The wines of Huental are one of many Camsen's Endeavors. The winery in Valle de Uco has its own vineyard and produces premium labels that it exports to eight countries on different continents.
For the Hilton chain, it is another step in Argentina and the region. "At the end of 2022, the brand celebrated the opening of its 200th hotel in the Caribbean and Latin America with the Waldorf Astoria Cancun. This milestone capped a decade of strong and continuous growth, whereby the company tripled its regional portfolio and added 75% to the current portfolio of hotels", said Maturana.

The American hotel brand has a business model of light capital, that is, it is not directly owned by the hotel. In this case, the investment is in the hands of the Huentala Inversiones Hoteleras group. "As a management and franchise company, we are focused solely on delivering optimal profitability to hotel owners. Hilton brings the resources, tools and talent that drive market-leading metrics that translate into significant competitive advantages," said the CEO.
