Hilton Hotels & Resorts[3] (formerly known as Hilton Hotels) is a global brand of full-service hotels and resorts and the flagship brand of American multinational hospitality company Hilton.[4]
The original company was founded by Conrad Hilton. As of December 30, 2019, 584 Hilton Hotels & Resorts properties with 216,379 rooms in 94 countries and territories are located across six continents.[1][5] This includes 61 properties that are owned or leased with 219,264 rooms, 272 that are managed with 119,612 rooms, and 251 that are franchised with 77,451 rooms.[1] In 2020, Fortune magazine ranked Hilton Hotels & Resorts at number one on their Fortune List of the Top 100 Companies to Work For in 2020 based on an employee survey of satisfaction.[6]
Overview
Conrad Hilton founded the Hilton hotel chain in 1919, when he bought his first property, the Mobley Hotel, in Cisco, Texas.[7] The first hotel to feature the Hilton brand was the Dallas Hilton. In late 2010, Hilton announced a name change of the Hilton Hotels brand to Hilton Hotels & Resorts along with a new logo design, as part of a rebranding effort for the flagship brand.[8]
Today, Hilton Hotels & Resorts is Hilton's flagship brand and one of the largest hotel brands in the world.[9] The brand is targeted at both business and leisure travelers with locations in major city centers, near airports, convention centers, and popular vacation destinations around the world.[10]
Hilton Hotels & Resorts participates in Hilton Honors, Hilton's guest-loyalty program established in 1989.[11] Members who book directly through Hilton-owned channels receive exclusive discounts and amenities such as free Wi-Fi, digital check-in, keyless entry, and the ability to use a mobile app to choose specific rooms.[12][13]
Addis Ababa, Ethiopia: The Hilton Addis, a landmark hotel in Addis Ababa, was designed to resemble the rock-hewn churches of Lalibela. Hilton was given a 50-year contract to manage the hotel under the condition that it will not open any other property in the city.
Albuquerque, United States: The Hilton Hotel in Albuquerque was opened in 1939 as the first Hilton-branded hotel outside Texas and the first high-rise in Albuquerque. It was sold to other companies in 1974 and subsequently left the chain, but ended up with Hilton again in 2019, after which it was branded as part of the Curio Collection. It has been included in the National Register of Historic Places since 1984.
Algiers, Algeria: The Hilton Alger first opened in 1993, but closed a year later after the assassination of a representative from Daewoo, which supervised the hotel's construction, during the height of the Algerian Civil War. It reopened as an independent hotel in 1997 and became a Hilton again in 2000, before it closed for the second time in 2017.[26][27]
Amsterdam, Netherlands: John Lennon and Yoko Ono held their first Bed-In for Peace between March 25 and 31, 1969, at the Hilton Amsterdam, in Room 902 (renumbered to Room 702 during renovation). This room became a popular tourist destination.[28]
Antananarivo, Madagascar: The Madagascar Hilton, opened in 1970, has been described as the city's only "true" high-rise building.[30] It left the chain in 2007 and is currently known as the Hotel Carlton Madagascar.
Hilton Barcelona opened in 1990 after a few decades of legal wrangling, during which time its original proposed location was repurposed as a hospital.[35]
The Hilton Diagonal Mar Barcelona opened in 2004 as the second Hilton property in the city, following the Hilton Barcelona.[36]
Beirut, Lebanon: With construction on the Beirut Hilton finished, the hotel was scheduled to open on April 14, 1975, but the Lebanese Civil War erupted exactly one day before the Grand Opening date, April 13. The hotel never opened and was severely damaged during the war, and the building was demolished in the late 1990s. However, two different hotels later opened in 2011 under the Hilton name in the city's eastern suburb, the Hilton Beirut Metropolitan Palace and the Hilton Beirut Grand Habtoor, which face each other. Both are conversions from independent hotels.[39]
Belgrade, Serbia: In March 2018, Hilton opened their first hotel in Serbia, Hilton Belgrade.[40][41]
Birmingham, United Kingdom: With nearly 800 rooms and suites, the Hilton Birmingham Metropole is the largest hotel in the United Kingdom outside London. It was originally two separate hotels that were joined by a tunnel in 1988.
Bridgetown, Barbados: On October 24, 1999, the four double columns of the left-hand side of the then-modern Barbados Hilton in Needhams Point collapsed and imploded inwards in just 10 to 15 seconds during an earthquake. It was later demolished in May 2005 after Hilton Hotels constructed a new property in January that year.
The Palmer House Hilton is a historic hotel in the Chicago Loop. It is notable for being the city's first hotel to feature elevators, electric light bulbs, and telephones. It has been dubbed the longest-operating hotel in North America, although it was temporarily closed for a year during the COVID-19 pandemic.[47]
The Hilton Chicago figured prominently in the 1968 Democratic Convention police riot[48] that occurred on Michigan Avenue and across the street in Grant Park on August 28. During the riot the demonstrators took up the chant "The whole world is watching", and the hotel's doors were locked for the first time in its history. The hotel suffered minor damage as a result of the violence, and a couple of street-level windows gave way under the weight of dozens of protesters being pushed up against them by the police.
The Drake Hotel was formerly a longtime rival of The Palmer House, before it was acquired by Hilton International in 1980 and operated under its Vista Hotels brand.[49] It became a Hilton proper in 2005.

Following the Cuban Revolution, it famously became the residence of Fidel Castro and other Cuban revolutionaries.

Helsinki, Finland: The Hilton Helsinki Kalastajatorppa was originally a 1910s fisherman's croft, before it became a restaurant and eventually a hotel. Hilton inherited management of the property during its ownership of Scandic Hotels from 2001 to 2007.[60]

Kyiv, Ukraine: The Hilton Kyiv is part of a 25-level, multipurpose building called the H-Tower, with the hotel occupying floors 3–8.[66]
The Las Vegas Hilton was rebranded from the former International Hotel in 1971. An extension in 1981 added 391 rooms to the existing 2,783, which made it the largest hotel in the world until 1990. The Las Vegas Hilton was one of Hilton's most successful properties until the Great Recession. The hotel exited the Hilton system in 2012 and is currently managed by Westgate Resorts.

The intervention by the Egyptians led to the deterioration of relations between Cyprus and Egypt.

Sydney, Australia: On February 13, 1978, the Sydney Hilton Hotel was the site of one of the few terrorist incidents on Australian soil, when a bomb blast killed three people (two council workers and a policeman).
Taba, Egypt: Hilton began managing the Aviya-Sonesta Beach Hotel in 1990, a hotel built by Israel during its occupation of the Sinai Peninsula, after an international panel ruled that the strip of land it sat on belonged to Egypt. Rebranded as Hilton Taba, the hotel was popular with Israeli tourists on account of its location near Eilat and its tax-free status (to this day, it is the only hotel in Egypt where Israelis do not need to pay a tax to travel to).[107] It left the Hilton chain in 2017 and subsequently joined Deutsche Hospitality.[108]
Tallinn, Estonia: In June 2016, Hilton opened their first hotel in Estonia and the Baltic states, Hilton Tallinn Park.[109]

Willemstad, Curaçao: The Curaçao Hilton, built in 1967, was one of the first international-branded hotels on the island. The property left the chain in 1983, became a Hilton again in 2003, before leaving for good in 2019. It is currently operated by Hyatt as part of its Dreams all-inclusive brand.
Planned projects
A commercial space station project known as Space Islands was proposed by Hilton International in 1999 to be constructed from used Space Shuttle fuel tanks.[118] When completed, it was to be called the Hilton Orbital Hotel. The tanks were to be connected together to form a ring, resulting in a space station similar to that pictured in the film 2001: A Space Odyssey. Plans were also drawn up for the Lunar Hilton, a 5000-room hotel on the Moon, though Steve Hilton noted in 2009 that both these plans were more symbolic than practical at this stage.[119]
In March 2013, Hilton announced that it would be entering Myanmar for the first time with the construction of a 300-room hotel in Yangon.[121] While the Yangon hotel has yet to materialize, Hilton did manage to open properties in Mandalay and Naypyidaw in the north of the country (although the Mandalay Hilton has since closed).[122][123]
In 2017, Hilton announced that it would remain the sponsor for McLaren until 2021. Hilton was one of the oldest sponsors of F1 series and sponsored McLaren since 2005.[125]
