Hilton will bring together two new brands in Turkey.
The company’s Embassy Suites by Hilton and Home2 Suites by Hilton brands, which operate worldwide, will welcome guests in Istanbul. With these new brands, Hilton’s existing and planned hotel count in the country will reach 100.
Hilton announced that it has signed an agreement to introduce two of its market-leading brands to Turkey. Embassy Suites by Hilton will be located in Istanbul’s Mecidiyeköy district, while Home2 Suites by Hilton will be situated in the Istanbul Financial Center. With this agreement, these two brands will operate for the first time in Europe.
Simon Vincent, Hilton’s Executive Vice President and President, Europe, Middle East, and Africa, stated, “Embassy Suites by Hilton and Home2 Suites by Hilton brands will be a significant milestone for Hilton’s presence in Turkey. Today, we are proud to demonstrate our commitment to the Turkish market, where we already have 107 hotels operating or in development under our 10 brands. We foresee tremendous growth opportunities for our brands, especially with the completion of projects like Torun Center and Istanbul Financial Center, which attracted around 45 million visitors in 2022. Hilton has had a longstanding presence in Turkey, and we look forward to further enhancing our portfolio in this important region through collaboration with property owners and investors.”
