This hotel company began trading in Dec 2013 and has a significant presence in major hospitality markets across the world. The company has an industry-leading guest loyalty program — Hilton HHonors loyalty program — which serves over 52 million members worldwide. Given its property locations and strong brand recognition, solid transient business as well as its improving group business trends will continue to be major RevPAR drivers for the company seems to be well-positioned.
