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.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Hilton to back space hotel |url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/sci/tech/293366.stm |access-date=November 15, 2021 |website=[[BBC News]]}}</ref>  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 (film)|2001: A Space Odyssey]]''. Plans were also drawn up for the [[Lunar Hilton]], a 5000-room hotel on the [[Moon]], though [[Steven M. Hilton|Steve Hilton]] noted in 2009 that both these plans were more symbolic than practical at this stage.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Novak |first=Matt |title=What happened to Hilton's 'hotel on the Moon'? |url=https://www.bbc.com/future/article/20120712-where-is-hiltons-lunar-hotel |access-date=January 14, 2022 |website=[[BBC News]]}}</ref>

In October 2012, Hilton announced a property in the [[Bangladesh]]i capital of [[Dhaka]], the [[Hilton Dhaka]], designed by [[Mustapha Khalid Palash]].

In 2018, Hilton announced two hotel projects in [[Kampala]], [[Uganda]]: the [[Kampala Hilton Hotel]] and the [[Hilton Garden Inn Kampala]]. Both projects are still in development. A previous Hilton project in Kampala and announced in 2006 was repurposed into [[The Pearl of Africa Hotel Kampala]], after Hilton exited the venture.<ref>{{cite web|date=29 March 2019 |url=https://www.256businessnews.com/hilton-to-debut-two-properties-in-kampala/ |title=Hilton to debut two properties in Kampala |publisher=256BusinessNews.com |access-date=1 May 2019 |location=Kampala}}</ref>
