About Hilton Hotels & Resorts

Hilton was the first hotel chain to span the United States coast to coast and pioneered airport hotels and in-room television. Its founder's family name became better known in the twenty-first century for reasons unconnected to hotels. Blackstone's purchase and eventual sale of the company returned a reported profit of about fourteen billion dollars, the largest ever realised on a single private equity investment.
