Franchise Business Plan – Hilton Hotels & Resorts
- Industry Insights
Hilton Hotels & Resorts Franchise Business Plan
- 08 Apr, 2019
Hilton Worldwide Holdings Inc. ( Hilton ) is a McLean, VA-based lodging company that owns, manages, and franchises more than 5,200 hotels with 856,115 rooms worldwide. An estimated 73.2% of the company’s rooms are based in the U.S. Hilton owns 13 hotel brands, from luxury hotels to budget chains. The majority of its brands operate under franchise agreements with independent operators and companies. It is estimated that Hilton’s total U.S. systemwide sales have grown at an annualized rate of 8.3% over the past five years reaching $27.8 billion.
Financial Forecast
The initial investment for establishing a new Hilton hotel with 300 rooms ranges from $29,162,700 to $111,936,150. There are numerous initial expenses a franchisee incurs such as the franchise application fee, signage, equipment, and insurance. Operating a Hilton hotel includes numerous operating expenses such as a monthly royalty fee (5% of gross rooms revenue and 3% of gross food and beverage revenue), a monthly spa royalty fee (2% of gross spa revenue), and a monthly program fee (4% of gross rooms revenue). Joorney Business Plan writers have extensive experience in developing long-term financial projections for Hilton hotels and understand the specifics pertaining to the initial investment requirements.
Hilton offers training courses to franchisees for orientation and as part of the certification process. There are nine training programs as well as the annual brand or regional conference. Some of the programs are online self-paced programs that trainees can access at any time. The franchisor and its affiliates offer many additional optional learning programs and may develop additional learning programs at any time. Joorney Business Plans develops comprehensive and detailed personnel plans that link the proposed employees’ skills and training to their designated roles.
Advertising
The franchisee’s business is included in the international, national, and regional marketing and advertising programs. Most advertising is placed on the internet, as well as in national coverage traditional media (such as TV, radio, newspaper, magazine, and direct email). The source of advertising is the in-house marketing department and national advertising agencies. All franchisees must advertise and promote the hotel on a local and regional basis in a first-class, dignified manner at their cost and expense. All advertising and promotional materials must be approved by the franchisor. Joorney Business Plan writers help clients write detailed marketing and advertising strategies in line with the franchise agreement.
Business Location
Hilton grants franchisees a non-exclusive license to operate a hotel at a specified location. However, the franchisor does not grant a protected area or territory. Franchisees could face competition from other franchisees, from hotels the franchisor’s affiliates own, or from other channels of distribution or competitive brands that the franchisor controls. In some cases, the franchisor may give franchisees certain specific territorial restrictions for an area surrounding the franchised hotel and encompassing the immediate competitive market for the hotel. Joorney Business Plans develops extensive local market analyses helping clients fully understand their competitive position at a given location.
By becoming a Hilton franchisee, you will become a part of one of the most recognizable names in hospitality and lodging. For almost a hundred years, Hilton has been dedicated to continuing its tradition of providing exceptional guest experiences. The company stands as the stylish, forward-thinking, global leader in the hospitality industry.

INTRODUCTION TO HILTON
Hilton Hotels Corporation, now known as Hilton Worldwide, is a global hospitality business. The American company is now owned by the Blackstone Group, a multinational US private equity , investment banking, alternate asset management and financial services corporation. The company was created by Conrad Hilton in Cisco, Texas. The headquarters were in Beverly Hills, California from 1969 till 2009. After that, the headquarters moved to Fairfax County, Virginia.
Until 2013, Hilton was ranked 38 th in terms of size among privately held company by Forbes. In December 2013, the company returned to being a publicly held company in a second IPO worth an estimated $2.35 billion. As of 2014, the company has over 4000 hotels under all the Hilton brands. These have an estimated 680,117 rooms in 91 countries.
There are several brands that operate under the Hilton brand portfolio. These are either owned, managed or franchised by the company. Some of the hotels under this portfolio include Waldorf Astoria Hotels and Resorts, Conrad Hotels and Resorts, Hilton Hotels and Resorts, Embassy Suites, Hampton Inn and Hampton Inn and Suites, Doubletree by Hilton, Hilton Garden Inn, Home2 Suites, Homewood Suites, and Hilton Grand Vacations.
Since 2005, the company is among the sponsors of the United States Olympic Team.
The Early Years
Through most of its history, the hotel chain was managed by Hilton family members since the company was created in 1919 by Conrad Hilton with the purchase of his first hotel. Hilton was born in New Mexico and was one of eight children. He worked as a trader, a clerk, a bellboy and a pianist all before he was 18. In another few years he did turns in politics and banking. When his father died in 1919, he left the army and went to Texas with the intention of buying a small bank to capitalize on the oil boom at the time. Finding banks too expensive and hotels overbooked, he made a deal with a property owner looking to sell. He managed to gather the necessary investment and The Mobley, Hilton’s first hotel, was born. Within a year, he bought two more properties in Texas and in 1925, the first hotel with the Hilton name was set up in Dallas.
Hilton managed to survive the depression in the US with 5 out of his 8 hotels and went on to buy his first hotel outside of Texas. This was the Sir Francis Drake in San Francisco. He later sold this at a profit to raise money to purchase the Stevens in Chicago which was the largest hotel in the world at the time. Through World War 2, he continued his acquisitions in LA and New York and by 1942 had presence from coast to coast in the US. His goal at the time was New York’s Waldorf Astoria. He continued to carry a photo of the hotel with him since the hotel opened in 1931. In 1946, he created the Hilton Hotels Corporation and became the first hotel company to list on the New Work Stock Exchange.
By the 1940s, the company had expanded to a worldwide chain of premium hotels. Hilton pushed his board for international expansion and opened the first hotel in Puerto Rico. At the time, a wholly owned subsidiary was created, called Hilton Hotels International and the first European hotel opened in Madrid in 1953. Hilton also purchased the lease on the Waldorf Astoria in 1949, converting it into a profitable venture within a year. The expansion continued with the biggest hotel merger in the industry when Hilton purchased the Statler Hotel Company at the price of $111 million and with international hotels in Turkey and Mexico City.
International Operations Divestment
During the 1960s, the company divested its international operations, creating a separately traded company called Hilton International Co. This spin-off was a publicly traded company with Conrad Hilton as its president. He also became chairman of the Hilton Hotels board at the time. This period was marked by change in leadership when Hilton’s son Barron became president of the company. On his persuasion, Hilton agreed to exchange his stake in Hilton International for shares of Trans World Airlines. This investment did not pay off as expected and claims over the Hilton name were lost internationally.
In 1967, this new company was acquired by Trans World Corporation, a holding company for Trans World Airlines. This business was sold again in the eighties to UAL Corp, the holding company for United Airlines. This company made attempts to position itself as a holistic travel company that included the Westin Hotels and Hertz rental cars along with Hilton International and United Airlines. Corporate tussles led this business to be sold again soon after to a British leisure and gambling concern called the Ladbroke Group. By 1999, the company was renamed as Hilton Group plc.
These separate evolutions of the domestic and international businesses meant that two simultaneous yet autonomous Hilton companies were operating in the world. Both companies were contractually forbidden to operate in each other’s territory under the same name. To manage this, hotels run globally by the American Hilton company were called Conrad Hotels while those run by the international company within the US were called Vista International Hotels. This was an understandably confusing situation for consumers so in 1997, the two companies developed a joint marketing agreement. The terms of this agreement allowed the two companies to share a logo, promote both brands and maintain a joint reservation system. Around the same time, the Vista Hotels were slowly closed and the Conrad converted into a Luxury brand under the Hilton umbrella with hotels operational in both the US and around the world.
The Casino Business
During the early seventies, the chain expanded into casino hotels in Las Vegas, Nevada and by the late eighties this area was bringing in close to 44 percent of the company’s total income. Barron Hilton worked the franchising model during this time and the launch of a computerized reservation system, nicknamed the HILTRON. This system was later adopted by other hotels in the industry, adding to the company’s revenue stream. In 1975, 50 percent share in six major hotels was sold off with the agreement that Hilton would continue to manage the properties for a percentage of returns. This was a unique business model at the time and later became a standard practice within the industry.
In the late seventies, the company finally completed the purchase of the Waldorf-Astoria land and building and in 1979, Conrad Hilton died at the age of 91. His son succeeded him as the chairman of the board. The company continued to stay afloat during years of recession by relying on revenues from casinos, leasing and management and franchise fees.
Renewing international expansion, the company created a new subsidiary by the name of Conrad International Hotels in 1982. Hotels were opened in Australia. Turkey, Egypt, Hong Kong, Uruguay and New Zealand in the decade that followed.
In a change of management, Barron Hilton handed over the reins to Stephen F. Bollenbach in 1996. Bollenbach was the first non-Hilton to lead the company. He took some bold steps to revitalize the company and among these was the decisions to spin-off the gaming side of the business. In 1998, this arm of the chain became Park Plaza Entertainment Corporation after growing this business substantially. This concern is now called Caesar’s Entertainment Inc. A year later, he drove an acquisition of the $3.7 billion Promus Hotel Corporation, adding further brand names to the company’s portfolio. These included, Doubletree, Embassy Suites, Hampton Inn, Homewood Suites and Harrison Conference Centers.
During his tenure, he also reunified the divided Hilton concerns by purchasing a stake in the British owner Ladbroke. The two companies agreed to work together to develop new hotels as well as joint plans for marketing and honoring frequent stay plans for each other.
In 2007, the company agreed to a buy-out from Blackstone Group. The transaction meant that the new owner had to deal with a $20 million debt in an economic downturn. This debt was restructured in 2010 with Blackstone investing further equity into the company. In 2013, the company filed for a $1.25 billion IPO.
BUSINESS MODEL
Business segments & its products and services.
The company, through expansion and acquisitions over the years, caters to a large number of business segments and consumer types. Some of their segments include:
- Waldorf Astoria Hotels and Resorts The Waldorf Astoria Collection of luxury hotels were created after the original Waldorf Astoria in New York City. Other Hilton hotels often have the Waldorf name attached to them but are not necessarily part of the flagship brand. The hotels have presence in the US, China, the UK, Saudi Arabia, Italy, France, Germany, Israel, the Netherlands and Panama, with further development underway in China, UAE, Indonesia and Canada.

They are owned or managed by Hilton Worldwide or franchised to independent operators. The company has an extensive guest loyalty program with partnerships that range from airlines to car rental companies. These programs are applicable in all Hilton Worldwide hotels.
- Most DoubleTree hotels are franchised though some are managed by the company itself. These hotels came under the Hilton Umbrella after the purchase of the Promus Hotel Company.
- These are upscale hotels under the Hilton brand name. By 2011, there were 200 in the US with 8 operational internationally. Competitors include Cambria Suites and SpringHill Suites by Marriott.

- These are a mid-range chain of hotels that offer a more adorable price tag for both business and leisure travelers. All hotels in this range are franchised.
- Hilton Grand Vacations
Franchising
Over the years, Hilton Worldwide has made a shift from a traditional hotel company to more of a consultant. This shift in business model was driven aggressively by the new owner, Blackstone Inc. Out of 4,080 Hilton properties, less than 4 percent are directly owned or leased by the company itself. Instead, the company will merely manage it for a share of the profits or it is completely operated by a franchisee.
This model takes away real estate fluctuation concerns from the Hilton management. Problems such as property values and capital investment into building development and maintenance are no longer a concern. And keep the business growing despite global economic downturns. Instead, the focus is on developing the brand, the customer service and working on occupancy. Franchise fees keep up the revenue and consultant privileges ensure that a keen eye can be kept on compliance to hotel standards. Hilton retains control of most of its flagship properties, airport properties, and largest resorts.
The downside of this arrangement is that during good times for business, the company will make less than the franchisee. This is not a major concern for the company at the moment. This model is popular among the hotel industry.
Competitors
The company competes globally with major industry players such as Marriott, Hyatt, Starwood Hotels and Resorts, ACCOR group, Choice Hotels, and Intercontinental Hotels. Key criteria for competition among these companies include locations, quality of rooms and services and global operations and presence. A 2006 comparison of major players shows how Hilton ranks among competitors.
Though all top tier hotel chains aim to offer similar service as competitors, Hilton manages to deliver on service standardization, integrated IT systems and a keen focus on customer satisfaction. Apart from this, the company is not afraid to question itself. A few years ago, the company launched a global research program to support a brand reinvention activity. This helps the company stay relevant.

Case in point, for business explorers Hilton gives meeting offices, gathering rooms, video chatting etc. Accordingly according to focusing on, Hilton creates distinctive products and facilities according to the needs of the target market.
Public Relations: The Chartered Institute of Public Relations defines public relations as “arranged and supported push to build and keep up goodwill and shared seeing between an association and its publics” (Cipr.co.uk, 2013) In basic terms, advertising can be clarified as a restricted correspondence between the organization and the general population. Hilton Hotels & Resorts public relations are kept up through correspondence with a scope of gatherings, for example, clients, representatives, and other private and open associations. Particular routines for public relations utilized by Hilton Hotels & Resorts incorporate issuing online and disconnected from the net press discharges in a consistent way, and corresponding through pamphlets with hierarchical stakeholders. Additionally, the organization site serves as a powerful stage for Hilton Hotels & Resorts for taking part in public relations.
Cooperate social responsibility
The present scopes of CSR projects started by Hilton incorporate working in vital associations with The Books for Kids Foundation, Special Olympics International, EPA Green Power Partnership, The Arbor Day Foundation and Global Soap Project (Partnering to intensify out effect, 2013) Moreover, Hilton Worldwide brags with a scope of honors and respects including ‘Main 60 Companies for Diversity’ by Hispanic Business Magazine, ‘Beat 100 Companies to Work For’ by Savoy Magazine, and ‘Main 50 Organizations for Multicultural Business Opportunities’ by Diversitybusiness.com (Diversity and Inclusion, n.d.) Nevertheless, the current level of adequacy of Hilton Hotels & Resorts in connection to corporate social obligation and commitment to manageability can be surveyed as inadequate considering expanding level of imperativeness of these issues and their effect on brand picture.
The current Hilton Hotels & Resorts CSR strategies don’t give careful consideration to the issues of global warming in spite of heightening concentrate on the issue in the media. This can be highlighted as a genuine deficiency in the organization CSR methodology and as needs be it needs to be tended to. Particularly, ventures and activities need to be contrived with the reasons of anticipating global warming and minimizing its negative implications for present and future eras. Also, the capability of profiting from CSR projects and activities from advertising perspective stays to be underutilized by Hilton Hotels & Resorts CSR promoting officials.
As it were, the act of engagement in CSR and helping manageability present organizations with the capability of expanding the level of brand mindfulness in a positive light and Hilton Hotels & Resorts has not utilized this chance to the full degree. (Cr.hiltonworldwide.com, 2013).
In this way, showcasing administrators at Hilton Hotels & Resorts are emphatically prescribed to incorporate the organization CSR projects and activities inside general Hilton advertising correspondence methodology.
RECOMMENDATION
Consequently after the exchange of the promoting arrangement, we should now assess the plan and further assumptions made. The two showcasing projects launched by the lodging were exceptionally fruitful furthermore gotten positive input. However in like manner, all other friendliness organizations have begun to take after the comparable projects and practices and accordingly Hilton needs to gadget an alternate inventive and supportable plan to pull in the clients. Further suppositions can be made that there can be new contestants and the current contenders can diminish their procedure with a specific end goal further bolstering addition good fortune. In addition further suspicions can be made in regards to the VAT expand and its consequences for the client reaction.
At last, Hilton needs to have a reinforcement arrange so that if the composed arrangement fizzles then it doesn’t need to waste time and assets to begin from the scratch. One reinforcement arrangement can be outlined by putting into new wander like the gaming business so that both the businesses can be combined and utilized aggregately to draw in diverse clients. Hilton Hotel ought to have least staff at each one shift in that matter they are need of more staff to handle developing clients or visitors. An alternate hand they are as yet lacking of a few enhancements and facilities. One recommended strategy for Hilton is to emphasize the importance of family in all its hotels, including the gaming and casino locations.
Hilton needs to ensure they are right in the middle of this demographic of parents traveling with children. Las Vegas has spent millions to attract families by adding children’s attractions as well as the traditional casinos for the adults. Since there is a greater demand and vacation time has become one of the few times that families are able to spend quality time together, Hilton must capitalize on this market segment. They ought to additionally posture mission and vision at the front office, the staff likewise ought to keep up individual cleanliness particularly on the front office. Also they ought to likewise converse with clients in a pleasant and fitting way.in request to conquer this security of things they ought to see to it that these suggestions must put without hesitation.
In this way as we have discussed the marketing strategy for Hilton hotel, one can unmistakably say that Hilton in reality has part of potential to turn into the main cordiality organization on the planet. Promoting is the greatest medium to achieve clients and pass on the brand quality to them and hence if utilized as a part of a legitimate way, it can help in accomplishing points of reference. At long last, I might want to express that this specialty of marketing can help Hilton Hotels in all conceivable means furthermore to expand its piece of the pie. I close the marketing for Hilton Hotels Corporation with these evaluations and speculations,
While the focus can still be on the high dollars that are tossed around in the casinos by the parents, it will be critical that the hotel have the facilities available that will attract parents with children to stay at the property. Growth in the hotel and hospitality industry will include a continued focus on gaming, international expansion and using all media to promote its products to potential customers. However, some hotels have elaborate arcades, game areas, and child-care centers intended for those traveling with children (Hilton Hotels Corporation, 2007).
HHC will be able to take advantage of opportunities that will enable growth while identifying threats that may affect profitability. I therefore, conclude by studying national and regional industry trends,
