Hilton Worldwide Holdings Inc.

Hilton Worldwide Holdings operates as a global hospitality company engaged primarily in managing and franchising hotels and resorts rather than owning properties directly. The company licenses its brand names, trademarks, and service marks to hotel operators across a diversified portfolio spanning luxury, lifestyle, full-service, focused-service, and all-suites segments. Its brand offerings include Waldorf Astoria Hotels & Resorts, Conrad Hotels & Resorts, Hilton Hotels & Resorts, DoubleTree by Hilton, Hampton by Hilton, Hilton Garden Inn, and Homewood Suites by Hilton, among others. The company also operates timeshare properties under the Hilton Grand Vacations brand.

The business is structured around two primary segments: Management and Franchise, which generates revenue through management contracts and franchise fees, and Ownership, representing properties the company directly owns or leases. This asset-light model reduces capital requirements compared to traditional property ownership.

With approximately 182,000 full-time employees, Hilton maintains a substantial global footprint spanning North America, South America, Central America and the Caribbean, Europe, the Middle East, Africa, and the Asia Pacific region. The company was founded in 1919 and is incorporated in Delaware with headquarters in McLean, Virginia.
