Hilton Expands in France with DoubleTree by Hilton Paris Boulogne, Set to Open in January 2026, Strengthening Their New Presence in Paris

Published on November 28, 2025

The growth of Hilton in France is going from strength to strength, with the American hotel group continuing to reinforce its presence across the country. The latest addition to the growing portfolio is the DoubleTree by Hilton Paris Boulogne, opening in January 2026. This new property, born from the conversion of the former Radisson Blu Paris Boulogne into a Hilton-branded hotel, is bound to boost the region’s tourism offer and will appeal to business and leisure travelers alike.

The DoubleTree by Hilton Paris Boulogne will be well-positioned on avenue Edouard Vaillant in Boulogne-Billancourt, close to Roland-Garros stadium, Parc des Princes, and various headquarters. This will make it an easy base from which to enjoy events, sightsee, or do business in Paris. Easy transport links into the major attractions of the city are provided by the proximity of the Porte de Saint-Cloud metro station, which boosts the appeal of Saint-Cloud and Boulogne-Billancourt as key tourism hotspots.

A Premium Property Enhancing Tourism in Paris

The DoubleTree by Hilton Paris Boulogne will feature 170 rooms and suites, catering to a diverse range of travelers, from business professionals attending meetings to leisure visitors exploring Paris. With a restaurant and terrace, a bar, and a fitness area, the property aims to provide a high-quality experience that aligns with the luxury tourism standards in the French capital. This expansion will not only enhance Hilton’s portfolio but will also have a broader impact on Paris tourism, offering additional accommodations in a prime area that sees both high tourist traffic and business activity year-round.

Enhancing MICE Tourism in Paris

One of the key contributions of the DoubleTree by Hilton Paris Boulogne to the Paris tourism economy is its focus on meetings, incentives, conferences, and events (MICE). With the addition of nearly 550 m² of MICE space, including six meeting rooms and the largest room capable of accommodating up to 220 people, the hotel will play an integral role in the continued growth of Paris’ MICE tourism. As the global business tourism capital, Paris is already home to numerous high-profile events, conferences, and meetings, and Hilton’s new property will contribute to this dynamic sector by offering a state-of-the-art venue for events, further cementing the city’s status as a leading destination for business tourism.

Driving Economic and Tourism Growth in Boulogne-Billancourt and Greater Paris

The DoubleTree by Hilton Paris Boulogne is expected to generate a positive economic impact on the surrounding area. With its business-oriented facilities, the hotel will attract a significant number of corporate travelers, thereby driving tourism-related spending in Boulogne-Billancourt and nearby areas. This will benefit local businesses, including restaurants, shops, and cultural venues, which will see increased foot traffic from hotel guests. Additionally, the hotel’s proximity to key Parisian attractions and transport hubs will encourage tourists to explore areas outside the central city, helping to diversify the flow of visitors and support sustainable tourism in the wider Île-de-France region.

A Strategic Move in Hilton’s Ongoing Expansion in France

Hilton’s expansion in France is not just about increasing its hotel footprint; it is also about contributing to the nation’s tourism sector. With the addition of DoubleTree by Hilton Paris Boulogne, Hilton further solidifies its commitment to France’s tourism industry, providing high-quality accommodations for visitors and enhancing the tourism experience for both business and leisure travelers. Hilton’s investment in the French market aligns with its broader strategy to cater to the growing demand for both luxury and sustainable tourism options, particularly in cities like Paris, which continue to see a rise in international tourism arrivals.

Additionally, the recent arrival of Hilton’s Spark brand in Lyon further expands its presence in France, offering affordable yet premium options for travelers, thus contributing to the country’s diverse tourism offerings and making it an attractive destination for tourists across all budget ranges.

Hilton’s Role in Shaping the Future of Paris and French Tourism

Opening DoubleTree by Hilton Paris Boulogne, Hilton will make a strong contribution to the local economy and boost tourism across the Île-de-France region, including Paris. This new, strategically located property further meets demand for quality accommodations in the city that still ranks among the world’s top tourist destinations. Further, this growth goes hand-in-hand with the rising global trend for sustainable tourism-where luxury can balance with eco-conscious travel.

As Hilton continues to expand in France, the hotel group is increasingly well-placed to support the nation’s tourism ambitions, helping to cement Paris’s position as one of the most important international tourist destinations and driving economic prosperity in the surrounding region. With a broad spread of accommodation options suitable for both business and leisure travelers, Hilton is well-positioned to help ensure that Paris remains one of the world’s most popular destinations while supporting long-term growth in the French tourism sector.
