Hilton Trinidad has warned it could leave the property if a new lease agreement is not finalized by September 18, as negotiations with state-owned Evolving TecKnologies and Enterprise Development Company Limited continue. The talks are focused on securing the future of one of Trinidad and Tobago’s longest-running international hotel brands.
The future of Hilton Trinidad & Conference Centre remains uncertain as the hotel operator and eTeck continue negotiations over a new lease agreement. Hilton has indicated that September 18 is a key deadline for reaching an agreement, raising concerns over the possibility of the hotel ending operations at the Port of Spain property if discussions are unsuccessful.
eTeck, which owns the hotel facility, has confirmed that negotiations with Hilton are in their final stages as both sides work toward resolving outstanding issues. The discussions involve the terms under which Hilton would continue managing the property, which has operated as a major business and tourism facility overlooking the Queen’s Park Savannah for decades.
The Hilton Trinidad & Conference Centre has played a significant role in the country’s hospitality sector, hosting international visitors, government events and regional conferences. The outcome of the lease negotiations could affect the future operation of the landmark hotel as Trinidad and Tobago seeks to maintain established tourism infrastructure and attract business travel to the country.
