Hilton Worldwide today announced the signing of DoubleTree Resort by Hilton Fiji - Sonaisali Island. The property will be the first DoubleTree by Hilton branded hotel to open in Fiji.

"We are proud to be flying the DoubleTree by Hilton flag in yet another exciting market - truly exemplifying the strength and momentum of the brand on an international scale," said John Greenleaf, global head, DoubleTree by Hilton. "Guests at the DoubleTree Resort by Hilton Fiji - Sonaisali Island will be welcomed by the familiar warm hospitality and service that is consistent with the more than 400 DoubleTree by Hilton properties currently operating globally."

Located 30 minutes from Nadi International Airport, DoubleTree Resort by Hilton Fiji - Sonaisali Island will open with 123 guest rooms in an expansive oceanfront location overlooking the picturesque South Pacific Ocean. The resort property will also offer a swimming pool, various restaurants and conferencing facilities.

The property, currently operating as Sonaisali Island Resort, is owned by the Vision Group Fiji and will be subject to extensive conversion works. The property closed in November 2014 and scheduled to reopen in early 2015 as DoubleTree Resort by Hilton Fiji - Sonaisali Island.

"Fiji has long been known as one of the Pacific's most idyllic destinations. Its close proximity to Australia and New Zealand, wide range of activities and rich culture and heritage make for a unique leisure holiday," said Ashley Spencer, vice president, operations, Australasia. "With the launch of the DoubleTree by Hilton brand in Fiji, we look forward to providing travellers with an exceptional full-service resort hotel that compliments the country's best tourism assets, particularly those on offer for families."

Dilip Khatri Chairman Vision Group said, "Over a number of years we have developed a successful relationship with Hilton Worldwide as managers of Fiji Beach Resort & Spa, managed by Hilton in Denarau. Due to the success of this property, it made a great deal of sense for Hilton Worldwide to manage our newest acquisition on Sonaisali Island. We are particularly pleased to introduce the first DoubleTree by Hilton property to Fiji which we believe will meet the needs of our customers and continue to provide jobs in the region.

Recognized worldwide for its warm, hospitable service, DoubleTree by Hilton is Hilton Worldwide's fastest growing full service brand, with more than 400 properties in 33 countries and territories. Along with DoubleTree by Hilton's four existing Australasian properties in Cairns, Darwin and Alice Springs, two new DoubleTree by Hilton hotels in Western Australia have been announced in Perth and Fremantle, as well as the DoubleTree by Hilton Melbourne Flinders Street which opened on December 1st 2014.

DoubleTree by Hilton knows that little things mean everything when it comes to a rewarding travel experience, and strives to bring each guest the special comforts and acts of kindness that are unique to the brand - starting with the warm chocolate chip cookie welcome and continuing throughout every guest's hotel stay.

Among the amenities that guests will enjoy are the invigorating array of body care products by London-based Aroma Actives, 24-hour complimentary business and fitness centers, outdoor swimming pools, a range of food and drink offerings to meet every guest's need, complimentary Wifi in public areas, and an industry-recognized service culture which is built around the idea of CARE, or Create A Rewarding Experience for guests, team members and the community.

As participants in the Hilton HHonors guest loyalty program, the property will offer guests the ability to earn and redeem Hilton HHonors points.
