Why the $26 Billion Buyout of Hilton Was So Successful

Chris Nassetta, Hilton President and CEO, reflects on how Blackstone Inc. brought him on to run the hotel chain in 2007 just before the Great Recession. Blackstone bought the company for about $26 billion. He appears on "The David Rubenstein Show: Peer-to-Peer Conversations." This interview was recorded December 1.

As a diamond member, Hilton is now a Holiday Inn . Bring back customer first and renovate these hotel as they are so sad. I’ll checkout and go to Marriott or Weston in most of the markets you serve.

Then they got into timeshares so they could really screw people over.

Happy Times with cashing out cheap money . Let's celebrate the success of Fleecing.

Hilton is not a 42 billion dollar company. With decent financials.
His quote, what goes down must come up is true for the whole market. Buy and hold.
