(ANSAmed) - ATHENS, FEBRUARY 24 - After Athens and Kos, a
third Hilton hotel is about to open in Greece, this time in
Crete, by Dolphin Capital Investors (DCI) as the group appears
poised to kick off a series of multifaceted investments worth a
total of more than 1 billion euros in five destinations across
the country between 2014 and 2016. The DCI company, as daily
Kathimerini reports quoting sources close to the matter, has
already reached an agreement for the construction at Sitia,
eastern Crete, of a Waldorf Astoria hotel, which constitutes the
highest quality hotel chain of the group of Hilton Hotels and
Resorts. DCI will undertake the hotel's operation of the hotel,
while construction is expected to begin next year. DCI is also
close to sealing another deal in the coming months by acquiring
a stake in Asian chain Aman Resorts, which controls 25 hotels
around the world including one operated by DCI at Kranidi, in
the eastern Peloponnese. The next Aman Resorts hotel is planned
for Kea in the Cyclades. (ANSAmed).
