UK's first dual Hilton to set up in Staffordshire
Two Hilton hotels are to be constructed at St Georges Park in Burton-on-Trent. The development will include a Hilton Hotels and Resorts hotel and a Hampton by Hilton in the same building.
St Georges Park, the Football Association's new 330-acre National Football Centre, is currently under construction.
The Hilton Resorts hotel will include 142 bedrooms, conference and banqueting space, two restaurants and a bar lounge. An exhibition of memorabilia from the world of football is also planned for the centre of the premises.
St. George’s Hampton by Hilton site will comprise 86 bedrooms, and will share the facilities of the Hilton hotel.
Both hotels are due to open in the Summer of 2012.
Paul Brown, president, global brands and commercial services of Hilton Worldwide, said: "We are delighted to be introducing our first dual-brand development in the UK, marking a major milestone in establishing our portfolio of brands in what is a key market, while at the same time further enhancing our close association with sports.”
