Hilton Worldwide has signed a management agreement to open the DoubleTree Resort by Hilton Penang.
Located in the northern beach area of Malaysia’s Penang near the UNESCO World Heritage Site of George Town, DoubleTree Resort by Hilton Penang will add to the existing pipeline of five hotels in Malaysia where Hilton Worldwide now operates six hotels under the Hilton and DoubleTree by Hilton brands.
The existing hotel building will undergo a refurbishment of its public areas, as well as rooms and suites before joining DoubleTree by Hilton’s collection of more than 415 hotels and resorts in gateway cities, metropolitan areas and vacation destinations around the world.
DoubleTree Resort by Hilton Penang will become the brand’s third property in Malaysia when it opens in 2016, joining DoubleTree by Hilton Kuala Lumpur and DoubleTree by Hilton Johor Bahru.
