Hilton Continues Its Reign as Asia’s Leading Hospitality Workplace for Eighth Year

Hilton, a leading global hospitality company, has once again secured its position as the top-ranked hospitality company on Great Place to Work®’s “Best Workplaces in Asia™” list. This marks the eighth consecutive year that Hilton has achieved this recognition, with the company placing #2 among the top 100 multinational companies across all industries. This honor reflects Hilton's ongoing dedication to fostering an inclusive and purpose-driven workplace culture.

Hilton's consistent recognition underscores its commitment to providing a superior employee experience that mirrors its core values of hospitality. Through its Thrive@Hilton program, the company ensures that its team members across Asia Pacific can thrive, regardless of their background, role, or location. This program is a key part of Hilton’s strategy to create a workplace that emphasizes inclusion, wellness, growth, and purpose.

Alan Watts, President of Hilton Asia Pacific, expressed his pride in the company’s achievement, stating, "We are deeply honored to be recognized once again as the top-ranked hospitality workplace in Asia. The hospitality landscape is rapidly evolving, and it remains Hilton’s priority to distinguish itself as an employer of choice, and strengthen a culture that values inclusion, growth, and innovation." He also highlighted Hilton's rapid expansion in the region, with plans to surpass 1,000 hotels in Asia Pacific, creating new opportunities for the company’s 62,000 team members.

Hilton’s latest accolade highlights the company’s proactive efforts to adapt to the changing needs of today’s workforce. This includes refining its recruitment and onboarding processes, adopting flexible staffing models, and reducing the time employees spend on routine tasks. A prime example of this innovation is Hilton’s implementation of the “GIG” model in China and Japan, which has provided flexible employment to over 17,000 workers across more than 100 cities, resulting in over 240,000 completed shifts.

Patsy Ng, Vice President of Human Resources, Asia Pacific at Hilton, acknowledged the dedication of Hilton’s employees, saying, "Every day, our team members exemplify the spirit of Hilton’s founding purpose – filling the earth with the light and warmth of hospitality. This incredible achievement reflects their dedication and passion and underscores the strong, inclusive culture they have helped build."

The “Best Workplaces in Asia™” list is based on employee feedback collected by the global research and consulting firm Great Place to Work®. Hilton’s top ranking in Asia follows several national achievements, including being named the top hospitality employer in Australia, Indonesia, the Philippines, Vietnam, Sri Lanka, and India. Additionally, Hilton was recognized as the #1 World’s Best Workplace by Fortune and Great Place to Work in 2023, making it the only hospitality company ever to receive this global honor.

Cygnett Hotels & Resorts has announced the signing of Cozzet Greater Noida, under its value-driven brand Cozzet, further strengthening the group’s presence in North India’s fast-growing business and institutional corridor.

Designed to cater to business and short-stay travellers, Cozzet Greater Noida will feature 50 thoughtfully planned rooms offering a balanced blend of comfort and functionality, aligned with the brand’s philosophy of “Smart, Safe & Sensible.” The hotel will also offer 2,500 sq. ft. of banquet and meeting space suitable for corporate meetings, social gatherings, and small events. Additional facilities include an all-day dining restaurant serving contemporary Indian flavours alongside popular global favourites, as well as a well-equipped fitness centre catering to the wellness needs of modern travellers.

Strategically located, the property is just 10 minutes from the Greater Noida Expo Mart and enjoys seamless connectivity to the Noida–Greater Noida Expressway and Knowledge Park I, II, and III. This prime location positions the hotel to attract corporate travellers, exhibitors, consultants, and professionals visiting Greater Noida for short- and mid-term business engagements.

Commenting on the signing, Mr. Sarbendra Sarkar, Founder & Managing Director, Cygnett Hotels & Resorts, said, “The economy and value hotel sector continues to be a major growth driver in the Indian hospitality industry. Through Cozzet, our value hotel brand, we aim to capitalise on the rising demand for well-located, efficiently run hotels that deliver assured branded services at reasonable prices. The signing of Cozzet Greater Noida reflects our focused and planned development strategy across key business centres.”

Economy, budget, and value hotels together account for approximately 29 percent of the existing room inventory in India, with the midscale and economy segments collectively outperforming the luxury segment. This clearly highlights the pivotal role played by budget and value hospitality in the country’s growth story. Aligned with this market reality, Cygnett Hotels & Resorts continues to expand the Cozzet brand, with upcoming properties planned in destinations such as Ayodhya, Prayagraj, Amritsar, Hyderabad, and several other high-potential markets across India.

The Indian economy hotel market is estimated to be close to USD 6 billion, underlining its strong growth potential. The addition of Cozzet Greater Noida further reinforces Cygnett Hotels & Resorts’ commitment to strengthening its value portfolio in high-demand locations across the country.
