The modern concept of lodging hospitality was created by Conrad Hilton over 85 years ago. HILTON's hotels celebrate individuality, diversity and localization, creating local market relevance within an environment of luxurious comfort and consistently impeccable service. A smaller HILTON full-service prototype has been designed to deliver upscale services in smaller, growing urban and resort markets and uses a compact design footprint. Development also continues with larger-scale, full-service hotels.
