2019: Hilton Anniversaries
With 2019 not far, that's supposed to be a big year for Hilton, and for these reasons: anniversaries.
35 years since Hampton and Embassy debuted.
50 years since Doubletree debuted.
30 years since Homwood debuted.
10 years since Home2 debuted.
100 years since the Hilton name debuted.
5 years since Canopy by Hilton debuted.
5 years since the debut of Curio.
Does this sound like big news? It should.
UPDATE: Hampton, Embassy, Homewood, and Doubletree all joined Hilton from Promus 20 years ago (1999-2019, so do the math). So yes, 2019 came for all the right reasons.

When did the Conrad and W=A brands start?

Meanwhile, Hilton and Embassy were not part of Hilton when they started. So while for some purposes when they started is relevant, for other purposes when they joined Hilton is more relevant. The stays I did at Hampton before it was part of Hilton won't help me get to lifetime Diamond status.

What most of want to know is, when was the last DoubleTree from scratch created? DoubleTree for a long time has been ConversionTree, ie, a place to put individual hotels that Hilton gets from other programs (or that turn from indie to part of Hilton). I presume since there was no Hilton "hotel family" then, DoubleTree was something other than just a conversion duping ground at first.

Hampton & Embassy joined in 1984 - so even your stays with them up to 1987 don't count for LTD as there was no program.

There is also a second Doubletree being constructed on Elizabeth Quay in Perth near the new Ritz Carlton.

Hampton, Embassy and DoubleTree (and Homewood ???) joined HHonors via Hilton's purchase of the Promus Hotel Corp. I believe this was in 1999.
