Hilton Worldwide has announced the opening of Hilton Frankfurt Airport and Hilton Garden Inn Frankfurt Airport, part of the renowned, futuristic THE SQUAIRE complex. The project is a first for Hilton Worldwide in Europe with two individually branded hotels operating beside each other under the same roof. Simon Vincent, area president, Europe, Hilton Worldwide, said: “THE SQUAIRE is one of the most architecturally impressive buildings in Europe and we are delighted to welcome these two spectacular properties to our portfolio in this iconic, design-led development. “With more than 220 hotels now in Europe and more than 110 hotels in our development pipeline, Hilton Worldwide is experiencing phenomenal growth across the continent and this opening marks an exciting milestone for us with two hotels operating alongside each other – a first for our company in Europe.” Approximately 14 kilometres from the city centre, business and leisure guests have a prime vantage point to the financial capital of Germany and the numerous cultural delights of the city such as the Alte Oper concert hall, the historic city hall Römer and the Goethehaus - birthplace of the famous German writer, Goethe. The two hotels are located directly above the ICE Railway Station with trains direct to downtown Frankfurt in approximately 15 minutes and across the continent to a variety of exciting locations. Guests are connected to Frankfurt Airport, the second largest airport on the European continent, via a pedestrian skywalk and the A3, A5 and Frankfurter Kreuz motorway interchanges also have direct access to the airport with an adjacent junction interchange. In 2011 Hilton Worldwide has opened more than 20 hotels across Europe with the most recent openings including Hilton Garden Inn Mardin, Turkey and Hilton Baku, the first Hilton Worldwide property in Azerbaijan. In 2012 Hilton Worldwide looks forward to welcoming, amongst many others, Waldorf Astoria Berlin, Germany; and Hilton and Hampton by Hilton Bursa, Turkey, which will open as the second dual-branded hotel from the Hilton Worldwide portfolio in Europe.
