Hilton has opened the 1,000th hotel under its select service Hilton Garden Inn brand.
The milestone property is the Hilton Garden Inn San Jose Airport City Mall in Costa Rica, located a three-minute drive from Juan Santamaría International airport.
Features include a heated outdoor pool, The Garden Grille and Bar, fitness and business centres, and a complimentary airport shuttle service.
The Hilton Garden Inn brand was launched in the 1990s, and the first UK property opened near Luton airport in 2008.
It is the group’s second largest brand behind Hampton by Hilton (which has around 2,500 properties), and has a presence in around 60 countries and territories, although the majority of Garden Inn hotels are located in the US.
