Hilton World­wide has agreed to a three-month ex­ten­sion for the con­tin­ued use of its brand in Port-of-Spain while dis­cus­sions on the ho­tel’s fu­ture with the Gov­ern­ment-owned en­ti­ty re­main on­go­ing.

Guardian Me­dia In­ves­ti­ga­tions Desk un­der­stands that a fi­nal de­ci­sion on whether the Hilton brand would re­main af­fixed to the ho­tel will be made when the lat­est ne­go­ti­a­tions con­clude in Ju­ly.

In an in­ter­nal memo emailed to Hilton Trinidad ex­ec­u­tives, Gen­er­al Man­ag­er Olivi­er Mau­maire con­firmed: “A three-month ex­ten­sion has been agreed, ef­fec­tive April 16th.”
