Hampton by Hilton is known for its signature waffles and toppings. These have a cult following and die-hard fans have their favorite combos when staying at the hotels. This month, Hampton by Hilton is celebrating its 40th birthday with limited-edition Birthday Cake Waffles.
For the month of August, more than 2,200 Hampton hotels across the US and Canada will offer Birthday Cake Waffles as part of the free, hot breakfasts served. The waffles are topped with colorful sprinkles, strawberry sauce, and whipped cream. This makes for a sweet and fun breakfast when staying at Hampton hotels.
As Hampton by Hilton celebrates its 40th birthday, I found it fascinating to see how the chain was formed and grew into what it is today. It started in 1984 as Hampton Inn and was owned by the Holiday Corporation, which also used to own Holiday Inn. In 1989, it sold Holiday Inn and became Promus Hotel Corporation. Promus also owned several other brands that are now in the Hilton portfolio including Embassy Suites and Homewood Suites. The Hampton Inn brand was revamped and evolved from a budget hotel to a middle-market limited service hotel. By 1990, Hampton had 220 locations. In 1999, Hilton purchased Promus for $3.7 billion and added the three brands to its roster.
Anthony’s Take: Who doesn’t love a hot waffle? Happy 40th Birthday, Hampton!
