Description: HLT Hilton Worldwide Holdings January 28, 2026

Hilton Worldwide Holdings Inc. (NYSE: HLT) is a global hospitality firm that manages, franchises, owns, and leases hotels and resorts across 12 brands ranging from luxury (Waldorf Astoria, Conrad) to economy (Hampton, Tru). Its operations are split between a Management & Franchise segment, which generates fee-based revenue, and an Ownership segment, which contributes earnings from property assets. The company’s footprint spans North, Central, and South America, Europe, the Middle East, Africa, and the Asia-Pacific.

As of FY 2023, Hilton reported $9.5 billion in total revenue, with RevPAR (Revenue per Available Room) up 12% YoY in its core North American market, reflecting strong leisure travel demand. Occupancy rates in the Asia-Pacific region reached 71% in Q4 2024, the highest quarterly level since 2019, driven by easing visa restrictions and robust inbound tourism. The firm’s pipeline includes over 1,200 new rooms slated for opening by 2026, a figure that aligns with the industry-wide supply deficit projected to keep average daily rates (ADR) above inflationary pressures.
