Hilton has unveiled plans to expand its presence in Asia Pacific with the signing of two new Hilton Garden Inn hotels in Busan, South Korea, and Hyderabad, India. Both properties are slated to open in 2028, marking significant milestones for the hospitality giant in these burgeoning markets.
In South Korea, Hilton has partnered with MS&C Co., Ltd. to introduce the Hilton Garden Inn Busan Gijang. This 111-room hotel will be part of a mixed-use development, catering to the region’s growing reputation as a hub for leisure, wellness, and medical tourism. The city of Busan aims to attract 100,000 foreign medical visitors by 2030. The hotel will offer a range of amenities, including an all-day dining restaurant, a fitness centre, and spa facilities, and will be conveniently located near popular attractions such as Haedong Yonggungsa Temple and Lotte World Adventure Busan.
Meanwhile, in India, the Hilton Garden Inn Hyderabad Kompally will be Hilton’s first of its kind in the city and its third hotel in Hyderabad. Developed by Fairmount and Friends LLP, the 96-room hotel will feature extensive meeting and event space, alongside dining facilities. The location within a mixed-use development offers connectivity to key business districts, aligning with Hyderabad’s status as a leading business and IT hub.
Clarence Tan, Hilton’s senior vice president for Development in Asia Pacific, highlighted the strategic importance of these developments, stating, “This signing reflects our focus on building a balanced portfolio across key gateway and emerging business destinations in the market.”
These expansions underscore Hilton’s commitment to growing its footprint in Asia Pacific, with plans to increase its number of trading hotels in India from 40 to over 400 in the coming years.
