Newly Redesigned Website Highlights Ongoing Efforts to Partner with Property Owners and Establish Hilton Worldwide as a Leader in Hospitality Operations
Hilton Worldwide today announced a new initiative designed to bolster its management arm and help hotel owners navigate the challenges of today’s difficult economy. Hilton Management Services (HMS), one of the largest management companies in the industry, is pleased to offer prospective clients a new, comprehensive website where they can learn about a full range of services designed to maximize their return on investment. The initiative was unveiled today by Tim Benolken, senior vice president, operations, western North America, Hilton Worldwide. Benolken spoke at The Lodging Conference, an annual event attended by hotel owners and developers at the Arizona Biltmore, which is managed by Hilton Worldwide.
“In one of the most challenging years on record, Hilton managed properties delivered a RevPar (revenue per available room) premium of 117 percent, and we reduced costs by 30 percent through permanent cost control programs and best practices,” said Benolken. “Our use of innovative programs, such as LightStay, also saved our hotel owners more than $29 million in utility costs alone in 2009.”
