Hilton is expanding its presence in Ireland with a range of signings, openings and brand debuts, marking a significant step in its growth and building on its existing portfolio of eight hotels across six brands. The upcoming openings will create more than 150 jobs and will bring the number of team members working at Hilton hotels in Ireland to nearly 1,000.
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. Located 25 minutes from Dublin Airport, the property is well placed for business and leisure demand, further strengthening Hilton’s presence in Greater Dublin.
Richard Mc Dermott, Proprietor of DoubleTree by Hilton Ashbourne, said, “Partnering with Hilton marks an exciting next step for the hotel. Alongside a refreshed guest experience, it will help create employment opportunities and deliver long-term value for the local area. Backed by Hilton’s commercial strength and global loyalty programme, we’re confident the hotel will become a go-to destination for guests visiting Dublin and beyond.”
