Who owned it between Holiday Inn and Hilton? (I remember staying at one in the mid 90s before it joined Hilton, but I booked through a "1/2 price hotel" at the time and so I have no clue who they belonged to then, or if they were standalone then.)

Hampton Inns were originally owned by Promus Hotel Corporation, a Memphis, TN holding company that also owned Embassy Suites Hotels and Doubletree Hotels. In 1999, Promus Hotels was acquired by Hilton for $3.7 billion.
Promus Hotel Corporation's beginnings are tied to the original Holiday Inn company in Memphis, Tennessee. By 1974 Holiday Inn had diversified into several businesses that included a meat processing company, furniture processing, and a bus line. In 1974 Holiday Inn began to refocus on its core business and sell off most of these non-core businesses. In 1990 Holiday Inn spun off the Promus Companies and then in 1995 the Promus Companies spun off Promus Hotel Corporation.
