Hilton has signed its first hotel in Bangladesh. Scheduled to open in 2015, the 250-room Hilton Dhaka will be located on Gulshan Avenue in the centre of the Bangladeshi capital.
“We have been expanding aggressively across Asia Pacific with a wide range of award-winning brands, and this is a significant milestone for us as it marks both Hilton Worldwide’s and the Hilton brand’s entry into Dhaka, a key financial hub and one of the fastest growing cities in the world,” said Andrew Clough, Hilton’s Senior Vice President of Development for the Middle East & Asia Pacific. “We are confident that Hilton Dhaka… will compete well with the existing international and local hotel supply.”
The new hotel will offer three restaurants, a deli, lobby lounge and a bar, as well as a spa and fitness centre, rooftop pool, ballroom and meeting floor.
