Hilton Eyes Myanmar Expansion
Hilton Worldwide has signed management agreements with Eden Group Company Limited for five Hilton Hotels & Resorts properties in Myanmar.
The partnership with Eden Group represents another significant milestone for Hilton Worldwide’s expansion in Myanmar, following the company’s earlier announcement in 2013 as the first western hotel group to have signed an agreement to operate a hotel in the country.
Under the agreement with Eden Group, two of the Group’s recently opened properties in the capital, Nay Pyi Taw, and on Ngapali beach in Rakhine State will be rebranded as Hilton Nay Pyi Taw and Hilton Ngapali Beach Resort, respectively, and are scheduled to welcome their first guests as Hiltons in October. Three other hotels will open in the next three years, namely: Hilton Bagan and Hilton Inle Lake in 2016 and then the Hilton Mandalay in 2017.
