Hilton looking to Central America for expansion
Hilton Hotels Corporation opened its first property in Costa Rica — the 202-room, Hilton Papagayo Resort Costa Rica, which is also the company’s third service hotel in that country.
“Formerly the Premier Fiesta Resort & Spa, the 202-room all-inclusive resort has undergone a multi-million dollar renovation, covering almost every aspect of the property,” said Hilton in a news release.
To mark the occasion, the resort offers guests an introductory rate of $499 per night all-inclusive based on double occupancy. Hilton says the new hotel reinforces its commitment to grow its family of brands throughout Central America.
“The opening of this third full-service hotel is an important stepping stone in our expansion efforts throughout Central America,” said Danny Hughes, area vice president, Caribbean and Central America, for Hilton Hotels Corporation. He added:
“Now, we can offer both business and leisure guests an array of full-service hotel options across the country, in San Jose with the Doubletree Cariari by Hilton, in the central region with the all-inclusive Doubletree Resort by Hilton Puntarenas, and in the gulf of Papagayo with the luxurious Hilton Papagayo Resort.”
Located 20 minutes from Liberia International Airport, the Hilton Papagayo Resort is nestled between the mountains on a secluded and government protected natural volcanic sand beach on the Bay of Papagayo in Guanacaste.
All guest rooms have been completely remodeled and outfitted with the new Hilton Serenity Collection mattress and linens. Four brand new junior suites have been added to the resort, each with its own private plunge pool and ocean views.
The pinnacle of the resort’s relaxation options is a brand new world-class spa with 13 treatment rooms featuring garden and ocean views, separate swimming pool, a fitness center with Precor® equipment, and an array of treatments including everything from volcanic stones to local fruits.
For the business-minded, Hilton Papagayo Resort has over 1,300 sq. ft. of meetings space, including three new meeting rooms and an auditorium for up to 300 people.
