MCLEAN, Va.–Hampton by Hilton kicked off 2018 by adding seven new hotels to its portfolio of more than 2,330 properties worldwide, including Hampton Inn & Suites by Hilton Knightdale Raleigh and Hampton Inn & Suites by Hilton Sacramento at CSUS. The upper-midscale brand announced that it has more than 580 additional hotels in the global pipeline—a 17.7 percent increase year-over-year.
In 2017, the brand opened an average of two hotels per week globally and eclipsed the 100 new hotel milestone for the third consecutive year. “Following a strong year, we are building upon that momentum by capitalizing on the demand for upper-midscale hotels around the world,” says Shruti Gandhi Buckley, global head, Hampton by Hilton. “Hampton remains the category killer.
