Hilton Worldwide has reached an agreement with Nightel Ltd. to bring its mid-market Hampton by Hilton brand to Humberside Airport in the UK. Once open, the newly built hotel will join more than 35 Hilton Worldwide properties at European airport locations, and continues the expansion of the focused service brand, which now boasts more than 1,900 properties worldwide.
Operating under a franchise agreement with experienced regional developer Nightel Ltd, the 103-guestroom Hampton by Hilton Humberside Airport is expected to open in mid-2016. The agreement was recently granted planning permission and is being developed in conjunction with North Lincolnshire Council, which is supporting the £7 million project with a Regional Development Fund grant.
Patrick Fitzgibbon, senior vice president, development, Europe & Africa, Hilton Worldwide said, “Humberside Airport is a vibrant passenger and cargo hub, and home to the second largest heliport in the UK. Hampton by Hilton Humberside Airport will appeal to passengers travelling through the airport, and alleviate the growing need for quality, economy hotel accommodation in the wider Humber region.”
Plans for the new hotel include a restaurant, bar, 24-hour fitness centre and on-site parking for guests. Once open, guests will benefit from complimentary WiFi access and a delicious hot breakfast included in the room rate, a feature of every Hampton by Hilton worldwide.
The hotel will cater to leisure guests, alongside demand from corporate visitors requiring access to the UK’s offshore wind farm industry and oil and gas activities in the North Sea.
The hotel will be developed on land between the existing Nightel Humber Hotel, also developed by Nightel Ltd, and the main A18 road link, providing convenient access to local and national transport networks.
Hampton by Hilton Humberside Airport will be located at Humberside Airport, Grimsby Road, Kirmington, North Lincolnshire, DN39 6YH.
