Hilton Garden Inn brand to enter Jubail in 2016

Hilton Worldwide has announced the signing of a management agreement with prominent local investor Faisal Al-Ansari Contracting to introduce a Hilton Garden Inn hotel to Jubail, the largest industrial city in the Middle East. The hotel is expected to open in 2016.
Located in the industrial heartland of the Kingdom’s Eastern Province, the new-build 125-room Hilton Garden Inn Al Jubail will enjoy a prime site on the developing Jubail Corniche. With excellent accessibility to the city’s commercial business district and industrial zones, the hotel is also easily accessible from the nearest major international airport, King Fahd International Airport.
Adrian Kurre, global head, Hilton Garden Inn, said: “The highly acclaimed Hilton Garden Inn hotel brand prides itself on providing the growing value-conscious traveler market with a range of superior amenities at an affordable price. With an increasing number of new Hilton Garden Inn hotels planned in key cities across the Kingdom, the brand is gathering valuable momentum as Saudi Arabia proves particularly responsive to our dedicated quality service as well as our Hilton Garden Inn Promise of providing an excellent hotel experience for every guest, every time.”
Rudi Jagersbacher, president, Hilton Worldwide MEA, said: “Today’s announcement is particularly timely with all economic indicators suggesting Jubail is enjoying an exciting phase of growth. This expansion provides the perfect foundation for the hospitality sector to prosper. Affordable hotels, such as Hilton Garden Inn, will help strengthen the city’s reputation as a progressive and dynamic destination.”
Faisal Al-Ansari, owner of Faisal Al-Ansari Contracting, said: “As Jubail continues to attract international investment and visitors, Hilton Worldwide was the natural choice of partner to bring the quality experience and first class hospitality standards guests expect of a growing business hub.”
