History
The first Hampton Inn opened in 1984. At the time, it was owned by the Holiday corporation, which started the brand as a budget hotel chain. In 1989, Holiday-originated holding company Promus Hotel Corporation focused on upgrading the Hampton Inn hotels to bring them into the middle market. As part of the drive to begin competing with mid-range hotels, Hampton Inn became the first to start including a complimentary continental breakfast. This period also introduced the 100% satisfaction guarantee. The strategy proved successful; in 1990, there were over 220 Hampton Inn locations. In 1995, the chain introduced Hampton Inns and Suites, which offered suites with kitchens and living rooms.
Hilton Worldwide bought Promus, including its Hampton Inn brand, in 1999. As of 2004, Hilton dedicated focused efforts and resources to bring further upgrades to the Hampton Inn hotels. Small yet essential touches included hot options at the free breakfast, free room internet and a hi-tech alarm and mp3 player in every room.
2012 and the ensuing years saw further upgrades designed to appeal to a younger demographic. Changes included updated design elements inside and outside, power access panels in the bedside tables and expanded lobbies.
Today, Hampton Inn continues to expand its locations yearly. While most are located within the United States, locations are opening throughout the world, including the recent opening of a Hampton at the Dubai International Airport and plans for new openings in Chile, France and China.
Ideal Candidate
Hampton Inn projects an average investment of $6,903,800 - $17,091,650. It charges a $75,000 franchise application fee, which can vary depending on circumstances. To operate a Hampton Inn, a franchisee must own appropriate premises or hold a long-term lease for them. Hilton mandates highly specific operational guidelines, including the use of proprietary software and various equipment. Experience in hotel management is highly preferred; in cases where Hilton determines a lack of adequate experience, it may accept the franchise application but require management by Hilton or an approved company.
