US: Hilton says its All Suites enjoyed a 2018 marked by growth domestically and abroad.
The company says its three extended stay brands – Embassy Suites, Home2 Suites and Homewood Suites – achieved major milestones, including the opening of the category’s 30th Canadian property and 1,000th property overall.
The All Suites brands will continue their international expansion throughout 2019, with more than 25 properties in the pipeline throughout the Americas and Asia, and more than 580 properties in the pipeline in total. All three brands are focused on growing their presence in Canada, with Homewood Suites continuing its effort in Latin America and Embassy Suites making forays in the Middle East.
Last year, the All Suites brands made significant headway in Canada, tapping into the country’s record-setting tourism boom. In addition to reaching 30 opened All Suites hotels, the stage has already been set for future growth as more than 20 per cent of all Hilton properties in the Canadian pipeline are in the All Suites category.
“The All Suites brands by Hilton had a banner year in 2018 thanks to the incredible support we received from both team members and owners,” said Dianna Vaughan, global head and senior vice president, All Suites brands by Hilton. “From the opening of the category’s 1,000th property and international expansion, to taking part in unique projects like Hilton’s first tri-branded property and Home2 Suites by Hilton’s first modular build hotel, collaboration with our owners and teams was and will continue to be the secret to our success as we capitalise on opportunities this year.”
The All Suites pipeline grew in 2018 with 187 new signed deals across the globe, bringing the total combined pipeline to more than 580 pending hotels. Notable signed deals include Embassy by Hilton Makkah KAAR in Saudi Arabia, Homewood Suites by Hilton Austin Central I-35 and Home2 Suites by Hilton Thunder Bay in Ontario, Canada.
