The Hilton Hotel (NYSE:HLT http://www.nyse.com/about/listed/lcddata.html?ticker=HLT ) chain is one of the world's largest chains of hotels.

Founded by Conrad Hilton in Cisco, Texas, the chain has 499 hotels across the world and has partnerships with many airline and car rental companies. The American Hilton Hotels Corporation is headquartered in Los Angeles, California. The Hilton Hotels company has always been a family enterprise.

The original company, formed in 1919, sold the rights to the Hilton brand name outside of North America to a British company, which renamed itself The Hilton Group . Because of this, there are two separate companies operating Hilton Hotels.
