Following a construction period of 20 months, the hotel opened on 17 May 1994, two years after the airport went into operation. The architect of the hotel is German-born Helmut Jahn of the Chicago-based Murphy/Jahn Architectural Group. The hotel's grand plaza is a 24- metre high and 1400 square metre large atrium hall with a glass roof and decorated with palm trees (18 metres tall) from Florida. Green cubes and grown-over pyramid shapes continue the outer landscape surrounding the airport.
On 1 January 2015, the hotel was taken over by Hilton Hotels & Resorts. In March 2017, a 7-story extension building was completed adding 162 rooms spanning over 6 floors and new office spaces on the first floor. The existing office facilities on the ground floor of the old building were converted into conference facilities.
