India,July 2021- Hilton expands its DoubleTree by Hilton portfolio in India with the recent conversion of Hilton Garden Inn Gurgaon Baani Square to DoubleTree by Hilton Gurugram Baani Square. With this addition, there are 9 DoubleTree by Hilton properties in India. Guests will continue to experience exceptional hospitality, now with the DoubleTree signature warm welcome and the brand’s caring service from July 11th, 2021. DoubleTree by Hilton Gurugram Baani Square is owned by Baani Technology Services Pvt. Ltd. and managed by Hilton.
“As we continue to find opportunities to deliver the light and warmth of hospitality in India, we remain committed to bringing the right brands to the right markets at the right time. With its ideal location, popular restaurants and bars and backed by an experienced Hilton team, we are confident this hotel will achieve even greater heights in offering exceptional guest experiences”. Said Navjit Ahluwalia, senior vice president and country head, Hilton India.
Over the past eight years, the hotel has established itself as an ideal destination for business and leisure guests with its central location close to Baani Square's shopping boutiques and restaurants, and steps away from Good Earth City Center. The hotel is 10 minutes away from Gurgaon's central business district, putting Infocity, Unitech Cyber Park, DLF Cyber Hub and other prime corporates within easy reach. Minutes away from National Highway 8, the hotel provides easy access to Udyog Vihar and IMT Manesar and leading medical facilities such as Medanta, Medicity, Artemis and Fortis.
The hotel underwent a series of renovations and upgrades, including a reconfiguration of the lobby to provide more spaciousness and seamless access to the café and all-day dining restaurant Glasshouse, which has been upgraded with new flooring and ambient lighting. Vibe: The Sky bar, known for its iconic panoramic views and fashionable edge, now offers handcrafted cocktails to be enjoyed alongside international bar bites with a local twist, such as Blue Cheese Malai Tikka, Boti Sliders and more.
The 201 guest rooms now feature 55-inch SMART TV and updated contemporary design touches in line with the DoubleTree brand.
Speaking on the hotel’s conversion, Mr. Virendra K Bhatia of Baani Group said, “We are committed to providing outstanding service to our guests and will continue to do so. With the hotel’s prime location, comfortable rooms and amenities, abundance of open-air venues and thoughtfully designed spaces, DoubleTree by Hilton Gurugram Baani Square makes the perfect destination for a leisure holiday, business trip or even a dream wedding. We look forward to welcoming guests here.”
“While we have achieved a great new look, our values and beliefs have not changed. Our commitment to service and a culture of care is what sets DoubleTree by Hilton Gurugram Baani Square apart. Our guests can enjoy a memorable experience with DoubleTree’s celebrated approach to hospitality, starting with the brand’s signature, warm DoubleTree cookie”, said Mr. Jai Chugh, General Manager of DoubleTree by Hilton Gurugram Baani Square. As part of the Hilton’s Travel with Purpose initiative, DoubleTree by Hilton Gurugram Baani Square is committed to reducing its environmental impact through green practices in maintenance, services and products.
