Hilton Garden Inn Expands Global Reach in 2019

Hilton Garden Inn experienced a stellar year in 2019. Not only did the upscale hotel brand introduce 48 new properties, but it also debuted in nine new countries.

Of these nine new locations, Hilton Garden Inn was the first of any Hilton brand to open in Botswana, Latvia, Lithuania, Eswatini and Uganda. Some of these new lodgings include:

Hilton Garden Inn Kampala Kira Road, the Hilton’s first hotel in Uganda. Guests can travel off the premises to explore the Uganda Museum, the Acacia Shopping Mall, Uganda Golf Club and Independence Park.

Hilton Garden Inn also saw steady expansion in the U.S., as more than half of the brand’s new 2019 properties opened in the states.

The brand also expanded its on-property Garden Grille & Bar concept, in which a full-service restaurant and bar serve cooked-to-order dishes, sharable small plates, handcrafted cocktails and craft beers. There are now almost 600 Garden Grille & Bar locations across the country. The brand has also partnered with actress Judy Greer to create a new specialty cocktail, Judy’s Garden Gin, which can be found on all Garden Grille & Bar menus.
