DLF –Hilton’ Indian Hotel Plan Emerges

Hilton's relationship with The Oberoi group may have ended but that has not soured Hilton's enthusiasm for India. Mayhap, having learnt from the experience the company will now work with a number of partners instead of a single exclusive relationship.

Hilton has a joint venture with Delhi based developer to institute hotels in the country called DLF-Hilton hotels. The alliance between Oberoi and Hilton came to an end on April 1, 2008. More brands will be there in india.

DLF Hilton will be launching the luxury Hilton brand, the business hotel brand Garden Inn as well as extended stay brand Homewood. Other brands of Hilton not mentioned in the DLF deal include Doubletree, Embassy Suites Hotels, Hampton Inn & Suites, Hilton Grand Vacations, The Waldorf-Astoria Collection, and Hilton Honors. The first DLF-Hilton hotel is expected to be ready at Saket in New Delhi.

These projects are in various stages of development and construction, and will come up in cities like New Delhi, Kolkata, Chennai, Trivandrum, and Chandigarh. DLF will build the hotels and will be managed by an affiliate of Hilton Hotels Corporation in India.
