Overview
- Hilton opened two Spark by Hilton hotels in India, one 82-room property in Bengaluru’s Marathahalli technology corridor and one 64-room hotel in Calangute, Goa, marking the brand’s entry into Asia Pacific.
- The openings follow a strategic agreement with Olive Hospitality to develop 150 Spark by Hilton hotels across India under a franchise model.
