DELHI, June 5, 2025 — With the GMR Group-led Delhi International Airport Limited (DIAL), Hilton has inked two hotel projects under its Waldorf Astoria and Hilton resorts and hotels. Hilton’s growth plan in India’s rapidly changing hospitality business has reached a significant turning point with this development.
As part of the deal, the 150-room luxury hotel with trademark restaurants, spa facilities, and the famous Peacock Alley will open in India’s capital, the Waldorf Astoria. Accompanying it is the first Hilton Hotels & Resorts property in New Delhi, the 350-room Hilton New Delhi Aerocity, which will offer business and leisure travelers new, upscale amenities, dining options, and social areas in addition to Hilton’s well-known hospitality.
The deal was seen as “a significant step forward” for Hilton’s South Asia growth trajectory by Chris Nassetta, the company’s president and CEO. “Hispa’s dedication to providing outstanding experiences and influencing the future of the Indian hospitality industry is demonstrated by these iconic properties,” he said.
The partnership helps Hilton achieve its goal of increasing its luxury footprint in India over the course of the following ten years. Aside from the New Delhi Waldorf Astoria, two current Conrad Hotels & Resorts locations in Bengaluru and Pune will soon be joined by LXR Hotels & Resorts and Signia by Hilton.
“Our partnership with Hilton to bring world-class global brands to GMR Aerocity reflects our continued commitment to bring world-class brands to Aerocity, thereby positioning the facility as a force multiplier for Delhi’s tourism and business economy,” stated Kiran Kumar Grandhi, Corporate Chairman of GMR Group. Hilton’s international standards complement our goal of making GMR Aerocity a strategic location that sets new norms for urban and hospitality infrastructure.
