Hilton Worldwide has signed an agreement with Dubai-based Wasl Hospitality to open two Hilton Garden Inn properties in Dubai. The agreement will see 365 total rooms added to Hilton's Dubai portfolio, divided between two properties which are scheduled to open in early 2015. One of the properties, the Hilton Garden Inn Al Mina, will offer 182 rooms between the Bur Dubai and Jumeirah districts. The Hilton Garden Inn Dubai Al Muraqabat will offer 183 rooms in Deira, Dubai's historic district."This sector of the market will become increasingly important following Dubai's naming as host city for Expo 2020. We anticipate greater demand for four-star accommodation across the city once the countdown to the global exhibition begins and hotels, such as those announced today, will play an increasingly important role in the city's future hospitality infrastructure," says Hesham Al Qassim, CEO of wasl Asset Management Group, the parent company of Wasl Hospitality.
