Olbia, Sardinia, Italy—Hilton Worldwide has announced the arrival of its first hotel in Sardinia—the Doubletree by Hilton, Olbia-Sardinia. The opening marks the company’s debut on the popular Italian island and is a reflection of the continued growth of the Hilton Worldwide portfolio of brands across Italy. Situated on Sardinia’s northern coast in the Gallura region, the Doubletree by Hilton Olbia-Sardinia is set in a prime location just a few hundred metres from Olbia city centre, close to the city’s historic port and only five kilometres from the Olbia-Costa Smeralda airport with direct airline connections to several major European cities.

The new-build hotel is operated by PROMA srl, under a franchise agreement with a subsidiary of Hilton Worldwide. The Doubletree by Hilton, Olbia-Sardinia also represents the third Doubletree by Hilton to open in Italy, after a centre city hotel in Milan and a coastal golf resort in Acaya-Lecce.
