Miami, Florida (February 11, 2005) - The new Hilton Barbados, Hilton Caribbean’s fifteenth hotel and tenth island location, opens in May 2005. Located on a tropical peninsula surrounded by pristine blue waters, the resort sits on the site of the old Barbados Hilton, just five minutes from Bridgetown and 20 minutes from Grantley Adams International Airport. This five-star, $110-million investment promises to offer the finest combination of accommodation and conference facilities in Barbados.
With its more than 10,000 square feet of meeting space, Hilton Barbados caters to meeting planners and business travelers. Facilities consist of a 4,000-square-foot Hilton Meetings® complex complete with a business center, boardroom with ergonomically designed chairs, three meeting rooms with the ability to split into six breakout rooms, and an exhibition center. The 6,200-square-foot grand ballroom can also accommodate 570 people.
To ensure events proceed smoothly, a specially designated Hilton coordinator oversees all aspects from start to finish. Furthermore, event planners can rely on the Hilton Caribbean Meetings Guarantee, which states that every aspect of the meeting will proceed as contracted or the client does not pay for that portion of the meeting.
The resort boasts 350 oceanview guestrooms, including 77 executive floor rooms and 33 luxury suites. All accommodations have a private balcony, separate shower unit, high-speed Internet access, two-line speakerphone with data port, cable TV, and all the requirements to make for a productive stay. Wireless Internet access is also available in all public areas. Guests staying on the executive floor enjoy exclusive check in and check out, and access to the executive lounge, which overlooks Carlisle Bay and offers complimentary breakfast, refreshments, and hors d’oeuvres throughout the day.
Guests can choose from three dining options, including the hotel’s gourmet restaurant Careenage Bar and Grille, the casual Lighthouse Terrace, or the Water’s Edge beach bar. For a moment’s relaxation, a sprawling pool complex, fitness center, three tennis courts, treatment rooms, and secluded beach are also among the amenities.
“No other property on the island can match the Hilton Barbados with its combination of superb state-of-the-art conference and meeting facilities and luxury accommodation. There is simply no other hotel offering both these essential elements. I am convinced the property will very quickly become one of the foremost resorts for meetings, conferences, special events and business travelers worldwide,” says Marilyn Soper, general manager of the Hilton Barbados.
