Hilton (NYSE: HLT) announced the signing of DoubleTree by Hilton Derry-Londonderry, marking the brand's debut in Northern Ireland's second biggest city, as part of a franchise agreement with the longstanding owners of the City Hotel.

Located in the centre of one of Ireland's oldest cities, the hotel, which will be managed by Focus Hotels, will offer guests sweeping views of the River Foyle, a historic waterway that has been integral to the region's trade and transport for centuries. The hotel is ideally located for exploring the area's rich heritage, with key landmarks such as the striking Guildhall, Tower Museum, and the 17th-century City Walls - all within a five-minute walk. Adjacent to the hotel is the Quayside Shopping Centre, providing convenient access to shopping and dining options.

For those looking to explore further afield, the hotel is within 5km of the Irish Border, allowing for easy access to County Donegal, part of the world-renowned Wild Atlantic Way.

Set to open in 2025 following an extensive refurbishment, the 158-room hotel will feature a bar and restaurant, ballroom, seven meeting rooms, onsite parking and a wellness club with swimming pool, making it the ideal base for business and leisure travellers.

As part of Focus Hotels' commitment to showcasing the very best that Northern Ireland has to offer, the hotel will provide recommendations to embrace the local culture, such as cycling tours and hiking the Sperrins.
