Why Hampton by Hilton?

Hampton by Hilton is one of the most effective brands in North America. Although part of Hilton they have been able to create a brand of their own with more than 1500 hotels in the US alone. Hampton is also focused on going international; they have illustrated success when going international through its entry into Mexico and Canada. Their new focus is the United Kingdom and India. Hampton by Hilton during our search process was also the most helpful and their plans for global expansion were far more concrete than any other brands. We believe the product is a proven product and the team is like no other. Hampton was also a flexible brand eager to adapt to the Indian market place. Palm Holdings has been working with Hampton to adapt the brand and create an Indian flavor, an east meets west design.
