| Hilton Hotels is a
international chain of full-service hotels and resorts founded
by Conrad Hilton and now owned by the Hilton Hotels Corporation.
Hilton Hotels are either owned, managed, or franchised to
independent operators by the Hilton Hotels Corporation. As of
2008 there are 533 Hilton branded hotels across the world.
Hilton Hotels became the first coast-to-coast hotel chain of the
United States in 1943. The original price for an overnight stay
in 1943 was around $20.[1] The company places marketing emphasis
on business travel, but owns and operates a number of resorts
and leisure-oriented hotels as well. The company’s Hilton Honors
guest loyalty program has partnerships with airlines and car
rental companies.The Hilton brand was re-united internationally
after more than 40 years in February 2006, when United States-based
Hilton Hotels Corporation purchased the lodging arm of United
Kingdom-based Hilton Group PLC, which had acquired Hilton’s
international operations in 1987 (the companies had been severed
originally in 1966). |
