Hilton
is the most recognized name in the global lodging hospitality
industry. Since the time Conrad Hilton bought the first hotel
in Cisco, Texas in 1919, Hilton has grown to over 500 hotels,
with more than 147,667 rooms in cities all over the world. This
preeminent brand name in hospitality has been synonymous with
excellence for offering its guests and customers the finest
accommodations, services, amenities and value for business or
leisure. Due to its fast growth, Hilton can today offer its
guests the widest possible variety of hotel experiences, including
four-star city center hotels, convention properties, all-suite
hotels, extended stay, mid-priced focused service, destination
resorts, vacation ownership, airport hotels and conference centers.
The
name Hilton came to Oahu in 1961 when hotelier Conrad N. Hilton
purchased the majority of interest in the hotel Hawaiian Village.
Conrad Hilton bought Kaiser’s shares in the hotel, which
was then owned by Fritz B. Burns and Henry J. Kaiser. The name
Hilton was added and the name of the resort became Hilton Hawaiian
Village. At the time of the purchase, the Village occupied an
area of 20 acres and included the building of where Hilton Hawaiian
Village Beach Resort & Spa now stands, the thatched-roof
guest rooms and suites, the Tapa Room, Ocean Tower (now Ali`i
Tower), Village Tower (where now Tapa Tower stands), Diamond
Head Tower, gardens, three swimming pools, and the beach with
the lagoon and catamaran pier.
The
already fast growing Hawaiian Village continued its growth with
the purchase. By 1965, the 25-story Hilton Lagoon Apartment’s
room count increased to 1,556. The superstructure of the Mid-Pacific
Conference Center resting atop the 1,800 vehicle-capacity parking
garage was completed in 1969. In 1970, Rainbow Bazaar with more
than 40 shops and restaurants was completed.
In
December 1977, Fritz B. Burns, his son Patrick F. Burns, and
close associates sold 50% of their equity interest in Hilton
Hawaiian Village to Prudential Insurance Company of America.
The remaining 50% was retained by Hilton Hotels Corporation
through a subsidiary. Then in 1998, the Prudential share was
also bought and Hilton Hawaiian Village was entirely owned and
operated by Hilton Hotels Corporation.
