The upcoming property, scheduled to open in 2029, marks the first property of brand in Thessaloniki.
Hilton announced the signing of a new Hilton Hotels & Resorts property in Thessaloniki. The hotel, which is set to open in 2029, will be managed by Hilton following an agreement with DIMAND, real estate development companies. The signing further strengthens Hilton’s presence in the country, where it now has a portfolio of more than 70 trading and pipeline hotels, and marks an important milestone in the ongoing regeneration of Thessaloniki’s historic FIX district.
The hotel will feature 184 guest rooms across two buildings, including a newly built main hotel with 154 rooms and a carefully restored heritage building with 30 rooms, celebrating the legacy of the former FIX brewery.
Alan Mantin, vice president, development, Southern Europe, Hilton, said, “This signing reflects our continued progress and confidence in Greece, a key strategic market for Hilton, and our commitment to growing our portfolio in key destinations to serve a wider range of traveller needs.”
The property will feature a vibrant communal area, two restaurants, two bars, modern fitness facilities, and conference and event space. A rooftop terrace with a swimming pool will offer sweeping urban and sea views. Adjacent to the hotel, a neighbouring building will host the Philharmonic Orchestra and art exhibitions, further anchoring the district as a new cultural hub.
Andreas Koukas, senior director, development, Greece & Cyprus, Hilton, said, “Thessaloniki is a city with a rich cultural identity, a growing business community and an increasingly compelling proposition for international travellers. Against this backdrop of growing travel demand, we’re excited to announce our first project here and look forward to seeing this property brought to life.”
Dimitris Andriopoulos, chief executive officer, DIMAND, said, “The arrival of an international hospitality brand such as Hilton is a strong indication of the growing maturity of Thessaloniki's market and of the city's increasing appeal as both an investment and tourism destination. The choice of the city's western gateway is no coincidence. It reflects the transformation of an area attracting ever-increasing investment interest and reinforces the strategy we have pursued from the very beginning: to invest not in individual assets, but in the regeneration of entire districts, creating long-term value for our shareholders, the local economy and the cities in which we operate. FIX marks another important step in that direction and, together with the other investments underway at the western gateway to Thessaloniki, will contribute to the creation of a vibrant new neighborhood that will significantly enhance the city's role and identity."
Nikos Trikourakis, head of hospitality, DIMAND, said, “Today marks a defining moment for Thessaloniki and Greek tourism. With Hilton Thessaloniki, we are bringing a new hospitality landmark to the city's western gateway, one that combines international standards and global brand recognition with architectural excellence and a meaningful contribution to the city's long-term development. Our partnership with Hilton is a strong vote of confidence in Thessaloniki's potential and reinforces our commitment to playing an active role in shaping the city's next chapter."
Hilton Thessaloniki will join the company’s growing Greek portfolio, which currently has more than 50 trading hotels, including the recent openings of Conrad Athens The llisian, Sandblu Santorini, LXR Hotels & Resorts and Hilton Chania Old Town Resort & Spa.
