NYSE-listed hospitality group Hilton has appointed Andrew McLachlan MD of development in sub-Saharan Africa.

He joins the company with 30 years’ experience in the African hospitality market, including serving in senior corporate roles within major hotel chains in South Africa.

At Hilton, he will oversee ambitious growth plans in the region.

Hilton senior VP for development in the Europe, Middle East and Africa region Patrick Fitzgibbon elaborates that McLachlan will work closely with the company’s teams in Dubai, Cape Town and Nairobi to drive hotel growth, building on the milestone that the company achieved last year of 100 properties trading and under development in Africa.

McLachlan will be based in Hilton’s development office in Cape Town.

Hilton has 46 hotels open in Africa across six brands, with 57 properties in the pipeline.
