Hampton by Hilton: История и развитие сети отелей

Hotel chain

Hampton by Hilton, formerly (and still commonly called) Hampton Inn or Hampton Inn & Suites, is an American chain of hotels trademarked by Hilton Worldwide. The Hampton hotel brand is a chain of moderately priced, budget to midscale limited service hotels with limited food and beverage facilities. Most Hampton hotels are independently owned and operated by franchisees, though a few are managed by Hilton. Hampton by Hilton is one of the largest hotel franchises in the U. S. as of March 2024, the Hampton franchise includes 3,000 hotels in 40 countries and territories. Its first hotel was a two story, exterior entrance building with 128 guest rooms located in Memphis, Tennessee. In late 1989, after some financial difficulties, Holiday Corporation prepared to sell its hallmark Holiday Inn hotels and started the holding company Promus Hotel Corporation, which included Hampton Inn, Embassy Suites, and Homewood Suites. With this change, Promus re invested in the Hampton Inn brand and began its change from a budget hotel to a middle market limited service hotel to compete with their freshly sold former brand. The hotel chain was the first of the mid price hotels to offer free continental breakfast By 1990, the Hampton Inn chain included over 220 properties with more than 27,000 rooms. Hampton Inn and Suites was introduced in 1995, which featured two room suite style hotel rooms complete with living room and kitchen areas. In 1999, Promus Hotel Corporation was bought by Hilton Worldwide for $3.7 billion.

In 2004, as part of the $100 million "Make it Hampton" initiative, Hampton began upgrading its hotels including the production of an alarm clock which featured an easy to set alarm and an mp3 player hook up. Other changes made during the upgrade were the switch to white bedding, Hampton by Hilton was ranked in the top 5 in Entrepreneur's Franchise 500 from 2010–2015.

as of December 2019, Hampton by Hilton includes 2,544 hotels in 30 countries and territories with 266,933 rooms, including 72 that are managed with 10,061 rooms and 2,472 that are franchised with 256,872 rooms. In 2009, the first "Hampton by Hilton" signage was put in place in the UK with the opening of the brand's first European location. The brand continued to operate internationally as Hampton by Hilton until 2015, when Hilton announced that the official brand names of Embassy Suites and Hampton would include "by Hilton" at all of their locations. A similar agreement with the Wasl Asset Management group will bring Hampton by Hilton to Dubai.
