Throughout the brand’s global expansion, Hampton Hotels has remained

services that will enhance the guest experience, while providing value
to owners. Over the past 30 years Hampton has introduced many
industry-defining offerings such as the first complimentary hot

TREATS, a focused service food and beverage concept. These key
factors, among others, have led to Hampton’s steadfast growth to the
2,000th hotel milestone.
