Additionally, Hilton Worldwide has announced the signing of a franchise license agreement with Akti Helona to operate a Doubletree by Hilton Resort on the island of Kos, Greece. Scheduled to open in May 2010, the Doubletree by Hilton Resort, Kos - Helona will be Hilton Worldwide's second property in Greece following the opening of Hilton Athens in the capital's city centre.
'With the hotel market in Greece dominated by independently run hotels and domestic chains, we believe there are wonderful growth opportunities for all our brands throughout the country,' said Patrick Fitzgibbon, Hilton Worldwide's senior vice president, development - Europe & Africa.
The new hotel, which originally opened as an independent hotel in June 2009, will offer 238 rooms including 15 suites and three villas, two restaurants and bars, a spa and fitness area, a private beach as well as 800 m2 of meeting space, including a room able to accommodate up to 700 people.
Doubletree by Hilton was introduced in Europe in spring 2008 and currently has 10 properties open across Europe in the UK, Italy and Slovakia, with development projects confirmed in Russia and Romania.
