Embassy Suites by Hilton celebrated its 35th anniversary in 2019 and continued to demonstrate why it is a leader in its segment.

2019 marked not only Homewood Suites by Hilton’s 30th anniversary but also the opening of its 500th property.

Last year, Home2 Suites by Hilton explored diverse building methods, including modular construction with the opening of Home2 Suites by Hilton San Francisco Airport North, and further expanded its collection of multi-brand properties.
