The growth is boosted by an agreement to bring DoubleTree by Hilton to Ireland with the conversion of a 156-room hotel in Ashbourne, near Dublin. Expected to open as DoubleTree by Hilton Ashbourne in early 2027, the hotel will undergo a comprehensive refurbishment, including upgrades to guest rooms, public spaces, restaurants and bars. ADVERTISEMENTThe signing follows the opening of Home2 Suites by Hilton Dublin City Centre, marking the brand’s European debut. It also expanded its DoubleTree portfolio through the signings of DoubleTree by Hilton Belfast City Ten Square and DoubleTree by Hilton Derry‑Londonderry. Looking ahead, Hilton is set to debut another brand in Northern Ireland – Tempo by Hilton Belfast City Centre.
