Hilton Worldwide (NYSE: HLT) today announced honors for its top
annual development awards in the Americas. Awards are presented in
five categories across the company’s portfolio of hotels,
including: Developer of the Year, Best Conversion, Deal of the
Year, Outstanding Achievement and Lifetime Achievement. Recipients
are recognized based on criteria ranging from total number and
quality of hotels developed to impact on community and fastest
construction time. Once nominated, the finalists are chosen by
Hilton Worldwide’s global brand heads.
“We are proud to celebrate the achievements of these valued
Hilton Worldwide partners with whom we have developed strong
relationships that have allowed us to expand our footprint not only
in Americas, but globally,” said Matt Wehling, senior vice
president, development – U.S. and Canada, Hilton Worldwide. “The
growth and success of our portfolio of brands can be attributed to
our dedicated owners who share innovative vision and leadership,
service-oriented culture, exceptional management skills, and
committed values.”
A Lifetime Achievement Award is given each year to a developer
based on the commitment to his or her quality of projects, impact
on local community, significant work in the development arena over
a minimum of 20 years, as well as loyalty to the Hilton family of
brands.
The Lifetime Achievement Award was given to Stephen L.
Schwartz, chairman of First Hospitality Group, a leading developer,
owner and operator of quality hotels in the Midwest since 1984.
“We couldn’t be happier to honor Steve and his entire team at
First Hospitality Group with the Lifetime Achievement Award,” said
Wehling. “Our relationship with Steve started more than 30 years
ago, back in the Promus days of our company’s history, and since
then we’ve cultivated an invaluable partnership that helps bring
our brands to life at his 20 Hilton Worldwide properties. We wish
to congratulate him on this achievement.”
