Hampton by Hilton name=

I noticed the article was confusing and not current so I have been trying to add citatiosn and help it but I think I just found press that shows the brand was renamed to "Hampton by Hilton." It looks like it used to only go by that name abroad but the company is rebranding the whole chain now. So I'm adding in more "Hampton by Hilton" references to clear that up

Looks like the press supports that the name has changed, I can move the page and edit the intro.IdlePlayground (talk) 22:33, 5 October 2015 (UTC)Reply

Request: Update History

This edit request by an editor with a conflict of interest was declined.

Hi editors, on behalf of Hilton via Coyne through my work at Beutler Ink, I have a request to update this article's History section for editors to review. In the collapse box below is my proposed draft with updates in green, followed by a bulleted list that explains the changes.

Revised History

History

Foundation and early years

The hotel chain was founded by the Holiday Corporation in 1984 as Hampton Inn, a budget hotel.^[1] Its first hotel was a two-story, exterior-entrance building with 128 guest rooms located at 1585 Sycamore View Road in Memphis, Tennessee. The second Hampton opened in Spartanburg, South Carolina.^[2] That location's general manager, Phil Cordell, would run the hotel chain for 30 years.^[2] In late 1989, after some financial difficulties, Holiday Corporation prepared to sell its hallmark Holiday Inn hotels and started the holding company Promus Hotel Corporation, which included Hampton Inn, Embassy Suites, and Homewood Suites. With this change, Promus re-invested in the Hampton Inn brand and began its change from a budget hotel to a middle-market limited service hotel to compete with their freshly sold former brand. Because of this, they moved away from exterior room access buildings in favor of taller buildings (usually 3–5 stories) with indoor corridors. This eventually resulted in the original Hampton Inn in Memphis closing in 2005.^[3] The building has since been a Ramada and an America’s Best Value Inn and is currently operated as a Motel 6.^[4]

The hotel chain was the first of the mid-price hotels to offer free continental breakfast^[5] and the first to introduce the "100 percent satisfaction guarantee."^[6] By 1990, the Hampton Inn chain included over 220 properties with more than 27,000 rooms.^[7] Hampton Inn and Suites was introduced in 1995, which featured two-room suite style hotel rooms complete with living room and kitchen areas.^[5]

Raymond E. Schultz was credited with creating the Hampton Inn brand. His wife, Erin Schultz, is credited with inspiring the name for the brand.

In 1999, Promus Hotel Corporation was bought by Hilton Worldwide for $3.7 billion. The deal included Hilton's acquisition of Embassy Suites, DoubleTree, Homewood Suites, and of course, Hampton by Hilton. The deal was considered one of the largest deals in the hotel industry, behind the Marriott International and Starwood Hotels and Resorts merger in 2016.

Development since 2000

In 2004, as part of the $100 million "Make it Hampton" initiative,^[8] Hampton began upgrading its hotels including the production of an alarm clock which featured a dimmable clock display, oversized buttons, an easy-to-set alarm, one touch adjustment for daylight saving time and an mp3 player hook-up.^[9] In the 2000s, Hampton made a number of other changes to differentiate from other brands. According to Bloomberg, these included adopting white bedspreads to highlight cleanliness and free, hot breakfasts, including waffle irons.^[2] It was around this time that rooms offered free high-speed Internet.^[8] In 2012, under the "Perfect Mix" initiative, the company completed upgrades to the lobbies of its hotels adding more social space. Hampton continued to renovate its spaces with a campaign introduced in 2013, directed towards younger clientele that included in-room mini-fridges, new bedside tables with power access, updated bathrooms, and updated hotel exteriors.^[10] Hampton has ranked in Entrepreneur magazine's Franchise 500 list for 25 years, placing in the top ten nine times, as of 2024.^[11] The brand has ranked first in the lodging category for 17 consecutive years, as of 2026. ^[12]

In 2025, Hilton was the top-performing brand in the Upper Midscale category of J.D. Power's North America Hotel Guest Satisfaction Index.^[13]

In 2024, Hampton by Hilton launched a new North American prototype and brand identity.^[14]^[15]^[16]^[17]

In 2020, three Hampton Inn locations were used to hold over 100 refugee children by the United States Department of Homeland Security prior to their expulsion.^[18]

Hampton by Hilton → Hampton Inn – The former name "Hampton Inn" still seems to be in wide use. See this, this, this, etc. Most directories and Google Maps still list the locations as "Hampton Inn", suggesting this is still the WP:COMMONNAME. Compare how the page for Howard Johnson's still uses the apostrophe-S despite the company officially dropping it in the 80s, as many sources still call that chain "Howard Johnson's".

Note: Hi editors, on behalf of Hilton via Coyne through my work at Beutler Ink, I wanted to note that it looks like the article was moved from Hampton Inn to Hampton by Hilton in 2015 following discussion by two editors. While there are indeed sources that still use the name Hampton Inn, there are also top-tier publications that use the newer name, Hampton by Hilton. These include, but are not limited to:

BBC
CBS News
CNN
The New York Times (1)
The New York Times (2)
The Wall Street Journal (note: “Hampton by Hilton” is used in the opening paragraphs, but “Hampton Inn” is used in the photo caption and by both the interviewer and interviewee.)
The Washington Post

Here's another idea: Is it possible to name the article something along the lines of "Hampton (brand)", with an opening sentence of "Hampton by Hilton, formerly known as Hampton Inn, is an American chain of hotels trademarked by Hilton Worldwide ..."? It could be worth considering. Danilo Two (talk) 16:21, 15 July 2026 (UTC)Reply

@Necrothesp: @BarrelProof: @Yojo98: your thoughts on Danilo Two's counter-argument? I think they do bring up a good point but this could still break either way. Ten Pound Hammer (they/them) • ^{(What did I screw up now?)} 03:56, 16 July 2026 (UTC)Reply

If I don't bias my search by looking specifically for one version of the name or the other, "Hampton Inn" is very dominant in the results. Even the hotel's own website at hilton.com almost always identifies places as "Hampton Inn" or "Hampton Inn and Suites" (or "Hampton Inn & Suites"). Even pictures of the hotels show these names primarily on the signs. I think it's clear that Danilo is cherry-picking. "Hampton (brand)" is awkward and doesn't make it evident that it's about a hotel brand. See WP:NATURAL. "Hampton Inn" is not just a former name – it's being used now – even by Hilton. On the subset of signage that uses "Hampton by Hilton", the "by Hilton" is tiny and on a different line of text – often so small it is unreadable. Some signs have "Hampton" very large, then a second line with a slightly smaller "Inn & Suites" and then a third line with a really tiny "by Hilton". —⁠ ⁠BarrelProof (talk) 04:11, 16 July 2026 (UTC)Reply

I would also like to point out that most of the Wyndham brands are "officially" named "X by Wyndham" (e.g. Super 8 by Wyndham, AmericInn by Wyndham, etc.), but their articles are all at their Wyndham-less names. So there is precedent for not using the "by" part. Ten Pound Hammer (they/them) • ^{(What did I screw up now?)} 05:44, 16 July 2026 (UTC)Reply

My comment stands. -- Necrothesp (talk) 07:54, 16 July 2026 (UTC)Reply

My comment also stands. I agree with BarrelProof's reasoning here. Yojo98 (talk) 13:07, 16 July 2026 (UTC)Reply
