This podcast is all about the Hilton Hotels and Resorts, and how Conrad Hilton acquired one hotel in Texas and created one of the largest and most well-known of the global hotel empires.
I'm your host, Peter DeMoor. I have a fascination for the hotel industry and over the last quarter-of-a-century I have studied it, been a hotel manager and passed the torch to next generation. Now, as part of an emerging hotel industry tech-startup, I am independent from any specific hotel or chain, and able to talk about the industry with a balanced perspective and with a certain level of expertise. It’s time to check-in!
Today, Hilton is worth more than $50 billion. Its more than 7,500 hotels have more than 1 million hotel rooms. Hilton consistently ranks as the top hotel chain to work for in the world. It has been 45 years since Conrad passed away, yet he remains the gold standard for aspiring hotel managers and owners alike.
