Hilton (NYSE: HLT) today announced the opening of Hilton Garden Inn Surat City Centre, marking the debut of its globally recognised focused service brand, Hilton Garden Inn, in Gujarat. This launch further strengthens Hilton’s presence in the state, a vital economic corridor where the company currently operates DoubleTree by Hilton Ahmedabad and Hampton by Hilton Vadodara-Alkapuri. Developed in partnership with Unity Holidays LLP, Hilton Garden Inn Surat City Centre adds to Hilton’s diverse portfolio in Gujarat, spanning both full and focused service brands. This expansion aligns with the needs of a broad customer base and taps into India’s expanding middle class market in key gateway cities.
Zubin Saxena, senior vice president and regional head, South Asia, Hilton said, “Hilton Garden Inn Surat City Centre exemplifies our commitment to driving growth in India’s high-potential cities. Surat’s rapid transformation, driven by key infrastructure advancements, demands high-quality, value-driven accommodations. Our focused service brands cater to these dynamic needs of business and leisure travellers.”
Surat, India's eighth-largest city, is a global powerhouse for textiles and diamond polishing. Located just two hours from Mumbai, the city is experiencing rapid economic transformation, driven by the new Surat Diamond Bourse and an upcoming international airport. Hilton Garden Inn Surat City Centre, located just 500 meters from Surat Railway Station in the business district, is well-positioned to meet the rising demand for high-quality yet affordable accommodation.
Jenny Milos, vice president, Brand Management, Suites & Focused Service, Asia Pacific, Hilton, added, "As one of the fastest growing Hilton brands in the region, Hilton Garden Inn is a popular choice amongst travelers looking to maximise the value of their travels. Besides its strategic location and accessibility, Hilton Garden Inn Surat City Centre will offer upscale and affordable accommodations, modern amenities and thoughtful, heartfelt service, providing the design, quality and comfort that today’s travellers seek."
The hotel features 104 well-appointed guest rooms, complemented by a restaurant, and a 24/7 convenience store that offers grab-and-go food options. Catering to business travellers and meeting space needs, the property will offer over 2,900 square feet of versatile meeting space. Guests also have access to a range of recreational amenities, including a fitness centre and an outdoor swimming pool. The new hotel joins existing Hilton Garden Inn hotels in Bengaluru, Pune, Lucknow, New Delhi and Trivandrum.
Bharatbhai Gajera, managing director, Unity Holidays LLP, said, "Partnering with Hilton to introduce the Hilton Garden Inn brand to Surat is a strategic move that aligns with the city's bold economic trajectory. This property isn't just a hospitality asset for us. It is a hospitality solution designed to meet the growing demands of travelers in Surat.”
Hilton's portfolio of trading and pipeline hotels in South Asia now stands at 64, reflecting the company's robust growth trajectory in the region. Hilton Garden Inn Surat City Centre is part of Hilton Honors, the award-winning guest-loyalty programme for Hilton’s world-class brands.
