Reporting periods and scope

U.S. locations

249 Hilton or Hilton Suites hotels were operating in the U.S., excluding territories and possessions, on December 31, 2025. This is the FDD’s total brand population; its separate franchise outlet table covers a narrower population. The directly stated Item 19 operating total is 249 U.S. Hilton or Hilton Suites branded hotels at December 31, 2025, excluding territories and possessions. It is not the 151-hotel performance sample. Item 20 Table 1 separately reports 188 franchised and zero company-owned hotels at 2025 year end. Table 3 includes one Guam hotel; this table is not substituted for the complete U.S. brand population. Item 20 states its tables include nine U.S. Hilton Suites franchised hotels and assigned predecessor franchise agreements. The source does not treat pandemic-related temporary closures or reduced operations as closed or ceased operations. Counts are dated source reports, not current live-locator verification.
