Zubin Saxena, Senior Vice President and Regional Head, South Asia, Hilton, commented on the development, stating, “Hilton Garden Inn Surat City Centre exemplifies our commitment to driving growth in India’s high-potential cities. Surat’s rapid transformation, driven by key infrastructure advancements, demands high-quality, value-driven accommodations. Our focused service brands cater to these dynamic needs of business and leisure travelers.”
The hotel features 104 guest rooms, a restaurant, and a 24/7 convenience store offering grab-and-go food options. The property also offers over 2,900 square feet of versatile meeting space catering to business travelers and meeting space needs. Recreational amenities include a fitness center and an outdoor swimming pool.
Bharatbhai Gajera, Managing Director, Unity Holidays LLP, expressed his enthusiasm about the partnership, stating, “Partnering with Hilton to introduce the Hilton Garden Inn brand to Surat is a strategic move that aligns with the city’s bold economic trajectory. This property is not just a hospitality asset for us; it is a hospitality solution designed to meet the growing demands of travelers in Surat.”
