Hilton (NYSE: HLT) predicts 2023 will be its
strongest year of growth in France, with seven planned hotel openings, the
highest single-year increase to its French portfolio. As well as continued
expansion in Paris, Hilton is focusing on major resort destinations and
provincial towns and cities, working with several local owners in France on a
development pipeline that will more than double the hotel group’s presence
nationwide.
"As a key market for Hilton, we’re focusing on developing hotels in
regional French towns and cities, the south coast and continued expansion in
Paris."
Simon Vincent, executive vice president and president, Europe, Middle
East & Africa, Hilton, said, “We’re experiencing record growth in France,
with 2023 set to be a historic high for hotel openings. As a key market for
Hilton, we’re focusing on developing hotels in regional French towns and
cities, the south coast and continued expansion in Paris. We continue to
leverage our award-winning brands to grow market share and capture increased
travel demand, particularly as France gets ready to host major global sporting
events including the Olympic Games, Paralympic Games and Rugby World Cup.”
Hilton’s French Development Plans
In France, Hilton’s development plans will see 24 properties added to
the current trading portfolio of 23 hotels in coming years. Tapestry Collection
by Hilton and Curio Collection by Hilton make up more than a quarter of
upcoming hotels in Europe, ranging from island resorts to unique city hotels
and historic buildings. In France, following recent openings in Hyères and
Paris, Hilton is opening hotels under its collection brands in Bordeaux and Dijon,
bringing Hilton brands to more regional cities across the country.
In addition to collection brand openings, Hilton’s focused service brand
Hampton by Hilton is experiencing strong growth. In both France and wider
Europe, Hampton by Hilton has a higher number of pipeline hotels than any other
Hilton brand, with recent European openings including Hampton by Hilton Tours Centre, Hampton by Hilton Barcelona Fira
Gran Via and Hampton by Hilton Dublin City
Centre.
In recent years, Hilton has also introduced new brands to the French
hotel market, with the openings of Canopy by Hilton Paris Trocadero and Hotel Camille Paris Gare de
Lyon, Tapestry Collection by Hilton in 2021, as well as DoubleTree by Hilton Lyon
Eurexpo last year.
