Hilton back into Cairns
DoubleTree by Hilton brand strengthens presence in Australian market with the signing of the DoubleTree by Hilton Cairns
Hilton Worldwide has announced the signing of the 237 room DoubleTree by Hilton Cairns. Located at 121 The Esplanade, DoubleTree by Hilton Cairns will enjoy a prime waterfront location. Formerly the Holiday Inn Cairns, the property will join Hilton Worldwide’s Australasian portfolio of 21 hotels in the fourth quarter of 2014.
“DoubleTree by Hilton continues to be one of the fastest growing full service hotel brands in the world, and we are thrilled to continue this growth in a market as important as Australia,” said John Greenleaf, global head, DoubleTree by Hilton. “We look forward to welcoming guests at the DoubleTree by Hilton Cairns with the DoubleTree hospitality and service culture which begins with the warm chocolate chip cookie presented to every guest at check-in.”
After such a successful launch of our three DoubleTree by Hilton properties in the Northern Territory in 2013, we are extremely pleased to be further expanding DoubleTree by Hilton in the Australian market,” said Ashley Spencer, vice president, operations, Australasia. “Cairns is the gateway to some of Australia’s most revered tourism experiences including the Great Barrier Reef and the Daintree Rainforest. It’s the popularity of experiences like these that has provided us with the opportunity to widen DoubleTree by Hilton’s presence to such a desirable leisure destination.”
