Hilton Worldwide announced the signing of a management agreement with HH Developments to operate a Hilton Garden Inn hotel in Santa Fe – the capital city of the province of Santa Fe, Argentina.

The new-build Hilton Garden Inn Santa Fe, expected to open at the end of 2013, represents the brand’s second development project in Argentina, following the recent announcement of the Hilton Garden Inn Zarate project – a management agreement with the same ownership group.

“We couldn’t be happier to announce this newest project in Argentina and bring another Hilton Garden Inn hotel to our part of the world,” commented Tom Potter, area vice president, operations, South America, Hilton Worldwide. “Hilton Worldwide has a commitment to grow throughout Latin America and introduce new brands to new markets.

Forming part of the award-winning, mid-priced brand that delivers high quality and value, the Hilton Garden Inn Santa Fe will welcome guests to a waterfront location on the Paraná River. The hotel will form part of the new Santa Fe Port redevelopment project offering everything from a yacht club and shopping mall to residences, premium office space and meeting facilities. Santa Fe is served by frequent domestic flights to and from key cities in Argentina, including a one hour flight from Buenos Aires. The city is also a one hour drive from Rosario. Just 20 minutes from the international airport, the Hilton Garden Inn Santa Fe will welcome business and leisure travelers alike.

“We are proud to introduce the Hilton Garden Inn brand in Santa Fe, a business and cultural center surrounded by exciting nature-filled activities,” commented Adrian Kurre, Global Head, Hilton Garden Inn. “This hotel will be a welcome addition to our Hilton Garden Inn portfolio and we look forward to providing travelers with an upscale, yet affordable hotel in this fantastic destination.”
