Hilton Hotels & Resorts (formerly known as Hilton Hotels) is an
international chain of full service hotels and resorts and the flagship brand
of Hilton Worldwide.[
The original company was founded by Conrad Hilton. Hilton
Hotels became the first coast-to-coast hotel chain of the United States in
1943. As of 2010, there were over 530 Hilton branded hotels across the world in
78 countries across six continents. Hilton hotels are managed by, or franchised
to independent operators by Hilton Worldwide.
The U.S. branch of Hilton hotels was reunited with the
international properties after more than 40 years in February 2006, when United
States-based Hilton Hotels Corporation purchased the hotels division of United
Kingdom-based Hilton Group plc, which had acquired Hilton's International operations
in 1987 (the companies had been separated originally in 1964)
