Hilton creates All Suites category

Hilton Worldwide is creating the All Suites brand category to include Embassy Suites by Hilton, Homewood Suites by Hilton and Home2 Suites by Hilton, as well as changing up its brand leadership roster to further maximise performance across the enterprise.
The company said it orchestrated this movement to amplify its growing brand portfolio, and with its All Suites category, maximise the synergistic relationship that the three brands share across development, operations and sales. It said these changes will foster greater owner support, quality assurance and product enhancement.
Jim Holthouser, executive vice president, global brands, Hilton Worldwide, said: ?One of Hilton Worldwide?s greatest attributes is our brand management expertise and leadership. Today our brand management strength is as important as ever with the rapid global expansion of our brands and the need to keep them fresh, relevant and highly competitive.

With this in mind, I am delighted to announce that several of our brand leaders will be taking on new assignments within our portfolio.?
