BEVERLY HILLS, CA, February 23, 2007. Hilton Hotels (NYSE:HLT) recognized its top hotels during an awards ceremony at the brand's annual conference of general managers and directors of food and beverage, held this year in New Orleans, Louisiana. At a special award ceremony, Hilton presented 29 awards to the North American hotels which best exemplified the Hilton vision and excellence in performance. Hotels were chosen based on their outstanding performance in the brand's "Balanced Scorecard" rating system in areas such as customer loyalty, service, quality assurance and customer satisfaction ratings - as well as exemplary efforts in hotel renovation and diversity projects.

"2006 was an outstanding year for Hilton Hotels in North America and the Caribbean, and these awards recognize outstanding achievement in delivering transformative travel experiences for our guests," said Jeff Diskin, senior vice president of brand management and marketing - Hilton Hotels. "These winners represent the experience standards we want our guests to experience at all our hotels."

The Connie Awards, named in honor of company founder Conrad Hilton, are awarded based on three key components, including: quality assurance audits measuring cleanliness, condition and brand standards; customer scores rating staff service; and customer service scores rating the quality of the hotel's physical accommodations.
