Hampton Inn/Hampton Inn & Suites
Hotel
If you need a bed for the night, Hilton Hotels has a few hundred thousand of them. One of the largest hoteliers in the world, the company's lodging empire has hotels and resorts in more than 80 countries operating under such names as Doubletree, Embassy Suites, and Hampton, as well as its flagship Hilton brand. Many of its hotels serve the mid-market segment, though its Hilton and Conrad hotels offer full-service, upscale lodging. In addition, its Homewood Suites chain offers extended-stay services. The company franchises many of its hotels; it owns the Waldorf-Astoria and the New York Hilton. Private equity firm The Blackstone Group bought Hilton in 2007 for about $20 billion plus debt.
Why This Company Makes Our AllStar List
Strong brand awareness (#26) and the top rank in Web visibility both contributed to Hampton Inn/Hampton Inn & Suites becoming the highest-ranked hotel franchise in the 2012 AllStar list.
The upper-midscale hotel brand gained many new customers during the recession. Hampton keeps its brand fresh by actively seeking input on ways to better serve its customers.
Hampton benefits from being part of the Hilton group of hotels, which allows cross-selling among the hotel brands. The company also continues to push green practices with the opening of a new hotel in Miami that will be LEED certified in early 2012.
In 2012, Hampton anticipates most of its new growth to be outside the U.S. Most international growth has been in Western Europe, however the chain has begun exploring growth opportunities in India and China.
2011 AllStar Rank: 4
2010 AllStar Rank: 10
2009 AllStar Rank: 8
