Hilton (NYSE: HLT) today announced the signing of DoubleTree by Hilton Napier Hotel and Suites, adding to DoubleTree by Hilton's portfolio of 54 properties across Asia Pacific. Auckland-based Sarin Investments will manage the hotel under a franchise agreement with USAR Napier Limited.

Napier is a beautiful coastal city on New Zealand's North Island, which is set amid the renowned wine region of Hawke's Bay and New Zealand's famous art-deco themed city. DoubleTree by Hilton Napier will be located in the central business district - a short walk to Hastings Street pedestrian mall, the waterfront and Napier's famous art-deco attractions.

Construction of DoubleTree by Hilton Napier is underway and is due for completion early 2019. The hotel will have a modern art-deco design theme running throughout and will feature stylish guest rooms, including spacious suites, a restaurant and bar, fully equipped gym, and a boardroom.
