Millennium Hotels and Resorts (MHR) has announced a new chapter for Millennium Broadway New York Times Square, which has become an affiliate hotel of the DoubleTree by Hilton brand.

During the affiliate period, the property was renamed Millennium Times Square New York, and will continue to operate under the management of MHR and will gradually introduce Hilton brand standards and operating procedures. Following a renovation period, it will operate as a DoubleTree by Hilton property.

Millennium Hotels and Resorts Chief Commercial Officer Mr Clive Harrington commented, “We are pleased to extend our agreement with Hilton to cover the DoubleTree brand, with one of our flagship New York properties. Hilton offers an impressive distribution system and we are confident that combining the two likeminded brands will lead to increased comfort and convenience for our guests during their stay in New York.”

In June, General Manager and Owner’s Representative Mr Benedict Ng officially announced the affiliation to team members over a short celebratory event held in the employee’s dining facility. Hilton Hotels’ Director of Brand Performance Mr Bill Walp was also in attendance, to share with the team the exciting opportunity to participate in the Hilton Team Member Travel programme.
