Currently under construction in Pelican Bay, St. Kitts will debut a 226-suite Embassy Suites by Hilton hotel in the first quarter of 2017. This announcement was made by Hilton Hotels on Wednesday, May 6, following the signing of a franchise agreement with Caribbean-based developers, Sterling Developments.

โ€œWe welcome Hilton Hotels to the island,โ€ said the Hon. Mr. Lindsay F. P. Grant, Minister of Tourism, International Trade, Industry and Commerce. โ€œTheir upscale Embassy Suites brand will serve as an excellent complement to the diverse mix of our current hotel product and it is well-aligned with the direction of our strategic plan for the continued development of our tourism industry.โ€

The US $90 million development is an approved Citizenship by Investment project. The condo hotel complex will include six towers, 3,847 square feet of meeting space, an infinity pool, a fitness center, spa, and kidsโ€™ club. It will also provide guests the Embassy Suites by Hiltonโ€™s signature spacious suites equipped with a separate living area, private bedroom and wet bar fitted with a microwave, mini-fridge and coffee maker. All rooms will have direct views of the Caribbean.

โ€œWe look forward to introducing the Embassy brand to beautiful St. Kitts & Nevis,โ€ said John Rogers, global head, Embassy Suites Hotels. โ€œThe prime location of this resort, coupled with Embassyโ€™s full service offerings, ample space and guest-desired inclusive amenities will drive this hotelโ€™s leisure travel appeal and strengthen the areaโ€™s accommodation options.โ€
The new hotel will offer the Embassy Suites brand’s signature features, such as an inviting atrium environment, where guests will have access to complimentary cooked-to-order breakfast and Evening Reception with complimentary appetizers and beverage. Restaurant facilities on the resort will include a three-meal restaurant, a specialty restaurant, and a pool and beach bar.

Embassy Suites by Hilton St. Kitts will be located in Pelican Bay, which is an exclusive private cove nestled on seven acres of gently sloping land, cascading down to a private beach on the Caribbean side of the island. Once complete, the hotel will offer easy access to the areaโ€™s main roads and downtown attractions, and is only 10 minutes away from Robert L. Bradshaw International Airport. The Embassy Suites will be Hiltonโ€™s first property in St. Kitts & Nevis. Hilton Worldwide currently has 20 hotels open or in the pipeline throughout the Caribbean.
