New Hotels to open in Moscow, Kazan and Yaroslavl

Hilton Worldwide is to open three new hotels at strategic regional locations in Russia. 

The new properties will open in Yaroslavl and Kazan, as well as Hilton Worldwide's second hotel in Moscow.  These new signings will significantly expand the group's presence in Russia, with 11 hotels now open or under development.

The Doubletree by Hilton, Moscow Leningradsky-Riverside – will offer 270 rooms.  The hotel is expected to open in the beginning of 2012.  A yacht club and marina is located next to the hotel site.

At Yaroslavl, a UNESCO world heritage site, the Hilton Garden Inn is planned with 179 guestrooms close by the Moscovsky railway station and the main city highway, which connects Yaroslavl to Moscow (250 km).  It is expected to open in spring 2012.

The new build Hilton Garden Inn Kazan is not expected to be ready until 2014 and will have 171 guestrooms.  The property will be located in the downtown area of the city, close to the airport and Volga river port.  Historic Kazan is the capital of Tatarstan, recognised as a sovereign state by the Russian Federation, with a population of more than one million inhabitants. www.hilton.com
