As part of the partnership, Hilton Southampton – The Ageas Bowl will be able to make further use of Hilton’s expertise to help drive the The Ageas Bowl’s global resort status.
We’re delighted to have reached this agreement which further cements our excellent partnership with Hilton. Hilton is the number one hospitality brand in the world and their expertise will help us to take the level of quality, service and value at Hilton Southampton – The Ageas Bowl to a new level.
David Mann, The Ageas Bowl Chief Executive Officer
This new arrangement follows hot on the heels of an excellent ‘Ashes Sleepover’ event held at the The Ageas Bowl last November in partnership with Hilton. The stylish event, which was staged within the hotel’s Media Centre, saw a whole host of attendees invited to enjoy an evening of entertainment ahead of the series-opening Ashes cricket fixture in Australia.
The screening was viewed by guests from their very own Hilton bed, with Sky Sports Broadcaster, Hayley McQueen, and former England internationals Nick Knight and Marcus Trescothick just some of those VIP guests who took part in the evening, alongside a number of high-profile individuals from a range of local businesses.
Having worked with the team at The Ageas Bowl under a franchise agreement, we’re thrilled to be bringing nearly a century of hotel management experience to this iconic destination. At Hilton, innovation is in our DNA, and we look forward to introducing our industry leading management platform, which includes an award-winning recruitment team, revenue management capabilities and sales engine.
The signing of the management agreement further enhances Hilton’s relationship with The Ageas Bowl, with the hotel joining 65 properties under Hilton management in the UK & Ireland, - including Hilton St. George’s Park and Hilton Wembley.
