Hilton’s Home2 Suites extended-stay brand has made its European debut with the opening of an aparthotel in Dublin.
Home2 Suites by Hilton Dublin City Centre offers 290 studios and one-bedroom suites which feature separate work zones, living areas and kitchens.
The “upper midscale” property also includes a breakfast lounge, integrated laundry and fitness centre for guests, and a self-service area offering snacks and drinks. It also allows guests to bring pets with them.
Home2 Suites by Hilton, which launched in 2009, currently has 800 hotels in operation with another 750 in its development pipeline. The vast majority of existing hotels are located in North America and China.
Stephen Cassidy, senior vice president, UK & Ireland, at Hilton, said: “The opening of Home2 Suites by Hilton Dublin City Centre is a major milestone for Hilton, bringing the brand to Europe, the Middle East and Africa (EMEA) for the first time.
“This opening reflects the growing demand we’re seeing from both business and leisure travellers for flexible, apartment-style accommodation with the comfort and quality you’d expect from Hilton.”
