230-Room Hilton Lima Miraflores Scheduled to Open in 2012
Hilton Worldwide has entered into a Franchise Agreement with J.G.J. Proyectistas S.A.C., a Real Estate Developer based in Lima, Peru, to introduce the Hilton Hotels & Resorts brand to the Peruvian market with the 230-room new build Hilton Lima Miraflores. The hotel is scheduled to open in Q1 2012.
“Now is a period of tremendous global growth for the Hilton brand and this partnership will create an exceptional property in Peru’s capital city,” said Dave Horton, global head, Hilton Hotels & Resorts brand. “With a population exceeding nine million people, Lima is a major market for international travel and key to our strong presence in South America.”
Already under construction, Hilton Lima Miraflores is located in Miraflores, an upscale area of Lima known for its shopping areas, gardens, flower-filled parks, beaches and fine dining. The hotel’s close proximity to the MiraCorp Business Corporate Center and a thriving culinary scene makes it ideal for business and leisure travelers. As both the capital and largest city in Peru, rich in history and culture, Lima is an attractive destination.
“We are delighted to work in partnership with Hilton Worldwide to bring the first Hilton hotel to Peru. With the city of Lima’s ever-increasing demand for upscale accommodations, we are positioned to be the number-one choice for travelers,” said Ursula Vargas, commercial chief, J.G.J. Proyectistas S.A.C.
The hotel will reflect a sophisticated, modern Peruvian esthetic. Guests will have a choice of accommodations with 173 king or double queen rooms, 39 executive rooms, 17 suites, one Presidential suite, and executive floors with concierge service. The hotel will provide a great base for events and business travelers, with ten meeting rooms, a business center and a grand ballroom that accommodates 450 people. On premises there will also be a restaurant, lobby bar and Pisco bar, as well as a sky terrace with a pool, spa and fitness center.
