HILTON INC.
PANAMA CITY BEACH, FLORIDA

Hilton Inc., founded by the visionary Conrad Hilton, has grown into a leading global hospitality brand. It all started when Conrad bought The Mobley Hotel in Cisco, Texas, and quickly expanded across the United States, pioneering international ventures with the opening of Hilton International's first hotel at Puerto Rico’s Caribe Hilton. The company saw significant leadership transitions from Conrad to Barron Hilton, during which time it acquired iconic properties like The Waldorf Astoria. Under their guidance, Hilton brought innovations such as guest room TVs and widespread air-conditioning in its hotels. They also introduced the world’s first hotel reservation office, HILCRON, along with the pioneering loyalty program, Hilton HHonors™. Hilton further expanded by venturing into the gaming industry with the acquisition of the Las Vegas Hilton. It eventually re-entered the New York Stock Exchange before merging with Blackstone Group's affiliates, allowing for greater global brand unification under President and CEO Christopher J. Nassetta. Today, Hilton is headquartered in McLean, Virginia, and operates hotels in 76 countries worldwide. With a diverse range of experiences from luxury Conrad Hotels to beloved brands like Hampton Inn and Hilton Garden Inn, the company continues to prioritize guest satisfaction with its guarantee across all offerings. The current directorial board includes respected figures such as Lela G Hilton and Cody Khan, with Ethan Register serving as Secretary.
