Hilton Worldwide recently released its latest 10-Q report. The company describes itself as a hospitality operator that manages, franchises, and leases hotels and resorts through two segments: Management and Franchise, and Ownership. Its portfolio spans luxury, lifestyle, full-service, focused-service, all-suites, and timeshare brands, with operations across the Americas, EMEA, and Asia Pacific.
In Item 2, Hilton said it had 9,260 properties and 1,362,278 rooms in 144 countries and territories as of March 31, 2026, along with 251 million Hilton Honors members, up 15% from March 31, 2025. The company said its management and franchise segment earns fees from third-party hotel owners, licensing, and related services, while the ownership segment generates revenue from room sales, food and beverage, and other services at consolidated hotels. Hilton also said the U.S. accounted for 64% of system-wide hotel rooms as of March 31, 2026.
Hilton reported 131 hotel openings in the first quarter, adding 16,300 rooms, and net additions of 102 hotels and 10,900 rooms. Its development pipeline stood at 3,768 hotels and about 527,000 rooms at quarter-end, including 224 additions and 26,200 rooms during the quarter. Hilton said the pipeline covered 129 countries and territories, with 26 markets where it had no existing hotels, and that nearly all of those rooms are expected to enter the management and franchise segment.
The company said 6,966 hotels were classified as comparable hotels, while 1,647 were non-comparable and 533 were strategic partner hotels. Hilton said the development pipeline was more than half outside the U.S., with almost half of the rooms under construction. It also noted that elevated inflation and interest rates have created delays in openings and new development in some cases. Today the company's shares have moved 0.4% to a price of $335.63.
