HILTON INC.
PANAMA CITY BEACH, FLORIDA

Hilton Inc., originally established through the ventures of Conrad Hilton, has grown to be a globally recognized leader in hospitality. The company's foundation began with the acquisition of The Mobley Hotel in Cisco, Texas, and expanded as Hilton ventured into various states and eventually coast-to-coast across the United States. A pioneering spirit guided its expansion internationally with Hilton International's establishment at Puerto Rico's Caribe Hilton. Under leadership transitions from Conrad to Barron Hilton, strategic developments included acquisitions of iconic properties such as The Waldorf Astoria and innovations like the introduction of televisions in guest rooms and air-conditioning ubiquitously across hotels. Hilton's innovation continued with initiatives like the creation of a central reservation office, HILCRON, and the introduction of the world’s first loyalty program, Hilton HHonors™. Entering new frontiers, Hilton ventured into the gaming industry by acquiring the Las Vegas Hilton and later re-entered the New York Stock Exchange. Significant corporate realignments occurred as it merged with The Blackstone Group's affiliates, enhancing brand consolidation on a global scale under President and CEO Christopher J. Nassetta. Today, headquartered in McLean, Virginia, Hilton Worldwide operates an extensive network spanning 76 countries. Renowned for its diverse portfolio, Hilton offers an array of hotel experiences including high-end luxury through Conrad Hotels and mid-tier hospitality via brands like Hampton Inn and Hilton Garden Inn. The company's commitment to excellence is exemplified by a guest satisfaction guarantee across all offerings. Maintaining its corporate governance, Hilton Inc.'s current directorial board comprises respected figures such as Lela G Hilton and Cody Khan, with Ethan Register serving as Secretary.
