Hilton's Brand Prowess Continues to Attract Travelers and Third-Party Owners

Dan Wasiolek

Hilton’s strong upper scale and luxury presence are strengthening its brand intangible asset, one of the sources of its wide moat. The firm is set to expand by several hundred hotels with its February 2024 Small Luxury Hotels partnership and its April 2024 acquisition of a majority interest in the Nomad brand. Hilton's emerging midscale brand (Spark by Hilton, launched in 2023); its extended-stay offering that it also launched in 2023 (LivSmart Studios); and the acquisition of Graduate Hotels, scheduled to close in second-quarter 2024, all support its pricing prowess.

Bulls Say, Bears Say

Bulls

Hilton’s current mid-single-digit share of hotel industry rooms is set to increase, as the company controls about 20% of the rooms under construction in the global hotel industry pipeline.

Bears

Recent brand launches from competing hotel operators and home and vacation rental platforms present a competitive threat, and the advancement of technology and its use by next-generation travelers increase the access and awareness of these properties.
