For example, the number of hotels that are actually owned by Hilton can almost be counted with your fingers and toes. (It’s between 20 and 30, last time I checked.) That’s about 30 out of over 6,200 properties worldwide.
There are distinct benefits to operating a hotel as part of a major hotel group like Hilton. As mentioned in the article, having access to the frequent guests of the hotel group can be great. Additionally, these three hotels will be able to use Hilton’s property management system as well as their revenue management software. Having pre-packaged software that is already optimized for the United States market is going to be a great for a company that currently only has two other US properties (in the Catskills).
Although I never thought this resort would actually happen, I’m happy that I was wrong. Based on some of the decisions Resorts World has made (like going with Hilton), I think this place might actually survive. They just need some deep pockets to make it through a year or two of COVID-reduced travel.
