed to Hilton’s overall growth, with conversions accounting for about 40% of nearly 200 new openings in the first quarter of 2025. DoubleTree’s appeal as a conversion brand lies in its unique design, global recognition, and adaptability to various market needs, making it an attractive option for hotel owners seeking to enhance their offerings with Hilton’s support.

The past year has seen key openings for DoubleTree by Hilton, including properties like DoubleTree by Hilton Tokyo Ariake in Japan, DoubleTree by Hilton Addis Ababa Airport in Ethiopia, and DoubleTree by Hilton Guang’an in China. These hotels offer guests unique experiences and reflect the brand’s commitment to providing exceptional hospitality across different regions and cultures.

As DoubleTree by Hilton continues to expand globally, it remains dedicated to making travelers feel at home wherever they go, with its signature chocolate chip cookie welcome symbolizing the brand’s warm and thoughtful hospitality.
