Hilton also plans to open two Hilton Garden Inn hotels in Sochi by 2012. The firm will also open a 224 room Doubletree by Hilton hotel in Perm by 2013.
The number of hotels in Russia under the Hilton brand could grow, if talks with investors and developers are successful, Ilyichev said.
Hilton Worldwide is one of the largest hotel chains in the world, with over 3500 hotels in 81 countries.
