Hilton Tallinn in the heart of Estonia’s historic capital is set to become Hilton Worldwide’s first property in the Baltic states.

The luxury hotel is expected to welcome guests in 2016 and will be located a few minutes’ walk from the UNESCO World Heritage Site Tallinn town and major commercial areas of the city.

The announcement comes following the signing of a management agreement by Hilton Worldwide with project owner Fortuna Travel OÜ, part of the Olympic Entertainment Group.

The new build hotel will offer 202 guestrooms and suites, as well as spa with indoor swimming pool and an outdoor sun terrace.

Other facilities include a fitness centre, an all-day dining restaurant, with private dining room, lobby bar, and a business centre.

Patrick Fitzgibbon, senior vice president, development, Europe & Africa, Hilton Worldwide said: “Hilton Tallinn is a high quality project and a superb example of our core Hilton brand expanding in capital cities and popular destinations across the region.”

Hilton Worldwide currently has more than 250 hotels operating in Europe and a further 130 now under development.
