- “Hilton Worldwide is one of the fastest-growing
hotel companies in terms of deals signed globally. For 2010, we
achieved a
global pipeline that included 868 hotels and more than 138,000 rooms
worldwide,
making this one of the largest pipelines in our history and in the
industry,”
said Christopher J. Nassetta, President and CEO, Hilton Worldwide.
He added, “We are focusing a significant amount
of our development efforts in the Asia Pacific region – with 112 hotels
and
32,916 rooms in the pipeline. We foresee phenomenal opportunities in
India. We
are expanding rapidly and will more than triple our presence in the
country in
the next two years – from four trading hotels to a total of 14,
including these
two properties signed with Eros Resorts & Hotels.”
Satish Sood, Managing Director of Eros Resorts

Worldwide will add depth and breadth to our hospitality portfolio. We
will be
able to bring world-class hotel facilities and services, and the
traditional
reputation of Indian hospitality to business and leisure travellers in
New
Delhi.”
“We are pleased to introduce an outstanding
Hilton Hotels & Resorts hotel product, as well as the first
DoubleTree by
