A double coup in Europe for the Hilton group. Its top-of-the-range brand DoubleTree by Hilton has just made its debut in Malta, in the seaside resort of Qawra. Overlooking the bay of Saint Paul, with a number of restaurants and several infinity pools, pending a spa and private beach club planned in the coming months, the 485-room establishment is playing the leisure card. But it is also a popular venue for conventions and seminars by the sea.
Formerly known as the Dolmen Hotel Malta - its grounds are home to the Buġibba temple, dating back to the Neolithic period - the establishment, which has just entered the Hilton Group fold, boastsa vast 2,000 m² space for meetings and events. In addition to a ballroom of almost 1,000 m², the hotel also has 16 meeting rooms and an auditorium, all equipped with the latest audiovisual technology, with a capacity of up to 800 people. For travellers, it's just a 35-minute drive from Malta International Airport.
In another announcement from Hilton, the American group will see the European debut of its new premium economy brand Spark. Our first port of call is Romford, not far from London, right next to the town's railway station, which is linked to the centre of the British capital as well as to Stansted and Heathrow airports by the Elizabeth Line.
Spark by Hilton London Romford features bright public spaces where guests can relax and work, 125 functional rooms with work areas, a buffet breakfast and a 24-hour mini-market, all the fundamentals of this new brand focused on design and efficiency. Designed to revolutionise the budget segment, the brand was launched in October 2023 in the United States and already has 30 hotels in operation and over 175 projects in progress. " We are delighted to welcome Spark by Hilton to Europe, marking an important milestone for the brand following its exceptional launch and rapid expansion across the US." said Patrick Fitzgibbon, Hilton's Senior Vice President, EMEA Development.
