Hilton Hotels & Resorts

Hospitality multinational Hilton announced last Friday it will be expanding its presence in Greece in the next couple of years with the opening of two new units on Greek islands: They are the Hilton Mykonos Beach Resort & Spa, and the Sound of the Sea Karpathos, Tapestry Collection by Hilton.

Fifteen leading companies operating in Greece will present work opportunities to Greek nationals living in the Netherlands on November 30, as part of the "ReBrain Greece" institutionalized action, the Labor and Social Security Ministry said on Thursday.

The event is scheduled to take place at 10 a.m. at the Hilton hotel in Amsterdam.

Although not yet taking reservations, the plan for the official debut is for before the new year, in December. The reason is the new “Hilton Garden Inn Athens Syggrou Avenue”, the new hotel that will carry the Hilton Garden Inn brand of the Hilton group and will be the first link of this chain in Greece.

The Greek economy will benefit by 1.25 billion euros over a five-year period from the development and operation of the new integrated urban destination at the former Hilton Hotel in Athens, as a result of the €340 million investment by Ionian Hotel Enterprises.

Residents and passers-by on Vassilissis Sofias Avenue in central Athens have been getting a first taste in recent weeks of the new era of the iconic complex that housed the Hilton Hotel for six decades, as the construction of the frame of a new, independent 1,100-square meter building in the area of the swimming pool has been completed and has immediately started turning heads.

The Athens Hilton Hotel's rooftop Galaxy Bar is celebrating Mexico's Cinco de Mayo holiday with a special admission-free party on Friday, May 5, starting at 9 p.m. The music lineup includes a mariachi band and Mexican vocalist Martha Moreleon, followed by DJ who will keep the festive mood going. Guests are invited to wear a costume item to help get the party started.

The investment plan for the Athens Hilton designed by its new owner, Home Holdings, foresees the creation of luxury apartments that will be put up for sale, as well as new commercial spaces to accommodate food and entertainment services, but also retail stores.

Do?an Holding Honorary Chairman Ayd?n Do?an has once again refuted accusations against him regarding the Hilton Hotel in Istanbul.

Do?an?s remarks Oct. 22 came hours after President Recep Tayyip Erdo?an mentioned the businessman in a speech, saying, ?He would have been in high spirits had we given what he wanted about the Hilton.?

The wait is finally over, as the notorious for her tough, ‘no-nonsense’ approach Romanian ‘star’ representative of the IMF, Delia Velculescu has landed in Athens. Her arrival at the Athens Hilton Hotel was indicative of her ‘special’ status, something usually reserved for high profile royals or celebrities.
