The latest achievement adds to a series of country-level accolades, with Hilton also named a top employer in Australia, India, Vietnam, and Sri Lanka, and consistently recognized across Indonesia, the Philippines, Japan, Korea, and China.

Hilton has been named the Best Workplace in Sri Lanka™ 2025 by Great Place to Work®, topping the large-sized business category for the first time after four years as the leading hospitality employer.
