Conrad Hilton founded the Hilton hotel chain in 1919, when he bought his first property, the Mobley Hotel, in Cisco, Texas.<ref>Template:Cite web</ref> The first hotel to feature the Hilton brand was the Dallas Hilton. In late 2010, Hilton announced a name change of the Hilton Hotels brand to Hilton Hotels & Resorts along with a new logo design, as part of a rebranding effort for the flagship brand.<ref>Template:Cite web</ref>

Today, Hilton Hotels & Resorts is Hilton's flagship brand and one of the largest hotel brands in the world.<ref name="Rooney11">Template:Cite news</ref> The brand is targeted at both business and leisure travelers with locations in major city centers, near airports, convention centers, and popular vacation destinations around the world.<ref name="USNWR">Template:Cite news</ref>

Planned projects

[edit]

Template:Update section 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>Template:Cite web</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. Plans were also drawn up for the Lunar Hilton, a 5000-room hotel on the Moon, though Steve Hilton noted in 2009 that both these plans were more symbolic than practical at this stage.<ref>Template:Cite web</ref>

In October 2012, Hilton announced a property in the Bangladeshi capital of Dhaka, the Hilton Dhaka, designed by Mustapha Khalid Palash. As of 2023, the hotel has yet to open, though Hilton currently has a targeted 2025 opening date.<ref>Template:Cite web</ref>

In March 2013, Hilton announced that it would be entering Myanmar for the first time with the construction of a 300-room hotel in Yangon.<ref name="investvine">Template:Cite web</ref> While the Yangon hotel has yet to materialize, Hilton did manage to open properties in Mandalay and Naypyidaw in the north of the country (although the Mandalay Hilton has since closed).<ref>Template:Cite web</ref><ref>Template:Cite web</ref>

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>Template:Cite web</ref>

Other ventures

[edit]

In 2017, Hilton announced that it would remain the sponsor for McLaren until 2021. Hilton was one of the oldest sponsors of F1 series and sponsored McLaren since 2005.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref>

In October 2017, Hilton announced it had committed a total of $50m (£37.8m) over five years to its Hilton Africa Growth Initiative to support the continued expansion of its Sub-Saharan African portfolio.Template:Citation needed
