Hilton Worldwide has made its Myanmar debut with the opening of Hilton Nay Pyi Taw, in the country’s capital city of Naypyidaw. The 202-key hotel spans more than 100 acres of land and is set within the developing Dekhina Thiri Township.
“The opening of Hilton Nay Pyi Taw is a very significant milestone for Hilton Worldwide; it marks the entry of the company into the dynamic and emerging market of Myanmar,” says Martin Rinck, president for Asia Pacific under Hilton Worldwide. “Being one of the first international hospitality companies to enter many different countries in Asia Pacific—including Japan 51 years ago, China 26 years ago and Myanmar today—we continue to explore new frontiers, being where the world’s business and leisure travelers want to be.”
Hilton Nay Pyi Taw offers five function spaces including a standing reception area in the ballroom that can accommodate up to 410 people. The Elements, an all-day dining restaurant, offers a blend of flavors and cultures featuring local, Asian, and international fare. The Axis lounge and Boardwalk lounges are additional amenities.
The hotel has also adopted LightStay, the company’s global environmental management system, to calculate and analyze its sustainability performance. Hilton recently became the first global hospitality company to implement the ISO 50001 energy management system globally, following a comprehensive upgrade to its LightStay system. The new hotel will also use energy-efficient light bulbs throughout the property and will recycle wastewater and materials.
