(NYSE: HLT), Asia's fastest-growing hospitality company, has been honored once again as Sri Lanka's top-ranked hospitality company to work for, achieving an overall #3 position across all industries in the large-sized business category.

This is the fourth consecutive year that Hilton is placed on Sri Lanka's Best Workplaces list by global research and consulting firm Great Place to Work®.

The global hospitality company's latest win also follows the opening of Hilton Yala Resort, joining Hilton Colombo, Hilton Colombo Residences and DoubleTree by Hilton Weerawila Rajawarna Resort.

Across South East Asia, Hilton had consistently achieved top honors for its outstanding and inclusive workplace culture, clinching #2 Best Workplace in Indonesia last month and #4 Best Workplace in the Philippines earlier this year. As with previyears, Hilton was the highest-ranked hospitality company to appear on both lists. Last month, Hilton was also certified as a Great Place to Work for the third time in Malaysia and Thailand, and for the second time in the Maldives.

“Receiving this accolade in Sri Lanka is a reflection of the faith and confidence our Team Members have placed in Hilton since we began operations in the country 36 years ago. As the only hospitality company named on the list, this recognition reflects how Hilton is a leader not just in our industry, but across all categories of business. With Hilton setting our sights on stronger growth in Sri Lanka and the wider South East Asia region, we look forward to creating more meaningful career opportunities for our Team Members across the Hilton family and promoting pathways for them to thrive in their careers,” said Alexandra Murray, area vice president & head of South East Asia, Hilton.
