Going to Greece just got a little more affordable. Hilton Worldwide has announced plans to open a Doubletree on the island of Kos in May 2010.

The Doubletree by Hilton Resort, Kos - Helona will be Hilton's second property in Greece (Hilton currently has one hotel in Athens) and the country's first Doubletree by Hilton. The Hilton Kos will offer 238 rooms including 15 suites and three villas, two restaurants and bars, a spa and fitness area, a private beach and a meeting room big enough for your own Greek wedding of up to 700 people.

Of course, all the same amenities you're used to with the Doubletree brand will remain the same including the chocolate chip cookies at check-in. Doubletree by Hilton currently operates 10 properties throughout Europe in the UK, Italy and Slovakia, with development projects confirmed in Russia and Romania.
