Hilton, ParisAs promised in 2006, Hilton Hotels has begun many of their renovations around the world. This year, alone the Hilton chain will expend nearly $50 million of the $1 billion total they plan on using in their refurbishment project. Some renovations include the Hilton Paris Hotel which is closed until March 2008, the Hilton Waikiki Prince Kuhio and the Millennium Seoul Hilton.

As senior VP of brand management, Jeff Diskin claims that “we’re big believes that change is good and we want each guest to have a consistently great experience at any Hilton Hotel around the globe. That’s why over the past year and a half we’ve been making big changes at… more than 500 Hilton Hotels.” They also plan on building 18 brand new properties and eight new conversions as well.

To ensure that guests get what they want, Hilton has incorporated a Guest Experience improvement collaboration with Bevis Design Associates (BDA). By using guest feedback Hilton and BDA have already designed four innovate and thoroughly modern guest rooms that include just what visitors asked for including sustainable materials, more natural light in rooms and better online pricing options.

Paul Bevis, owner of BDA, is over the moon about the hotel and expects travelers to feel the same. “I’m thrilled to be working with the Hilton brand… to create designs that reflect the brand’s new, exciting direction. Hilton’s redesigned guest rooms are sure to become a favorite among business and leisure travelers alike.”
