On the record · Company
Hilton Worldwide Holdings Inc.
Global hotel operator and franchisor. Listed as Hilton Hotels Corporation until the 2007 take-private; the post-2013 public company is Hilton Worldwide Holdings Inc. One canonical Entity spans both names, because it is one continuously operating business and splitting it would make its ownership history unreadable.
Also known as Hilton, Hilton Worldwide Holdings
